TSN: EDM Chiarelli press conference @ 12 EST

[kittiecarlyle]

I see nothing wrong here.

Looks like a good GM who is polling his staff and trying to get details on a very sensitive subject. He obviously doesn't want to trade seguin.

Really? Ok.

"Speed comes in the form of faster skaters, and moving pucks."

HOCKEY GENIUS

 

[CycloneSweep]

How hard is "sort of" to understand? No he didn't literally trade him. He still could have drafted a fast and skilled player if that's what he wanted but instead he went after a well known slow plug who did nothing for them. His whole philosophy behind the team was size and toughness and now he's wondering why he doesn't have speed or skill. Trades like that is why

If you look at the players drafted at those 2 picks or after, the Oilers right now could be sitting on a combo of Barzal, Connor, Chabot and Aho, Dermott or Carlo.

ANY of that would be better than the 9 games or whatever we got out of Reinhart.

Even after the Eberle or Hall trades....could you imagine adding even Connor and Carlo to this team right now? Much improved.

 

[King In The North]

Did he just speak for the sake of speaking?

I'm assuming you bash the Bruins as well for passing on him 3 times?

 

[CycloneSweep]

He tends to do that. People want him to talk and answer but he has nothing of value to say.

 

[Hunter368]

Too much money spent on three C’s......shocker.

Drai to McDavid wing or Nuge is gone.

Judging by the video , Chia really doesn't like skill does he?
That would explain the early demise of Hall and Eberle here!

 

[King In The North]

Ah. Thanks, I don't have a stream so just wanted to know if he was saying anything of substance.

Yes I do

 

[mattydamon]

Honestly what was the point of that press conference? Why hold it? Cannot see the reason at all.

Sort of vaguely implying they might trade a center? What a tire fire, feel bad for EDM fans with these bozos running the show.

This is the last time I believe in anything Talbot says.

 

[Samuel Culper III]

Well... they’re not trading McDavid and I’d be surprised if they held a press conference to let people know they might move RNH so... Draisaitl is available is the only conclusion I could come up with.

 

[Little Psycho]

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing was said. Which isn't surprising since he hasn't been doing anything for years except drafting first overall picks. Can't say the man is inconsistent.

 

[Moon Knight]

Chiarelli on potential trades: 'We're not going to blow it up'

The guys an idiot. Should be fired.

wtf people seriously want the Oilers to blow it all up again? As if that's worked out well for them for the last decade(s) or so.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Probably called the presser in the midst of all these Karlsson rumblings, to get some of his fans' ears perked up to think maybe he made a good trade for once.

No such luck.

I feel sorry for Oilers fans who have to put up with such incompetence. Miss those Stars-Oilers feuds of yesteryear.

First thing Oilers should do is fire Chiarelli and the entire scouting staff

 

[compan]

Has he really said stuff like that? Because that sounds a lot like Ken Hollands deflections

He has not outwardly said that to my knowledge, but his track record certainly says it loud enough. About as loud as "contracts are hard".

 

[GTislanders]

Hall for Adam Larsson
Eberle for Strome

Those two trades alone are enough to have you hung from a lamp post on the street corner. Let's not even touch the Reinhart trade, as that was the precursor to landing a player averaging 1.05 points Per game in his career thus far, fourth only to McDavid, Crosby, Ovechkin and Malkin.

Truly horrific general manager.

But don't forget the worst of all.

Seguin for ...well nobody anymore.

 

[Kalost]

You mean pro scouting? Our drafts are a billion times better than they used to be, could be better sure but we're finally doing decent drafting and you want them fired?

How about we wait til a non first rounder cracks the lineup before praising the drafting.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

Stars fans still thanking their lucky Stars on that Seguin trade. The video shows Chia talking to an unidentified GM. Always wondered how he got around to Nill.

 

[CornKicker]

thought t was going to be a press conference to announce the banner raising for the 84-85 northland coliseum concession staff and how they were one of the greatest concession sales crew ever assembled.

Flash header on TSN.ca so no link...

Any Oiler fans know what's up? Concession speech?

LIVE: Chiarelli media availability

Letting everyone know they are going to win the Lottery again and draft Dahlin? lol
