The least likeable organization in the NHL doubles down once again. Controversy aside I don't even know if he's that good of a GM.

"Basket of deplorables"

What a great definition of that franchise. Perhaps that's the next E = NG title?

Typical hire for a scumbag organization. Does anyone have any morals in that ####show organization. Whatever lowlife they can bring on board, they do.

Morals don't win the Stanley Cup.


Neither do the Oilers.

I like it ! Once your pot committed to be unlikeable push all your chips in ! What’s going to happen ? Still be unlikeable

However , is he even a good GM ?

Meh.

He won a cup as GM but he never assembled that team. And when he needed to replace the parts, he was horrible.

Another failure headed to Edmonton.

It just screams of desperation. We will do anything to win, including turning a blind eye to our own self-respect, over and over again.

I really want this moment to be that point in time that people look back on and say "that was the beginning of the end, and everything went downhill from there"

If I'm not mistaken, there was an Oilers fan or two on here that said they would renounce their fandom if Bowman was selected.
