I don't think these are comparable at all, I doubt many people think Lowe is directly involved in trades anymore. Edm's management, drafting, scouting, development and recently coaching have been incompetent for years. Lowe either hired every one of them, hired the person that hired them or failed to replace them. To summarize, Lowe is responsible for the state of the Oilers even though he hasn't been GM for years.
