In Calgary, Brian Burke let Feaster continue to operate as General Manager while he conducted his organizational review, until of course Feaster started to look at making trades of some of Calgary's valuable assets. He was quickly turfed and Burke took over as Interim GM.

Do the oilers learn their lesson and replace MacT and Lowe immediately, or do they wait until MacT/Lowe bungle another significant move for the oilers (such as sign someone to a big money deal etc)?

I hope they let MacT sign some guys and make some trades before showing him the door.

Maybe a late 1st and a couple of warm bodies for some of their star players?
I think Mac T will be fired by the beginning of next season, but not right away. They'll give him a couple of months to screw up even more before giving him the boot. I don't know too much about Nicholson, but he seems to be very respected in hockey internationally, and I doubt that he is content with the ol' boys club management circus that they have in place.

This is probably the beginning of a very short ending for K Lowe and Mac T.
