Post-Game Talk: The Return of Son of Fire Chiarelli's Revenge: Electric Boogaloo: Back To The Minors: The Squeakquel

[iCanada]

The fact that ownership allowed him to do so many roster damaging moves in the final month of his tenure is such a depressing thought.

At least Chia got the proper send off by losing to a bad team on home ice

I mean, he shoulda had a proper send off after his "death by 1000 cuts" presser last year. Just like... Yikes. Then they let him lose another 10 trades.

If it's anyone already in the organization I'll be mad. Really mad.

I'm fine with Kieth Gretzky though.

Of course it's an interim GM from inside the organization. The position won't be filled till summer most likely

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I don't think it can be anyone else but someone from the OBC at this point in the season

It'll most likely be an in org guy as the interim GM as they look for one for the draft

Well...at least that's what good teams would do.

Of course it's an interim GM from inside the organization. The position won't be filled till summer most likely

I'm aware. I'm saying I'll be mad if it's anyone other than Kieth Gretzky.

So how the F***did he get the authority to sign Koskicash when he was on the bring of being fired this is a living nightmare...If Koskicash's contract haunts us FFS we have 3-4 yrs before we compete??

It’s management by committee around here that’s why.

 

[MikeGrier99]

There's a huge chance Keith Gretzky is the next GM. I'm ok with interim. Would be disappointed if he's the guy going forward.

 

[TB12]

With Lowe, MacTavish, Howson all very likely still here, I can’t even be positive about the Oil finally making this move at GM. Absolutely nothing is going to change.

 

[NegativeNelly]

MacT will be president of hockey ops, Howson will be GM. Book it.

Hasn’t there been rumours that Keith was responsible for the Spooner and Manning trades?

 

[Del Preston]

Hasn’t there been rumours that Keith was really into the Spooner and Manning trades?

Manning and Petrovic. Not sure about the Spooner one.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Manning and Petrovic. Not sure about the Spooner one.

I kind of doubt the rumor as Keith Gretzky tends to focus on amateur or foreign scouting. Not NHL scouting

 

[bobbythebrain]

I'm aware. I'm saying I'll be mad if it's anyone other than Kieth Gretzky.

If you are aware then who cares who it is? What does it matter what warm body occupies that position for 2 months?

Personally, I hope it's Lowe. He was a decent GM who made some sweet moves. Probably the best candidate to actually get some value at the TDL

 

[Soundwave]

Manning and Petrovic. Not sure about the Spooner one.

To be fair how much can you really expect for Caggiula + 3rd rounder.

Chia apparently has had a hard-on for Manning for a long time too, at least going back to last year.

 

[Jet Walters]

Let Brian Burke and Kevin Lowe duke it out in a barn. Winner gets the job. That's what I say.

 

[FlameChampion]

Manning and Petrovic. Not sure about the Spooner one.

Which is even worse. As bad as the Spooner trade was, I sort of understand it. I don’t think we can even trust Keith at this point.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Chia will never GM again in the NHL

We want him to GM again. We need him to trade for the players he signed and traded for this year.

 

[rboomercat90]

I know who the replacement is...

Honestly, I don’t think you’d be the worst choice. You’ll probably look even better after the actual replacement is named.

 

[djdub]

Man I really hope they hire Brian Burke. I laughed at Calgary when they brought him in, well look at where the org is now. The guys tells it as it is and is decisive. I'm of the opinion that's the kind of GM we need right now.

 

[bobbythebrain]

We want him to GM again. We need him to trade for the players he signed and traded for this year.

This. Every other fanbase wishes for this. Hopefully we can too

 

[FlameChampion]

Cagguila yeah but this team shouldn’t be pissing away third rounders.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Are the anti Chia crew still bad fans?

Is it just the long term anti Chia people that are bad fans?

Seems like there’s more now. Is almost everyone a bad fan now?

Are there even any pro Chia good fans left?

Where are the fan police when they’re needed?

 

[rboomercat90]

I assume his source is Rishaug.

 

[Fmrnuckfan95]

Chia just got fired per Rishaug

 

[Soundwave]

Cagguila yeah but this team shouldn’t be pissing away third rounders.

No disagreement there, but if the GM runs into your office and says "you gotta find me some D help and you can only spend a 3rd rounder" ... that's probably tough pickings.

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

Chiasson - McDavid - Draisaitl
Khaira - Nuge - Pulju (useless...as of now anyways)
Rieder (useless) - Athanasiou - Yama (useless)
Lucic (useless) - Brodziak (useless) - Kassian (useless)

Klefbom - Larsson
Nurse - Russell
Manning (useless) - Benning

I see a whole lot of useless.

You forgot Benning
