Until then, nothing will change. just don't see Aquilini doing that before trying a new coach. A new PHO/GM is a longer term hiring problem.

Why the eff is the President's chair empty & has been empty for several years now since Linden was essentially shown the door. None of this "acting President" crap. *THAT* has to be fixed first before anything else. That person will provide the overall long-term direction of the team. But if there's nobody really there, we'll be just like a person using a canoe for the first time equiped with only one oar. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So with right person maybe its ok, but not Jim, he's just too reactive in his decision making, not a lot of planning there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I am seeing signs of this team starting to come together. Probably too late for this season but after all the changes the last 2 seasons I can’t say I’m totally surprised. Thought we would be better but we still need to acquire a couple of pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NHL literally modified a rule because the Oilers drafted 1st OA four times and still weren’t showing much signs of improvement. As bad as this is, it’s still not even close to the depths the Oilers got to. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he reminds of JV (as well) with a different attitude; and it seems like, having a wife (at an early age) instead of drinking buddies made alot of difference for Podz (?). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
