I dunno. He conned the City of Edmonton into giving him a free arena and a big swath of suddenly valuable downtown real estate. And people keep on buying tickets to watch his worthless team. Seems pretty ept to me.

Right, is goal is to make money, and he's doing it. Now, he's lucky that he has rubes to fleece, but that's not his fault.

Compare to, say, Ottawa.

These must be the stupid trades that Chia is making so that other GMs will think they're not going to get fleeced in the future.

Another hilarious footnote on the day. The Oilers surrendered a draft pick to the Bruins as compensation for signing Chiarelli. The Bruins selected with that pick...Jack Studnicka who is looking good playing for Canada at the WJC.

Wait....did the Oilers seriously just take on salary for equally bad or worse players?

Wow. And here I thought Christmas was over.

Ladies and Gentlemen, your Edmonton Oilers, the Gift that keeps on giving.

Only Chia could trade two players like those and still lose.

They are building something special up there!

But seriously, how long before someone tosses their Oilers jersey on the ice. I feel it coming.
