Fire Chia Thread V: Manning and Petrovic and Spooner Oh ****!

[Marty McSurly]

Jones is pressing for a firing

Jones also called Chiarelli a genius one month ago. The guy is a hack.

Jones is a f***ing blowhard. One of the media hacks that need to retire already.

 

[XXIV97]

Is anyone going to the Season Ticket holders dinner today?

I'm that someone is able to post what is discussed by the Oilers

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Did Chia comment today?

 

[McAsuno]

Laughable that the captain faces the media to defend the team, yet guys like Chiarelli and Nicholson are hiding like the cowards they are. Where's Katz? Probably in the states trying to blackmail 2nd rate actresses.

 

[MikeGrier99]

Yeah let's solve the gm problem by hiring two guys already in the organization. There may be someone better in the other seven or so billion people on this planet but f*** it that sounds like tough work interviewing multiple candidates.

 

[Kaniac]

Chia dumb dumb is still GM?? My god. The second Spooner was put on waivers it should have ended his career. Fail move after fail move.

 

[HockeyGuy1964]

I'm going out on a limb & saying the Detroit game will be Chia's last as the GM of the Oilers. He might even get relieved of his duties before the Detroit game.

There's just no way he survives debacle after debacle & they let him lead the team into the trade deadline. No way. There's just too much chatter from around the league for nothing to happen.

Yeah, you take a completely serviceable NHLer in Strome, not a great guy, but a good bottom-6 guy, and you end up with a cap-killer/dead-weight. This is AFTER already losing the Eberle trade for Strome in the first place. 20 goal winger -> bottom-6 guy -> nothing. Jesus H Christ that is pathetic.

Listening to Shannon try and rationalize Chia's moves is simply mind boggling. It seems the issue is that fans in Canada care too much and Chia has to learn to work with that.

Hoping for an Oilers embarrassing loss against Detroit. Just to see what happens.

I had to turn off at that point. There's absolutely NOTHING anybody can rationalize Idiotrelli's stupid moves.

Shannon would be a better GM than Chia.

 

[Soundwave]

Shannon is Hitch's bud, he probably knows if the GM is gone the coach isn't far behind.

Barring a significant health concern, Hitch is here to the end of the season.

 

[Uindicator]

Man Shannon is more of a jock sniffer than I thought. That guy is up there as most annoying in hockey media

 

[Fourier]

I am not so sure. But I hope we don't have to find out.

Stauffer has pretty much written Chia off by the sounds of it. That means he is all but done.

 

[ThreeOfAPerfectPair]

Well "Peter Chiarelli" is trending in Canada on twitter and he's getting absolutely roasted by everyone.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

the NHL should revoke Katz' ownership for allowing Chiarelli to still be employed

You have to be patient with Nothing.

 

[Stoneman89]

Say what? Is Jones off of his rocker? Hitch is a coach, not a GM. Hitch is struggling with his own job right now, let alone throw something else at him. Maybe Joey should be his assistant as well.

 

[MaxR11]

ya, the fact that he's still gm is fishy. i think he's maybe actually not in control anymore and it's more a collection of hitch, lowe and macT making most of the calls. he may truly be the puppet gm now.... just the guy making the calls under the orders of the bunch i mentioned.

They'll make something out of nothing yet!

I sure wish this “nothing” guy also didn’t have a cap hit next year that we’ll have to eat.

Which makes Eberle's expiring deal all the more ironic. He was traded to save cap space (that we didn't need to save) and now we're paying more next year...
