Has Chiarelli lost every trade/signing he’s made as Oilers GM? (Mod Warning post #68)

The only trade I can't judge him for was the Yakupov trade.

But the Hall trade should've gotten Edmonton: NJ 1st 2017, Zacha and Larsson. But that trade wouldn't of happened otherwise. (funny to think about since Edmonton had the 1st overall pick)

I cannot believe that nobody has mentioned Jim Benning in this thread. He must be slowly improving his stature among NHL fans.

The last year, Benning has been a downright acceptable GM. Del Zotto, Vanek, Nilsson and Gagner have all been good signings, Burrows for Dahlin and Hansen for Goldobin were great trades and his draft was very good. Pettersson is setting records in SHL and Lind looking like a steal in the 2nd round.

Rewriting history. Devil's made it clear what they were willing to offer. Oilers were behind the 8 ball

Its been said before, they wouldn't have. Anyway since we're playing that hypothetical game I think its only fair to bring in some trades from the OP's favorite team:

Rickard Rackell + John Gibson for Tyler Biggs

Seguin + Knight + Hamilton for Kessel
Wow. What a brave man. Bringing up trades made by previous management regimes.

Wayne Gretzky + McSorely + Krushelnyski for Carson + Gelinas + 3 1sts

16th + 33rd overall picks for Griffin Reinhart

Paul Coffey + Hunter + Van Dorp for Simpson + Hannan + Joseph + Mantha

Kurri + Brown + Foster for Fishter + Melanby + Berube

Chris Pronger for Lupul + Smid + 1st ----> used to pick Eberle, traded for Ryan Strome

Trading down from 17 to 22, drafting Marc Andre Pouliot instead of Zach Parise

Geoff Courtnall for Greg Adams

Milan Lucic 7 years 7 M

I guess I can stop now.

Based off of the below analysis I would say his W/L/T record in 4/4/10 but I still do believe that lots of those lost trades need to be done to create a more complete team. There were to many deficiencies with the old Oilers.

they had the pick with which barzal was selected, chances are they would've taken barzal if the trade never went through.
I highly doubt this they already had taken McDavid moved that pick for a dman which Oilers were desperate for . They would of picked a dman in that spot Chabot

Good post. Definitely agree with most of it.
I still think we wouldn't have made it as far as we did without Larsson though. That's just a result of previous regimes, not Chia's fault.

* Potential #1 Goalie for assets - similar to below; Chia had just been brought in and hadnt put his stamp on the scouting staff etc. Rumour on draft day was he didnt trust the reports he was getting from the scouts and wanted to flip those 'lotto tickets' for a more known commodity. Could have gone either way but given Talbots play last year...

except those 4 trade losses you're talking about are the big ones
Hall, Eberle, Reinhart
Its not a simple tally when you consider the gravity of those losses

Perhaps not.
But it's a great rebuttal for
Has Chiarelli lost every trade/signing he’s made as Oilers GM?

The Hall-Larsson trade would be viewed as a better transaction if Larsson were to be given the powerplay time that his skillset deserves.

His offensive reads, pass selection, puck retention, and off-the-puck movement are very good. I am still dumbfounded that the Oilers persist in not giving him a proper chance to man a powerplay unit, but I guess they want to keep him fresh for even strength and penalty kill minutes.

With that said, Woodcroft runs a terrible powerplay.

Are you behind the 8 ball if its an 8 ball of your creation? The oilers didn't need to trade Hall then and there for Larsson.
It was another attempt to strengthen our defense after the failed Reinhart trade.
Every crappy move Chia made for defense was out of urgency because McDavid was drafted and our defense was a tire fire thanks to the previous 10 years of incompetency.

With that said, Hall is a fantastic player. I think his performances dropped for the Oilers because he was disenchanted with the performance of the franchise.

If the Oilers were to have traded Hall after his 85 point season or during this season, then the return would have been Larsson plus. The Devils benefited from the Oilers having the organizational need to trade Hall at a low as there is no way that a RHD of Larsson's calibre would have been available for Eberle or RNH at that point in time.

No but litterally I mean that day they didn't need to trade Hall that day nor did they need Larsson exactly

Chiarelli's biggest strength lies in how he builds an organization's professional and amateur scouting. Our prospect and organizational depth are the best that they've been in years.

Since the 2015 draft, he has drafted players with legitimate NHL potential in lower rounds like Ethan Bear and Caleb Jones. 2016 picks like Filip Berglund (a big, two-way RHD) and Aapeli Rasanen (a tenacious, intelligent centre) have a shot at making the big club one day, and 2017 picks like Ostap Safin in the fourth round and Maksimov in the fifth round are already outperforming their draft position.

For free agents cut loose from their draft teams, Chiarelli picked up Matt Benning, a former Bruins pick who made the roster straight out of college, and Ryan Mantha, a former Rangers pick who's doing well in the AHL.

For college free agents, Chiarelli has picked up Drake Caggiula who plays up and down the line up, Nick Ellis who is the starter on our AHL team with a 0.914, and Joe Gambardella who may make it in the NHL as a fourth-line player.

To his discredit, Chiarelli trusted the opinions of Stu MacGregor and Craig MacTavish when he traded for Griffin Reinhart. That was bad.

No. This thread is silly. Chiarelli is good at minor trades. It's the major ones that get him into trouble.

Based off of the below analysis I would say his W/L/T record in 4/4/10 but I still do believe that lots of those lost trades need to be done to create a more complete team. There were to many deficiencies with the old Oilers.

* Positional trade - we needed to trade for a defenseman and everyone in the league new we were in dire need of one. No matter what we were going to loss the trade. I loved Hall as an Oiler but this is a trade I probably would do again because of need.... we were not going to get a young top 4 defenseman at the cap hit Larsson has without giving up what we did... I think Eberle for Larsson would have been better but I dont think the Devils bite on that.

Good job. The only one I'd change is the Desharnais trade to a win because he helped them advance in the playoffs and Davidson had fallen to the #8 D.

Its been said before, they wouldn't have. Anyway since we're playing that hypothetical game I think its only fair to bring in some trades from the OP's favorite team:

Rickard Rackell + John Gibson for Tyler Biggs

Seguin + Knight + Hamilton for Kessel
Why do you behave like a child instead of just accepting valid criticism of your team's GM? And congrats you brought up trades that a GM who hasn't been with the organization in 5 years made.
