Decades of mismanagement and this incompetent front office has you blaming the fans. Truly wild discourse around here these days. My irrational blame goes to McDavid. Sure, this team went to the finals two years in a row, but the Trent Frederic signing combined with running Skinner back for another year should have told McDavid everything he needed to know this summer about Bowman's hilariously bad approach to improving this team. Extending for two years incentivized the worst management group to make #boldmoves. When the savior is flying away from Edmonton for the last time, this team will be a wasteland of overpaid garbage hockey players on NMCs and completely bare cupboards. What a shame.

Yeah, I've never heard any fan anywhere, especially not here, saying that this team was poorly managed.

We have all been cheering on Bobby Burgers, Chiarelli, Holland, JJ, Bowman, MacT, Tambo and the like the whole way through while they did super impressive management work.

We can only blame ourselves for these results.
