I for one would want neither, but winning a Stanley Cup does not make Chia > Lowe.

Just think for a second. The Bruins could have Tyler Seguin, Dougie Hamilton, and Johnny Boychuk on their roster next season, but because of Chiarelli they've got Loui Eriksson, Adam McQuaid, and Dennis Seidenberg.
You have just explained why Chia < Stan Bowman. However, Bowman is arguably the best GM in the league at keeping a core (most of which he didn't build either) together in spite of the difficult cap constraints championship teams get into in today's NHL. Thank goodness Bowman wasn't looking for a job this offseason!
