I'm at that point now too.I'll take aghast-Craig MacTavish any day over this idiot.

My guess: Chiarelli, Nicholson, Lowe, MacTavish, Howson, and the GretzkysWho are the people involved in decision making process?
Wait, when did the Oilers have that sort of franchise since the 80's?Only guy in the world, that get's paid 3 million a year, to destroy a once dominate and proud franchise, And still has a job...
Fire them all except the GretzkysMy guess: Chiarelli, Nicholson, Lowe, MacTavish, Howson, and the Gretzkys
Fire them all except the Gretzkys
Keith Gretzky has done well at the draftI don't think the Gretzky's have that much of an impact aside from PR but if it means firing them all, then they can go too
That is extremely debatable.Keith Gretzky has done well at the draft
It is. However, Gretzky did a good job in Boston before coming to Edmonton.That is extremely debatable.
At least MacT had the balls to own up to the media and fans. Chia's just locked in a bunker somewhere.I'll take aghast-Craig MacTavish any day over this idiot.
I think at this point we pretty much have to rely on a 2-3+ year retool/rebuild. We're stuck with some bad contracts for a few years, and our top picks in Pulju and Yamamoto haven't been able to develop within this organization (no surprise there).Been reading this thread to see what the take on Chiarelli is, and I am getting crazy frustrated reading posts on job he is doing, and I’m a Jet fan.
Can’t imagine how frustrating it is for fans of the team.
My question to this board is, what direction do you think is best, at this point and time, for the team? (assuming you fire Chiarelli):
1) A quick retooling, sell off some assets, suck for a couple of seasons to try and draft some running mates for McDavid?
2) more of a rebuild, a 5 to 7 year build it top down, trade off assets for draft picks to put higher talent around McDavid.
Or
3) to keep tweaking the current roster, but with a more competent GM, and see if you can get a combo, maybe better goaltending, keep looking for the right mix?

LOL

How does this guy still have a job?
Seriously
That is one thing I'll give Mac T props for. He wouldn't duck the media and made himself available quite often to take questions. Chia is a chicken ****.
You mean when they lose.It is going to be absolute chaos if the Oilers lose tomorrow.
