In Oilerville he wasn't the problem, it is the owners there who make the decisions, the GM title is just somebody to point fingers at for when they fu*k up royally. Seguin for LE, Smith and a couple of rolls of tape ring a bell? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowe has been effectively controlling that franchise for over a decade and with Katz battling for his life he has given Lowe complete control of hockey ops outside of the presidential and general manager position. Everything flows through him. I cannot entirely say that Chia pet was the issue in edmonton nor will I give him any credit for what he did because the team was bloody awful. But a lot of very intelligent hockey minds have gone through Edmonton over the last decade with zero success in the last near 15 years. If he was to be brought in as any kind of advisor without any actual power, that's fine. But keep him away from drafting, trades and any signings You don't have to. His atrocious trades spoke for themselves. Pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragon23 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Heeeelllllll NO!!!! I hope this is just media mumbo jumbo. After the fiasco of the dumpster fire Oilers I don’t want this man near my Canucks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to discount anything else I said though. Or ignore the other genuinely brilliant hockey personalities that have failed there. No GM with the Oilers has any say, Katz has given Lowe Carte Blanche and everything moves through him. Has for over a decade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO worries, someone else had posted that and I looked and it's shocking how many people have failed there. But EVERYONE who has left the organization (not named Yakupov) has gone to do some solid things. I feel bad for Nicholson because he's the next victim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon man, he was brutal in Edmonton. A great oppurtunity with all the pieces to put in place to do great things and he did the direct opposite. They may not recover from this for years! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whaleroad Train Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 If Chiarelli is coming to the Canucks - that confirms we are going to be tanking for the next three seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
