Lowe is horrible and definitely should go, but I don't think this hire has anything to do with a possible replacement. Messier doesn't have any management experience yet, even the Oilers aren't dumb enough to throw him into a GM or President job right off the bat. Secondly, Lowe's proven he's bulletproof. The Teflon man. Katz is keeping him there out of blind loyalty and possibly even hero worship.
No, Messier will be screwing up another part of the organization. Miiiiight be coach, the Oilers would be dumb enough to do that. Though, I don't see that just yet.
