Peter Chiarelli is the worst GM in NHL history, including Mike Milbury.

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

At least Mad Mike wasn't stupid enough to trade for one player his team's star hates and attempt to make said star player request a trade.

Yep he's cemented himself as WOAT at this point after that. Sorry EDM fans. Does he have evidence of a murder ownership committed or something?

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Not even close to worse then milbury and arguable if Waddell and others are here too, people really must not remember milbury or weren’t alive then or old enough.

It wasn’t just that milbury traded and drafted and then drafted and traded all horrible, but he fired what like 7 coaches in nine years and STILL kept his job with no success. At least chia had some success and hasn’t had as many firings or as many worse moves, and acted like an arrogant prick as much as mike.

Worst GM ever.

As much as recency bias and even at the time Hall for Larsson is and was mocked, in 2017 playoffs most said it was a solid trade while New Jersey and hall did nothing and then oilers improved defensively and almost made it to the conference finals.

So by my count the trade is 1-1 s the devils clearly won it last year and it’s not close.

Seeing the devils worse Then the oilers and hall while very good notmsetting the world on fire (since scoring is up I mean he’s still on a great pace but lots of guys are) I don’t think the trade is or was as bad as people make it sound when it comes to team needs, especially if larsson just continued to play well.

all that being said he’s obviously a GM that makes big risks and with that he can strike gold or he can look foolish.

Sure he’s probably one of the worst at the moment but even eberle isn’t amazing and coming off that run in the playoffs where he did nothing, fans asked for a trade but wanted a better return.

He also should try and get better guys then wideman, though I liked the Bouchard draft.

You know that guy who traded a paper clip for a slightly more valuable object, and repeated the process with the newly acquired slightly more valuable object, until he was able to trade his newest object for a house?

Peter Chiarelli is doing that backwards.

 

[Romang67]

Sorry, winning a Cup already makes you so much better than a guy like Milbury.

You can argue that his most recent 5-year stretch, or his tenure with the Oilers, are the worst 5-year stretch or tenure with a team of all time. But that Cup (and another SCF appearance, mind you) separates him from the absolute worst.

That probably goes to Milbury as well.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I Heart Chiarelli!

 

[LeafFever]

Still think Millbury is the worst, followed by Ron Caron.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

I don’t think that you truly understand the terribleness of Mike milbury.

 

[aufheben]

It’d be nice to actually post the significant parts of their resumes.

Won a Cup with a team made of 95% of players he inherited.

Jeff Gorton contributed more to Boston's cup win than Chia did, and he was only the job for a few months

 

[HarryLime]

Just imagine if they didn't get McDavid. It's inane they've had the best player in the league for going on 3 years and still suck.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Haha, I literally came into the mains to make this thread.

 

[Ryan Michaels]

Holy overreaction Batman. He's very bad but I highly doubt the move will result in a trade request.

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Well, he can’t very much put on his resume that he can beat up people with a shoe.

 

[Soliloquy of a Dogge]

He's a complete and total invalid.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Garth Snow is easily in the mix

 

[JSlick]

Chia gifted McD, cap space, along with a bunch of assets to work with and he still manages to f*** everything up

This is what's crazy to me. Wow. LMFAO

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

Garth Snow is easily in the mix

He got barzal and most of beauvillier for griffen Reinhart. He is not even close to being in the mix.

Fleecing Peter Chiarelli should have an asterisk though. That’s like stealing candy from a sleeping baby.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Effectively telling your superstar player to go f*** himself, by trading for his sworn enemy has to be unprecedented in sports history, right?

 

[Thrasymachus]

Just imagine if they didn't get McDavid. It's inane they've had the best player in the league for going on 3 years and still suck.

Milbury would have traded McDavid by now

Garth Snow is below average, far from worst of all time. He had some shrewd moments but also a lot of glaring flaws.

Snow had 1 playoff win in a decade. He is a bottom 5 GM in the last 25 years

Don Waddell says hello.
