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

[Empoleon8771]

Chiarelli is definitely not the worst GM in history, are you joking? Waddell was the GM for the Thrashers from their inception in 1998 to 2010. He literally never won a playoff game.

I don't care

Only time I'll care about the Oilers, McDavid (or any other team/player) is if they make a move that affects my team

Pls sign with the Leafs

As a hockey fan it does suck, we missed out on seeing a potential dynasty. NHL is probably better off though, wouldn't be as interesting if the Oilers were Golden Stating it to the finals every year.

Dear Connor McDavid-

The hockey world cries in sympathy with you.
We feel for your tragic plight.
Stay strong.

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.

Oh, didn't realize the Devils traded Mcdavid to Edmonton along with Larsson. It's the only way your analysis makes any sense.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

I dunno. Milbury was pretty damn awful

 

[BiggBird]

No I have enjoyed his managment of this team and can thank him for setting back the Oilers another few years with Mcjesus.

 

[JerseyMike34]

One of these is not like the other.

Since joining the league in 2010-11, Jordan Eberle has 458 PTS in 623 Games Played.
He sits 31st in the NHL for points since that season. Ahead of Jeff Skinner, Ryan O'Reilly, James Neal.

He's one point behind Matt Duchene in that same time period.

He's got a higher PPG than Gabriel Landeskog, Jeff Carter and Rick Nash.

 

[nbwingsfan]

One of these is not like the other.

25 goals/60pts or the 2 goals and 20pts from Lucic?

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

who does mcd hate?

Same question? Anyone?

 

[PeterForsberg]

Oilers need to see a decrease in profit to make a change.

McDavid is selling seats and the owners are okay with that.

 

[CanuckGame39]

As a Canucks fan, I'm enjoying the show.

 

[Plub]

Yes, yes you are. Why would a fan of any other team want another team to do better. Stay shitty Oilers, it's fine with me and entertaining.

 

[Kybb79]

Flames fans like myself are enjoying every minute of it.

 

[NHL2004ISDABOMB]

yes im pissed too, on any other decent team with an NHL caliber winger or two and a decent puck moving defenseman McDavid would have murdered this league with 135+ points. But noooo Chia surrounds him with minor league wingers like Rattie, Cagguila, Yamamato, puljujarvi, Chiasson, Lucic, etc. and a bunch of useless Dmen who cant get the puck out of their zone to save their lives.

Yet he is still in the race for another art ross competing with a trio of elite forwards in Mackinnon Rantanen and Landeskog and Kucherov on a stacked team with Stamkos, Hedman, Mcdonah, Point, Johnson Palat etc

 

[Mathew Barzal]

Not pissed off. Just sad.

Wasting a generational players career.

 

[HisIceness]

Not really. My team has their own problems, and many of them.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Could you elaborate?

They acted like the worst bunch of jackasses during that year. Worst than Leafs fans before they ate a slice of humble pie and missed the playoffs again.

 

[Coffey]

Same question? Anyone?

Oilers traded for Manning who broke Connors collarbone in a hit during his rookie season.

It’s been confirmed that Connor told Chia he had his blessing though. So it’s just shit talk.

 

[FerklundCGY]

Nah. 80% of the Oilers fan base deserves this.

Calgary loves Chiarelli and that's what matters

 

[Bowski]

This should hopefully be his last year as Oilers GM. Similar to Craig Patrick drafting Crosby/Malkin and doing not much else with the team but acquiring ancient garbage (LeClair/Pálffy) to surround them. Just need some new blood to get the franchise moving forward with smart trades, even if it takes a few years longer.

P.S.: Pálffy was actually pretty good, just a quitter.

 

[Nick Hansen]

McShaveit is on his way to becoming another (slightly better) Dionne.

 

[Taluss]

I’m busy being annoyed with my teams owner/gm to feel sympathy for this. For now at least

 

[sexydonut]

As a child I witnessed my beloved Canucks continually abused by Gretzky and his band of supermen.

Now I am witnessing the world's dumbest GM surround the world's best player with scrubs. I should feel glee. Instead I feel bad for McDavid, and bad for their fanbase. But I can't turn away. It's like watching a car wreck.

Imagine if the Canucks had Bure/Naslund/the Sedins paired with AHL material. Yet it's occurring in Edmonton, with no end in sight.

Maybe because leaf and oilers have been crapped on for an eternity. You all created the monster.
