Oilers finally fire GM Chiarelli: report
Congrats Oilers

 

[BHD]

Well the trade deadline should be less dramatic.

They'll probably do something like trade Talbot+ to Carolina for Ferland, give Ferland a stupidly expensive contract and end up regretting it halfway through next season. Seems to be the Oilers way.

Why did he sign the finnish goalie if he was getting fired 1 day later

Why did he sign the finnish goalie if he was getting fired 1 day later

He did not know....obviously.

Good news for Oil fans but the rest of us lose a lot of laughs.

Why did he sign the finnish goalie if he was getting fired 1 day later

I mean, the obvious answer is he does his job as he sees fit until such time as hes not GM.

The real question is why did ownership let him sign the goalie when the entire hockey world saw it coming

Ya, and the president or owner needs to see the signature before accepting

Why would a owner accept his Gm to do a deal 1 day before he kicks him out?

 

[JTRAIN1966]

Well anywho.........like @Smitty426 has said, Congratulations to the Oilers fans . Now if they can just dump the rest of the front office staff .

Ya, that was exactly my point.

How can the owner accept this, clearly he doesnt think Chia is fit to the task but let him sign a heavy contract ? Makes no sense

Because Sr management and ownership are incompetent.

Are we throwing a HF party in wake of Chia's firing? I know more than half of this website started celebrating yesterday.

It kind of looks like that signing was the deciding factor but you're right, it would have been wise for the Prez to monitor and veto but maybe he is just as bad?

Thats what I think too.

I mean I hear the " old boys club" and that the owners only hire their friends, but I hope they dont hire an other of their friends..

This doesnt make any sense. If the signing was the deciding factor for ownership, they wouldnt have let him do it.

My guess is they hire Burke and then trade Draisaitl for Ferland and Hamilton and the oilers are terrible for another decade.

Most of this board is actually kind of upset. It means the Oilers finally have a chance of being good.

It is puzzling nonetheless . Why not just fire him then instead of, waiting for another loss, & saying.......You're fired ?!

I seen one guy's response on Twitter that was pretty hilarious . It goes as such . Chiarelli giving Mikko Koskinen a 3 year extension as he was about to be fired is, the hockey equivalent of farting right before, leaving a room !

good riddance, what a buffoon

I'm guessing the ownership was supportive of the signing. They were going to keep him regardless of who the GM is.

 

[TOGuy14]

Oilers ownership and management group is a dumpster fire.

They let Chiarelli sign a goalie with 20 games played to a 3 year 4.5M contract and then fire him a couple days later.

What a gong show.

 

[King In The North]

Could it be that ownership dictated the signing?
