They can have himI would try to get Vigneault, in the event of his firing. Give him Coach and GM and he will quickly chase Cups.
Literally anyone except for Bergevin can replace Chiarelli and it'd be an improvement. Worst GM in Oilers history.
MacT did a better job honestly.
Tambo and MacT were bad because they sat on their hands and did nothing. Lowe did a great job building solid teams on a miniscule budget. Chiarelli has consistently squandered assets and given out crippling contracts to mediocre players. No one in Oilers history has done so little with so much.Hfboards is a joke because of posts like this. Steve Tambellini? MacTavish? Lowe?
Half the **** you guys blame chia for are a direct result of the morons in charge before he came around

The team is better because of McDavid. Remove him and this roster is no better than any of MacT's teams.The Oilers are a drastically better team under Chia and he made some great moves last year... Team made the playoffs and won a round.
MacTavish ****ing hired Eakins dude enough said
Mike millbury and cody eakins

You think the Russell-Gryba pairing is any better?If you say so. The old dcore of Cam Barker and Nikitin with Eakins behind the bench is clearly just as good as the team now sans McDavid
You think the Russell-Gryba pairing is any better?
Chiarelli's team has the luxury of having the best player in the world and they're still on pace to finish with 64 points.
Last season we had insane luck with injuries and almost every player had career highs. The team has come back down to earth and sucked even before the flu bug hit. They're better than 3rd last in the league but not making the playoffs with McDavid in his last ELC year is unacceptable.Uhhh yes, drastically better. Did you watch the Oilers back then?
And what last season doesn't matter? This year's team is riddled with the flu, injury to Sekera, lost Draisaitl early in the season and is having confidence issues.
Last year they over achieved, this year theure under achieving. They'll fall somewhere in the middle...
The world isn't ending guys its okay

The thing that bugs me the most is that Chiarelli is still refusing to take questions from the media. At least Tambo and MacT had the balls to face the fans when they ****ed up.
Those press conferences didn't help anything. If anything it hurt the team and probably cost Lowe and MacT their jobs after fans revolted following one of those pressers.
And when did MacT and Tambo have press conferences 20 games into the season?
