But who are we kidding? MacT will remain, it's the only constant in life other that death and taxes.
I like your positive outlook.But who are we kidding? MacT will remain, it's the only constant in life other that death and taxes.
the narrative being what exactly? the OBC still has influence? so the fact MacT and Howson aren't fired is prove enough? what about the astute hiring of Paul Coffey?I call it conspiracy theorist b/c people are so hell bent on 1 narrative that even the truth is ignored to maintain support of that narrative
Stauffer and said many times the Oilers have a "unique" management structure as wellYet when, Bobby Nick, and the most knowledgeable insider, Stauffer, come out and tell everyone that this rather common practice was indeed the case here also...it is discredited as lying, dishonest, schill,
we all thought the Chiarelli hiring would be different, and the OBC would be fired...even for "optics" sakeLest we forget that it this was a well accepted truth when Chia was hired. Oh how the short memories coincidentally fade. Now, years later, when things did not go to plan, that narrative has all but been ignored for the sake of a new one
So ya, calling it a conspiracy theory is actually very fitting
And the comical irony of it all is the OBC didn't meddle in Chia's case, but moving forward, they likely will be able to as per Bob saying full autonomy will no longer be cart blanche. So many people's worst case nightmares will come to be reality, and hopefully, the team w/ the new GM will turn it around. Oh what a bittersweet irony that would be

Nicholson stated that it was going to be an intense search. No timeline was given. Now it seems they want to have their man by May 1st. And apparently have not interviewed Mccrimmon, who was originally the lead candidate. This smells bad again, typical Oilers move.
Hunter might not be a bad option. I assume he is in the lead for the position hence why they said oilers looking to make hire on or before may 1st .
It's funny everyone saying not interested in hunter .He was suppose to be the second coming of christ while he was with the leafs but since they hired dumbass now hunter is trash?
Come on people
I've read they want to have a GM by May 1st. I hope not, they haven't even interviewed McCrimmon yet. I am not really sold on Hunter and there are similarities in experience with K. Gretzky, and I am still leaning towards Gretzky because of his familiarity with the players already in our system.
But at least get a McCrimmon interview in before they make a decision.
Probably the other way around. Hunter is the GM and KG is assistant/director of amateur scouting.Just a random thought maybe but maybe we are looking to fill the Assist Gm position. with Kieth in mind does hunter slot in behind him?

Shouldn’t the new GM get to pick his own staff?
True, buts it’s a little late in the game to overhaul the amateur scouting division, with the draft in ~2 months. It’s the pro scouting that should be fired...
Last time we trusted Leafs Nation on the lastest and greatest forward thinking personnel, we ended up with Dallas Eakins.Hunter might not be a bad option. I assume he is in the lead for the position hence why they said oilers looking to make hire on or before may 1st .

I think they chose the right direction by getting rid of Hunter completely. He hasn’t done one thing great in the NHLHire hunter. The leafs were on the right path when they chose nerd boy over him .
Barry Allen?Hire hunter. The leafs were on the right path when they chose nerd boy over him .
