They should interview Hextall. Not saying he's the one but he deserves an interview.
Umm Hextall. He took the worst cap and worst dcore in the NHL, to the best cap situation and top 3 prospect pool in the NHL in 4 years...all without tanking
What are Edm's problems ATM? Defense and Cap. Management that doesn't want to tank?
I think Boston had a cap expert as well didn't stop Chia from telling him to shut up and do his own thing and being the GM of the AHL team is a big enough role to be a job title by its lonesome, you can get a different cap expert.

He botched the Tkachev signing a few weeks into his tenure here.No chance I want Bill Scott around to clean toilets. He is in charge of our cap. Have you seen our cap? He’s an idiot.
Do you really think an interview is a good idea?An actual GM search and interview process instead of handing the job to your buddy.
Sure looks like they’ve tanked this year with a team he built before getting fired.Umm Hextall. He took the worst cap and worst dcore in the NHL, to the best cap situation and top 3 prospect pool in the NHL in 4 years...all without tanking

No interview would mean another ex-Oiler they already know or someone from Hockey Canada that Nicholson previously knew (like what happened with Chiarelli).Do you really think an interview is a good idea?
I rather Nicholson not be able to find out in an interview that the new candidate is easily manipulated
At least with a blind hire there is a chance the new guy has balls
Go with experience especially now Lombardi is a decent builder.
Getting a young guy is not a magic bullet ask Arizona.No way. We were sold this bill of goods with Petey Boy.
No more GMs that are riding on past glory, emphasize size/grinding over skill, and can't manage a cap.
You have ****ing Connor McDavid. Build a damn skilled and get out of your own way.

The assumption being, the OBC aka 'Katz and his merry band of obseqiously fawning sycophants' will conduct a legitimate, genuine search for a capable GM instead of going with the very easy default choice of Keith Gretzky.Someone on main board suggested Al Murray from Tampa Bay. He has deep connections with Hockey Canada too so I assume Bob Nicholson knows him well.
Al Murray - Director of Amateur Scouting
He's been with Tampa since 2010.
The fans will riot. They must know this. It cannot be one of the OBC even if Kurri might actually be a good choice.Jari Kurri.
Has done really well in KHL.
