Details to come but there's expected to be significant change on both business/hockey operations in EDM. "Time for change" is today's theme.

I think this is the answer to how "Lowe" they can go.

Jason Gregor says LaForge is moving on. I honestly have no idea what these guys do anymore. Some clarity on it all will be nice when today is over.

I can't help but feel as though we played a part in this. Is it narcissistic to think that CP was instrumental in focusing so much ridicule on the disaster up North that it accelerated this change?

Chiarelli's first move: MacTavish head coach, Kevin Lowe demoted to GM. Make it happen!

Hopefully MacTavish and Lowe takeover the Canucks hockey operations.

Maybe a little. They became such a laughing stock that winning McDavid, which should have been a great moment for the franchise, was simply a chance for pretty much everyone to pile on how crappy they are. I think the Flames on ice play probably has more to do with it though.

Smart move by the Oilers. They will probably change the GM too.
