John Shannon says the Oilers are in the third phase of their GM search. Bob Nicholson will ask other managers/senior executives at the GM meetings who the most eligible candidates are. I don't get why other teams would help the Oilers?
This org is so clueless. They have no idea what they're looking for. And they expect the rest of the league to help them out? This is probably the same way Nicholson collected his team Canada management groups.
|
This can’t be true.
If so, MacT and Lowe are snickering and fist pumping each other on second layer of meat shield they now have in Grampa Bobby.
|
Guess this org is no stranger to looking for affirmation from other orgs. I remember MacT bragging back in 2013 about how other GM's told him the Oilers were on the right track and had a bright future.
So, who are other GM's gonna tell us the best guy is? Just that great guy Keith?
|
Well coke bottles confirmed it between periods.
Most GM’s are going to say they had the right guy in place, but fired him.
|
Going on about how much they like MacT and how much they enjoyed working with him would be very smart.
|
“Here’s Milbury contact info.”
“That’s okay. Got it a few times today already.”
|
Honestly, it explains an awful lot if the Oilers management actually believes the other teams are just going to help them to get better. They must feel just completely betrayed every time they make a deal and it goes horribly wrong because the other GM just took them to the woodshed mercilessly.
Maybe the generosity that Sather showed the team a few times (Nedved, Leetch bonus pick, Talbot) made the brass actually believe that this was all just this great community of really nice guys working together to make everyone better in their own turn...There's all the first overall picks - maybe they thought the league wanted them to do well? Even the Pronger trade apparently came about when the agent mentioned to Lowe that he thought St. Louis was in sell mode. These guys get a couple helping hands and suddenly they turn in to Hockey's Welfare Recipients just waiting for their next handout!
And now, through this lens, picture some of those moments in Oilers history:
- "I'm so sorry MacT, I'd love to help you out here but it's just the cyclical nature of the game. It's your turn to give right now, but we'll help you out down the road. So where were we - a 3rd and a 5th for Hemsky sound about right?"
- "Tambo! Great to hear from you...your guys ARE doing great this year. But it's not really your time yet so I can't really help you out. Unless that is, you want Smithson..."
- "Oh Pete, you already got McDavid in the draft. You don't really think we're allowed to give you MORE than just Larsson for Hall, do you?"
It's mind-bogglingly stupid to go asking your competitors what is the best thing for your organization. They aren't going to be helpful, and you're just making yourself a laughingstock. If you were going to make those inquiries, if for example, there was a Sather out there who you saw as a mentor and who may still be willing to give you a little guidance - why would you let it publicly be known, more than once, that you're asking other teams for help.
FFS...do you think this is what they do when they need an offensive defenceman too? "Hey, Lombardi, Bowman - you guys have been pretty successful lately...who do you think we should go get for a right shot d-man? Rishaug keeps telling me we really need one. And do you think we should overpay for that?"
Man, this team just makes me angry.
|
You need to take a break from the team and probably hockey in general, you seem to get way to worked up over a game.
|
Man, imagine somebody was sick of losing in like 2014 and they did take a break. Like 5 years. And then came back this point...
|
This is the thing. I don’t think anyone here needs to apologize for being critical of something they enjoy following closely.
I get a kick out of people that take a passing interest in the game or team who relish on coming off as people so in control of their emotions and beliefs. Gimme a break. They just don’t care as much. One is no better than the other.
