Mctavish or howson or lowe in as gm will be such a typical Oilers move. I predict howson just for fun.

Noooooooooooooo! Really though it's not like Chiarelli has been making all his bad decisions in a vacuum. The guy they promote will be another voice in the room that is just as responsible for the team's current predicament.

Howson only because McTavish again looks optically bad. He will be President of Hockey Ops instead.
Both are being fitted for strings that Lowe pulls on, as we speak.

Happiest person about this move is likely Chiarelli

I've been fearing this for a while... Please don't let this happen as there's nothing positive about this for the Flames or Flames fans

Yeah it's probably got to the point he is hoping for the pink slip. It's probably comforting knowing that your time in hell is coming to a close.

Disagree. They'll just bring in the next incompetent yes-man in line. And on and on it goes.

Can't fire this wonderful man half way through a season. Give him more time. #masterplan

3 straight losses heading into the break give ownership and upper management next to no option at this point. My belief is a change will be made, likely in the next day or so.

They have sucked for over 12 years now. The next person coming in is another puppet for the media and Lowe.
They drafted the so called best player since Crosby and still suck. What you scared of? Hahaha

Yes because changing the gm is going to impact how the team plays.

Who the hell is going to take this job?
Cap hell, losing culture, living in Edmonton, no prospects, no depth, no good.

So either the Koskinen signing was so bad they finally realized it was time to move on... or this was a long time coming, and whoever has the reigns next was behind that signing.
I'm hoping for the latter.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that was the moment he found out his application to Subway was rejected, so he had to stay on as the Oilers' GM.
