Yeah, but what about Craig?

 

[shoop]

Yeah, but what about Craig?

Clearly if he is Assistant to the GM, that's not at the executive level of everyone in this announcement.

No longer considered a member of the senior executive for the Oilers and deservedly so.

 

[Spawn]

Yeah, but what about Craig?

Katz must really hate cameras, he doesn't even have his picture on that page like everyone else.

The write up on Kevin Lowe from that page:

Lowe has been instrumental in the renewed success of the team both on and off the ice and will continue to work towards the continued success of the franchise in his new role. In recent years, Lowe has been assisting the strategic rebuild of one of the outstanding franchises in the League and was an integral part of the management and scouting team that selected Taylor Hall with Edmonton’s first ever number one overall draft pick in 2010, as well as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011 and Nail Yakupov in 2012.

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

"integral part of the management and scouting team that selected Taylor Hall with Edmonton’s first ever number one overall draft pick in 2010, as well as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins in 2011 and Nail Yakupov in 2012."

They make it sound like he pulled off amazing trades to get those picks, instead of being the head of management of the worst team in the league every year.

What a crock.

Where is Rocky?

SCOTT HOWSON - Sr. Vice President, Player Personnel
KELLY BUCHBERGER - Manager Player Personnel

No matter what, they still can't remove the incompetents from the organization.

That's too bad. I was hoping that he would stay with the team in some capacity. Might be a good move for him though to get some head coaching experience.

Who is the Chief Executive Clown of this Entertainment Group? Is Kevin still on the job?

No, Bob Nicholson is CEO NOW

 

[I am the Liquor]

Who is the Chief Executive Clown of this Entertainment Group? Is Kevin still on the job?

Someone with curly hair.

 

[Tyrolean]

Why aren't the rest of the OBC removed? The stench is still there from the three stooges, Lowe, Howson and MacT.

 

[frag2]

Yeah, but what about Craig?

He's on it!

 

[Up the Irons]

Lowe is vice chairman.... Yet he still has time to go to the draft just too.... Sit there I guess. Is he in hockey ops or not?

I wonder what tasks Katz gives him? What does he actually do for his near seven figure salary?

I think he is basically like a greeter at Walmart.

That and a go-to man for functions and PR.

Don't you need a warm and engaging personality for that?

It's either that or have him running multi-million dollar projects.

He is still well liked by the well heeled.

I don't think he's running multi-million dollar projects either so I guess that leaves hockey ops.

Lowe is on the Arena side now - he's managing the new Roger's place. He has nothing to do with Hockey Operations. That falls under Peter Chiarelli who answers to Bob Nicholson
