Chia just got fired per Rishaug
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.
You understood the Spooner trade??!!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.
The "warm body" will have to do some work at the TDL. I'm most confident in 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
Colby Cave was signed by Chiarelli and the Bruins on April 3rd, 2015 as an undrafted player.
Chiarelli fired April 15th, 2015, 12 days later
Colby Cave is claimed on waivers by Edmonton on Jan 15, 2019
Chiarelli to be fired Jan 22-24, 2019
Colby Cave is the Chia killer.
I'm surprisingly indifferent to this firing. Yes, Chia had alot of f*ck ups, and his successes were mediocre at best. I just don't see this organization finding a competent replacement. Chia was the guy with experience, with connections, with the plan that he executed (it was a ****ty plan though to get bigger and heavier), and now I'm guessing we'll get Tambellini 2.0 and the embarrassment continues.

Out as both. Was worried they'd keep him on as POHO.
Well look at it this way ... the Islanders kept winning just enough (playoffs every other year) to keep Garth Snow employed and basically wasted all of Tavares' time there.
At least we have a shot to write a different story.
It could be plausible if Winnipeg didn't existWe had a chance to write a different story when MacT was fired. When KLowe was fired. When Tambellini was fired. Seems we keep writing the same damn story. My theory on Edmonton the City being the problem still stands.

Detroit and Winnipeg aren't paradises.Don't buy that theory at all.

There are 31 NHL general manager jobs in the world. The Oilers aren't getting denied because of the city. They aren't even asking qualified candidates because the owner is in love with his heroes from the 80s.
