Top GM Replacements

[McJadeddog]

Doesn't matter if the rest of the front office remains.

This is the only answer. As long as that OBC stays, things will never change.

 

[Joey Moss]

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.

Marner, Dermott..

It’s too early to tell how he did with the draft but those were hits.

Hilarious. You KNOW they won't do that.

They will. Nicholson will just walk to the office next to his, ask Kevin if he wants the job again and there's your interview process.

 

[redgrant]

They should NOT hire someone who has been fired or stepped down. Eg lombardi Burke etc.

Instead try to poach someone from a strong organization eg Winnipeg Pittsburgh etc.

 

[Paralyzer008]

I"m worried it'll be Dean Lombardi.

A lot of the good candidates from before are gone like Brisebois.

Steve Yzerman is obviously my top choice, but it won't happen.

I'd be down for Kelly McCrimmon.

 

[Morpheus]

I nominate that “The Warrior” dude for GM if anyone remembers him........

 

[ohheyhemsky]

A motherf***ing rag that has been shit on for forty years by the rat/human hybrids in Chernobyl. That's a better option than what we have now. Bring on literally anyone, from the rapping grandma to the skull of Ted Williams and we're in a better position than we are right now.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Yzerman

Mark Hunter as a plan B

If all else fails, HFOil will GM the Oilers by committee

We would have had Petrovic 4 years ago, and our current captain would be none other than Liam Reddox.

 

[FlameChampion]

I would prefer someone whos more patient and not prone to knee jerking moves. I hope they do an exhaustive interview process and do a cleanse. I don’t know who the right guy is but I like the idea of a Hextall or Francis. I watched Hextalls presser when he was fired and it made me respect him more. Guy didn’t give flyers alumni privileges and wasnt willing to sell assets for quick fixes because he felt the team wasn’t ready. As above poster mentioned, analyze whos makes Winnipegs drafting choices. Whoever that person is, has done a pretty great job.

 

[Edison]

I bet it's kurri. He is currently Jokerit gm, and he is old boy.

 

[LMFAO]

Alright guys who are Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and Nashville's assistant GM ?

 

[Paralyzer008]

Alright guys who are Tampa Bay, Winnipeg, Pittsburgh and Nashville's assistant GM ?

Tampa Bay already hired BriseBois in house, and Minnesota hired Fenton (who made a very questionable trade already)

Pittsburgh - Bill Guerin
Winnipeg - Craig Heisinger
Vegas - Kelly McCrimmon

Do we still have to give up a draft pick to get a team's fired GM, or did that end after Chia...?

 

[SteelerNation]

MacT will get rehired

 

[iCanada]

Whoever MacT runs into at the urinal

"Meet your Edmonton Oilers new GM, Roger's place's first broken bathroom wall tile!"

 

[bobbythebrain]

Todd from Leduc

You just beat the internet Rammer

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

I nominate that “The Warrior” dude for GM if anyone remembers him........

He always spoke about himself in third person it was so f***ing weird

THE WARRIOR THINKS etc etc

 

[Morpheus]

“Tee Double Yuh”

 

[oobga]

It will be an insider hire now. Chia proved to you all what a mistake it is for the OBC to hire outside the club.

 

[bobbythebrain]

If they want someone to really, and I mean truly clean up, Hextall is the man. Unfortunately most fans and management probably don't have the patience to see that through

 

[Del Preston]

That rule was abolished.

 

[potatochip]

MacT will get rehired

Imagine his job interview with Klowe.

KLown - " Well MacT, why should we hire u for this position?"

MacT -" I know a thing or two about winning"

KLown - "remind me, how many cups u won?
"
Klown/MacT fist bump and all their rings clang together.

Klown-" good enough for me!"

Klown tells Katz "we found our guy! Cancel the interviews with Hextall/Hunter and Yzerman"

 

[TB12]

Todd from Leduc

It’s for sure Ryan Smyth posting as Todd so he checks the OBC requirement

Hex did stick by his guy knowing that his team wasn't ready to contend.
Patience would be required to get out from several contracts. $72 million projected cap hit for next season with this current roster. Yikes!!! Kassian/Spooner/Manning come off after next season, which saves $7 million. Then see what to do about the $9.5 million in Russell/Sekeras for 20-21.

Only issue I had with his tenure in Philly was not moving Giroux. Drafted in 2006, so he was unlikely to have many prime years left to be a key part of a contending team.
