We know Gillis is and Gretzky but Nicholson said he was surprised at how little resistance he has gotten from teams to get permission. So maybe some good candidates that he thought was a shot in the dark were made available.

I sure hope that the Oilers keep their damn mouths shut about who's on the interview list. There's absolutely no benefit to telling everyone who you're interviewing, and it only sets up situations where there's people who are identified losers in the race.
Is it interesting to know? Of course. But it's not a need-to-know item for fans. This team needs to better understand what to share and what not to share.
Also, anyone who leaks anything should be fired. *COUGH COUGH KEVIN LOWE COUGH*
|
And yet they throw a 30 minute Q&A, and get absolutely roasted on the forums and social media, both for what they say, and more notably for what they don’t say. People are really dumb. I mean the Oilers brass are dumb too, of course. I’m not defending them the least bit. But separate from all that, it’s funny reading all the mockery and fake outrage from people... people are just piling on. I really don’t know what fans are expecting them to say, or perhaps what they think they should say.
|
I can't speak for everyone, but I want them to keep their mouths shut, quit giving meaningless lip service, and start taking meaningful action.
Show me, Oilers. I'll only believe what I see.
|
My only real complaint is that I feel like all it was was a Keith Gretzky audition, and another chance for Bob and the OBC to be so impressed by how well Keith handles himself. That's really all this presser seemed to be.
Bob as well always falls back on cliches, and starts tossing around word salad to sound like he's clueless about stuff. The more I hear him talk, the less confident I am that he will do the right thing on the GM hire.
That's basically it for this conference. Keith being there to talk about how he wants to be GM right next to Bob talking about the process of hiring the GM was lame, and Bob added to the clueless factor I have in my head for him.
|
Oilers management are so transparent, this is obviously just a show and dance to the fans to say they went through an exhaustive process. But in the end name Keith Gretzky.
If Chia was acting all alone, then as a knee jerk reaction the wise guys are going to bring in someone they already know and trust and are confident that they can influence. At this point they are afraid of getting burnt again, so they are going to pick a comfortable (for them) option.
The reality is Nicholson, Lowe, MacT, Howson ain't going anywhere. Bad news: they will be with the Oilers until they decide to retire. And they are going to find the candidate that those people are most comfortable with.
Illegitimi non carborundum.
