Well, It's true.

I got the green light from the CPHL Head Office tonight. I have been hired on as the new GM of the Edmonton Oilers. While that will take a little time to get used to, the team was left by icarus in great shape.

I'm not quite set on what I will be doing with the roster heading into the new season, but one thing is for sure, I'm hunting for a championship, something that has eluded both myself, and the Edmonton Oilers since day one of the CPHL.

I'd like to thank the Head Office for getting me back into the league, especially Grant, whom I'm sure got sick of hearing me ask if there was any room on a daily basis.

I'm back, and read to go. Bring it on people!

Congratulations Protto. I know how dirty you feel running the Oil, but hey, a team's a team

Flickered Flame · 06-23-2008, 08:37 PM

Good for you Rob! Run that team into the ground! Now some one else step down please

I wanna be like Miikka · 06-23-2008, 08:40 PM

Brutal.

Slava · 06-23-2008, 08:41 PM

I can only assume and hope that Iginla will be moved to exorcise the demons!

icarus · 06-23-2008, 08:50 PM

Best of luck to the new GM! Just remember: it is much harder to assemble a team like that than it is to dismantle it!

Congrats Jamieson and welcome back to the league.

I say we make him pass a test before he can trade and then put him on probation for two weeks.

RT14 · 06-23-2008, 09:06 PM

Congrats on getting back into it and inheriting a great team Protto! You realize what this means though...Sharks and Oilers will have a large number of trades in the near future!

Welcome back! Do the right thing - trade Iggy to the Flames.

Just a joke from the other thread I thought I'd throw back at him.

OILFAN #81 · 06-23-2008, 09:46 PM

I thought this was going to be about a broken lawnmower.

HA HA HA HA HA... I actually fixed it and got the lawns done, otherwise I would have been sitting at the computer hitting refresh all day...

looooob · 06-23-2008, 10:19 PM

welcome back. the Sabres are stocked with greasy former and current Oilers for your perusal.

Perhaps it wouldn't have been so poorly kept if a certain newbie Gm hadn't gone around town blabbing about it all day!

Well back Rob. Hopefully, the CPHL will keep you busy enough that you stop posting crazy stuff in the main forum.

Newbie? I was a CPHL GM when you were just a twinkle in your mama's eye!

Prototype · 06-23-2008, 11:10 PM

I think he was talking about me... but I never said I officially had the team. People were congratulating me on being back before I had received any kind of confirmation from HO. I talked to a few GMs, and may have gotten a little excited...

Welcome to the league, I hope you are better than the Bozo who ran Quebec out of town.
