Leaving aside the obvious reasons why he should not be back in the league, Bowman is simply not a great GM. Holland at least seemed to be making some reasonable moves that did improve their team. He's not the greatest GM but at least he tended to move the needle forward for the Oilers on the whole. Bowman was very confusing at the end of his tenure with Chicago and the start of his tenure with the Oilers has a lot of the same issues.
Why on earth trade Ceci if you are not going to match the off-sheets and then proceed to see if you can get a right-shot defenceman?
