Lol Ken Holland must have loved the Stan Bowman hiring.
Somehow fans in Edmonton are blaming the guy who arrived at the scene of the tire fire when it was already ablaze while ignoring the guy who started it and watched it burn for the last 5 years.
Holland inherited 97 and 29 in their primes on absolute bargain contracts and 2 on entry level. He signed Nurse to the worst contract in NHL history that hamstrung the team. Signed Cambell, Athenaseau trade etc etc. He made 1 good move in 5 years - the 14 acquisition that he stumbled into after failing to land Chychrun.
And to top it off, on his way out the door he colude...I mean golfed with a rival GM to hand over 2 of the teams best young players.
Granted part of that is on Jackson for not firing his ass once it became clear he wasn't going to be re-signed instead of letting him sabotage the team on the way out. Maybe he didn't have the go ahead from greasy old Katz who knows.
With a competent GM we would be talking about multiple cups at this point not looking for the first.
But yeah Stan Bowman is the problem
