Top GM Replacements

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'll be sick to my stomach if Chiarelli gets fired and we see one of MacT/Lowe/Howson take over for the rest of the year.

Chiarelli needs to go.

But that might be the breaking point for me.

I think the Oilers OBC knows that is true about a lot of fans. So they'll lowkey slide Keith Gretzky in as acting GM for the rest of the year.

That's likely to be the case sadly. They won't fire more than just Chiarelli.

Just get anyone from Tampa Bay organisations... heck even the coffee guy would do.

Jay Feaster!

 

[rboomercat90]

Who would want this job? How big of a shovel would they need to dig this organization out of the dirt?

Obviously McDavid is enticing but... this is not going to be an easy job.

Don’t know why but your post reminded me of the picture of Katz not knowing how a shovel worked when they broke ground on the arena. So fitting.

I would prob cry tears of joy if the OBC were somehow completely removed from this franchise. I'm not expecting it to happen. Not now, not in summer.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Pick one, preferably one that played with them from 1984 to 1990.

Andy Moog.

Or Dr. Gregg. This team needs a heart transplant.

 

[snipes]

I’d say Shawn Horcoff, Steve Staios or Jason Smith.

What is Todd Marchant up to these days?

Must have accidentally squirted some grapefruit juice in his eye, like George Costanza.

That’s a fantastic question.. he could be just the man for the job.

Ticks a lot of the boxes. Local hero, meat and potatoes kind of guy, and has a legendary moment to hang his hat on.

Move forward from the 80s OBC to the mid 90s OBC?

Shudders.

 

[Tyrolean]

Calgary's current GM.

I think Mark Hunter would be my choice after Yzerman as well.

HFoil cant even agree on what colour the fking sky is....

No, but we can all agree that it's falling.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

The Winnipeg Jets assistant GM that makes all the good draft picks

Nothing about Hunter's tenure with the Leafs, where he seemed to be largely in charge of their draft, makes me encouraged about him as a GM.

 

[Soundwave]

The Winnipeg Jets assistant GM that makes all the good draft picks

Get him in for an interview for sure.

Mark Hunter, Ron Hextall should be given an interview also.

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Jurgen Klopp

 

[McJadeddog]

maybe have an interview process.

Hilarious. You KNOW they won't do that.
