Default Jackets hire Scott Howson as GM

Will be on TSN.ca soon.

I'm not sure there's compensation anymore for hiring front office guys from another team.

Good for Scott! I met him alot as he came to our U of A class when I was still in school so many times (our negotiations class) and he was a great person. Good to see him get rewarded with the GM spot in Columbus.

Not really sure how this hurts the Oilers. I guess it can't be that bad...

A pretty behind the scenes guy in a lot of ways I think, so not a huge profile. Might be a tough situation to walk into, but I suppose you need to cut your teeth somewhere.

Probably someone who would have taken Lowe's spot?

Good for him though...always nice to see people progress.

Good move for Scott, bad one for the Oilers.

One of many who is too boring; thinks that there should be rules regarding grammar in custom user titles, and also makes moderators wonder if there is a charachter limit here. I mean come on- you would think that would be a limitation in the software

Once again news of the Flames over-shadows news of the Oilers. Too funny!

Good for Howson, but geez Columbus was picking from the GM bargain bin to hire a guy like him. Looks like the owner wants a little more control of things, after he handed full control to McLean, and that we know how that turned out. I wonder if the puppet strings are clearly visible.

Not if he's serious when he says he wants to win now. I also don't believe he'll be back in Edmonton or showing up in these parts either. If I had to guess I'd say Detroit or Anaheim but I've got no crystal ball.....

Good move by Howson - he gets to leave the Trailerpark and goes to a more winning team
