This entire thread is making get a lifetime subscription to Pepto.

Biggest blunder? Depends on the lens.

Fans? Biggest is Gretzky trade, without question. You just don't sell an asset like that.

Org? The probably think that acquiring any player that spoke up against the organization while playing for them needs to go. I point at Taylor Hall and David Perron.

Recently memory, bringing on a way past his prime Pat Quinn on the team (although I loved bringing in big irish), extremely poor quality GMs Steve Tabellini (mister twiddle thumbs), Craig MacTavish (Love Liam Reddox), Peter Chiarelli (Taylor 1 for 1). Bad coach after bad coach, Dallas Eakins anyone? OBC... the old boys club. --- eeeeyuck.

I really dislike Stan Bowman and I do not think he can lead the Oilers down the rose garden. Case in point, signing Frederic for 8 years. Why? He was the big get?? HIM??

[Extreme take alert] This entire organization rode McD and Draisaitl until the wheels fall off and if Connor leaves without any support to win, how can we as fans blame him? I'll tell ya one thing, fans simply will not come out for that shiny coin, the billion dollar franchise this is now, will be reduced to rubble or move.

[Less extreme take alert] If Connor does go.. We have Leon for 8 years, the future was brighter when he signed. With Connor it's not so much. It's like he's begging arms outreached, "look what's the plan? I can do what I can on the ice but it just can't be me and Leon.. we need more.. it's a team game man"

Either way.. it's ice berg right ahead, do they go hard astern or do the hit the iceberg and see if this unsinkable ship still floats..

Plus... while I'm thinking about it; Rose had more than enough room on that chunk of wood she was floating on for Jack, yet he freezes to death.. (lol)




The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.
