I also think they need to have a guy in the Pres of Hockey Ops job and another guy in the GM's chair. I do not want the jobs combined like Chia had. It sure sounds like Chia made a lot of decisions on his own. He probably got input from others but if he wanted the move, it happened no matter what. Example is the Strome trade. It doesn't sound like many wanted it to happen. Apparently McLellan and his staff definitely didn't want it to happen but he made the move anyway. Maybe if they have a sober second thought guy rather than one guy with all the power, some of the stupid moves might not have happened.

Do you think there's any chance that the best guy has the last name "Gretzky"?
|
I don't have a clue. I don't know enough about him. The majority of his experience comes from outside the Oilers and his body of work with the Oilers is pretty limited. I also do not know what his actual involvement has actually been when Chia was here. According to Stauffer, he is making it sound like Chia was the guy making all the calls and basically made all the decisions on his own even if others disagreed. Whether that is completely true or not, I am not 100% sure. If Gretzky was side by side with Chia, slapping him on the back saying what a great idea all his screw ups were, then absolutely he can't be it. IF it was like what Stauffer is saying and he would give Chia his 2 cents, going against what Chia said and all that happened is Chia thanked him for his opinion, then just did the opposite, that's a different story. I just look at the moves that Gretzky has made right after Chia was let go and every one of them was directly against a CHia move.
- Spooner, Chia's guy, a guy that supposedly not a lot on the team wanted, got waived immediately and then traded shortly after. I don't think that move gets made if Chia is here. If GRetzky was right there with CHia on that move, I have my doubts me makes it either because it would make him look bad.
- Manning, another CHia move gets waived pretty quickly after Chia is gone. I am not sure it happens if Chia is here and I don't know it happens if Gretzky was a guy that wanted him.
- Talbot trade. I think Talbot gets traded if Chia was here. You had to make the move to get something for a guy that was leaving. I didn't mind the trade. I didn't think Talbot was worth much. But if you are trading a goalie, you needed another one coming back to be the back up. If Chia was here, I thought they would either get some crap pick which in turn they would have to flip to another team to get a back up. Or they would have to retain salary or they are bringing back a guy like Elliott. All dumb moves in my books. Instead they got Stolarz straight up. I have no clue if Stolarz is anything worth keeping but I like the fact he is a young, big goalie with some experience though limited that you can have a look at and make a decision on. I like that better than getting an Elliott that you know it lousy and have no future with you or getting some low end draft pick that is 6+ yrs away from maybe being anything.
So with all the moves that Gretzky has made, to me they are the opposite of what I think Chia would have done which makes me wonder just how much involvement Gretzky had.
At the end of the day, like I said, I really do not care what the guys last name is. All I want is the best, most capable guy no matter who that is. I want to them to talk to every guy they can, get all kinds of opinions they can from others on candidates, leave no stone unturned. They HAVE TOO get this right. I just do not want the guys last night no matter who that is to be a reason they don't hire a guy because they are so worried about optics. Get the right guy!!
