You joke.... but he has everything that the Oilers are looking for in a GM.
1) Name Recognition - this is very important to them
2) Connection to the media - so good stories can be written and told about Lowe and Nicholson and what a great hire and decisions they made
3) Another guy who wants the Oilers to be on top - leading the league in highest paid player, and overpaying for everyone else. I mean, a five million dollar player is better than a four million dollar one - even if it's the same guy, everyone knows that and so too does McGuire.
4) A guy with little to no experience in the job, so Lowe and MacT can guide and train him as they see fit.
5) A guy that they can later blame for all the problems when things don't turn out they way they all thought.
