Yay! Wayne and Kevin are staying with the organization because they were great players and mean so so much to the city. The won't make decisions regarding the Oilers, but they WILL be utilized as a resource. Hooray. Kevin especially has done so so so very much to the organization over the last 20 years and how could and organization turn its back on THAT.

(I actually don't remind Wayne having the role of old timer / ambassador / drunk uncle.)

Tell me that's not what was being said at the Press Conference. I haven't been watching.

Kevin Lowe is the reason the Oilers are in this mess, cut ties with him. Seriously. They think the longer they keep him there the sooner we will forget. We will never forget.

That's exactly what was said. Well, not exactly, I didn't transcribe the comment, but it's the nuts and bolts of it.

This is one of my issues with "full autonomy". What it really means is: You can go ahead and make the decisions, but we're going to give you suggestions as we go, and if you don't make the decisions we'd make, we're going to undermine you all over the place, including possibly leaking damaging things like we did with Chia...

I wish these guys had just got the Habs treatment where they always have a seat in the arena, and they're just goodwill ambassador. Letting them have any kind of operational role was just the worst. Frankly, it tarnishes what they did for the team and the city in the past.

And honestly, I think the fact that we have guys from that dynasty at the helm of every anniversary and team event means that it's always dominated by guys from that era. We don't have the Doug Weight & Curtis Joseph Oilers represented at all in anything. Ryan Smyth is the only representative from the first 10 years of this century. You wonder if the team will ever really embrace anyone who came before McDavid in any alumni type event ever...

Or if we'll just have a slowly dwindling number of guys who played in the 80s continue to get all the spotlight forever.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
