Speculation: Poll: Who would be your choice for new GM of the Oilers?

[McNuge]

Disappointing that Jack Eichel wasn't an option

 

[PBandJ]

Won't matter. The players won't show up and the poor sucker will take the fall.

 

[redgrant]

I think Fenton or briesbois would be the best option. However neither of them seem plausible until offseason.

As a result next week we need Chia fired and maybe Nicholson or even Lowe to step in until seasons end.

Oh goody Lowe
Because isn’t a big enough circus already l..but it’s totally something Katz would do

I don't like Lowe either but we have to stop the hemorrhaging. Fenton or briesbois arnt coming over tomorrow. If they do it will be off season. Nashville and Tampa are going on up runs and arnt going to give permission to talk to their AGMs mid season.

Who stops the chairelli hemmoraging who also has no interest in being a full time gm next year?

Well that would be chancellor Lowe.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Lombardi is who I think they hire, Fenton would be my choice.

Lowe trading multiple assets for Jagr confirmed.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Lowe trading multiple assets for Jagr confirmed.

Lowe probably promotes Scott Howson to GM...I'm serious
the guy only knows how to hire friends and has the backing of Katz 100% on that

Some people might not want to hear this, but I suspect any new leadership will mean greater involvement for the Gretzky bros.

 

[Aerrol]

Count me in for Fenton, then Brisebrois too. Focus on drafting and development!

 

[tv14]

1) No Oiler ties.
2) No Oil Kings' ties.
3) No bffs of current front office staff.

Please.

I'm a bit skeptical that Chiarelli is in the hot seat.

McLellan though I think is, his decisions have been a bit sketchy this year.

 

[Aerrol]

Lol what, people voting for Feaster, Gillis and Nonis?! Really?!?

 

[longtimeoilfan]

I voted Fenton... I would like to see what some of these guys could do with a team that spends to the cap - or, is at least willing to.

Flames and Nuck fans?

 

[MinimaMoralia]

I've got alllllllllllll sorts of time for Futa.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Don’t know enough about Fenton but he is supposed to be one of the up and comers. So he would be good as any and comes from a first class organization.

If I wanted an experienced GM it would be Lombardi.

That said I doubt Chiarelli is going anywhere until the end of his 4th year at the earliest.

 

[rboomercat90]

None of this matters if the goofball owner insists on hanging onto Fric and Frac.

Nope, and the elephant never leaves the room.

 

[thadd]

Which of these guys has a history of drafting well, not overspending on free agency and not known to often give away the shirt on his back on trades?

 

[Brian McDavid]

Have to go with the guy coming through Nashville. The best managed team in the league for quite some time. Fenton is the guy.

 

[Paperbagofglory]

I pick another option, an advanced computer algorithm programmed to learn and adapt to trades, cap space, corsi, etc. No more failure puppet GM's. Hey if a computer program can beat the best chess masters, it can also facilitate trades and signings. Lets go modern.

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Lombardi or fenton wont have it quite so easy up in feedersville better they take a job in a market with no appetite for hockey that has to be handled with kid glovea by the officials, players and other gms.
