Lets see Chia drove the Bruins into the ground and cap hell.

He's just following his instincts in Edmonton.

For a little over 10.5 million he signed long term deals with a questionable top pairing and more like a solid middle pairing guy in Sekeras, He signed a bottom pairing young defenseman who might be ok down the road but is also a bungle machine to a long term more then he's worth contract.

The Flames bought in and signed Dougie Hamilton a top pairing capable young defenseman, and resigned a young top pairing capable defenseman for a combined million dollars less.

We're just spoiled by competency.

Its lucky that Chia stumbled into the savior in McCorkscrew, because without that draft pick, he didn't have the summer that the Oilers needed.
