Looks like Kevin Lowe is in charge of some entertainment position.
Damn, I knew Bob Nicholson was a good hire for the Edmonton Oilers. He is the only smart one in that organization and having said that, he did not hesitate to get rid of the organization of all the ex-Oiler players from management. I think Chiarelli is the best person for the job for this Mickey Mouse organization. They won't be the laughing stock of the NHL. If Chiarelli find the right coach, starting goaltender and add a couple or 3 top 6 defensemen, they'll be competitive. I believe Chiarelli will dangle one or two of Taylor Hall, Nail Yakupov or Jordan Eberle to get the players they needed. It will not happen in the first year but I think they are really going to have a rebuild starting this season. No more arrogant Hockey Ops and GM mentality. I got the feeling Oilers might go after McLellan, maybe Julien if he gets fired in Boston and my long shot is Brent Sutter.
As a Flame fan, I do not like this move. I was hoping for the 2 clowns to stay as long as they can.
