Give Chiarelli a chance

[McRpro]

Lol is that from The Nielson Show?

 

[Fixxer]

I give him a Dorion A for Effort. In other words fire him and find someone more patient.

The thing about Chiarelli "lack of patience"is that he was hired as a Grade A GM, to balance of the team between the young talent and to put some defense into place.
When he got in, Edmonton had RNH, Hall, Draisaitl, Yakupov and they were getting McDavid.
He was pressed to find defense. On the first season, when the Larsson for Hall trade happened, Talbot was having a great year in Edmonton's net and Larsson looked like he was a great addition. Hall was great with NJ, but not elite on his first year there.

Go to bed Chia

After an extensive GM search the oilers shock the hockey world and re-hire Pete C.

 

[Mr Positive]

as far as I'm concerned, since Chiarelli joined the Oilers, our major need was an offensive defenseman, and he even said this when he took the damn job. I was very patient with him because I know it's not easy, but the fact is that he never gave us one, even with putting Hall up for sale. With our pick that gave us Bouchard, he even said that this reduced his need to get an offensive defenseman! He basically gave up on the 2018-19 season at that point. He simply failed at his one major assignment.

 

[Stand Witness]

He was given a chance after being fired... by the Oilers. Didn't work.

Good Evening,

I noticed that Chiarelli isn't given enough credit on these boards. I admit he didn't succeed in Edmonton. But what he accomplished in Boston is still notable.

Drafting Pastrnak
Drafting Marchand
Signing Chara
Trading Kessel to Toronto
2011 Stanley Cup
2013 Finals

Do I want him to be the GM of my favorite team? Probably not. Not right now.

But I think some team will hire him in the future

hey chia

 

[Dynamic]

Take a good look at the last two years and what Chi did. Most moves were bad. Some were terrible. A couple of them were astonishingly stupid ( trading drake caggiula for manning when we desperately needed nhl forwards and already had an unlimited supply of number 7/8 defensemen). I would be shocked if he gets another GM job in the NHL.

 

[Joey Moss]

He thought Manning would help the Oilers and the AHL team didn't even agree, he was getting scratched in Bakersfield.

His managing is pure comedy, I hope he gets hired somewhere.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Will get a shot as an assistant GM. I could see him in Vegas if McCrimmon gets a GM job in the NHL. Heard Crim might be Seattle's new GM.

Gets one last stint as an NHL GM, messes it up and never is a GM again. That or he instantly becomes President of an NHL team. Likely a team that is the biggest trainwreck in NHL history since the Oilers.

 

[Buffaloed]

They locked him alone in a room with a loaded gun, a rope, a knife, and a bottle of cyanide. How many chances does he need?

 

[ColbyChaos]

Honestly have no clue if it was all him or the high up clowns in Edmonton that dictated his moves. Remember the Seguin trade for instance pretty much the entire room wanted him gone (Sans Sweeney I think)

some speculation that seabrook might have been on chia's radar...unfortunately he got canned before he could pull the trigger

 

[Leafs87]

I think he’d look great in Ottawa

 

[Kevin Musto]

I pray that he gets another job. Perhaps as GM in Seattle. The league is a whole lot less fun without Chia.

 

[EdmFlyersfan]

Chiarelli turned into a pumpkin like Lucic...he's done as a GM.

Didn't succeed in Edmonton? He dumpstered the team and what's left are some of the most idiotic contracts in the league. Not enough credit? -->

 

[Eisen]

Don't worry. He'll get a job sooner or later. Clubs forget failures and remember experience. Also, old boys club.

Peter.... posting on this board probably won't get you another job.

As the new President of hockey ops? Wouldn’t surprise me.

 

[Soundwave]

Just for the record, Marchand was Jeff Gorton's pick. Chiarelli did not join the Bruins until July 15th, which was after that draft.

Bruins drafting was largely mediocre for Chiarelli's early years until they hired Keith Gretzky ... Gretzky made the Pastranak, McAvoy, and DeBrusk picks.

But hey, if some other team wants to hire Chiarelli ... go for it, lol. Hope you don't have any talented wingers you're fond of.

 

[aufheben]

I love how short his list of good decisions is even when you include things other people did lol.

 

[Rpenny]

Maple leafs should hire him stat

 

[Quality Oil]

Yes please, someone else give him a chance. Preferably one of our divisional rivals.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Absolutely Chia should get another chance. Hopefully in Calgary or Toronto...I doubt Boston or Edmonton would give him another shot, so let's see. What other teams do I hate...would be a good laugh if he went to one of the Cali teams...
