Besides having a passing resemblance to Chiarelli, Bowman seems to have the same demeanor as Chiarelli.. even the way he talks .. calm and so self assured.. leaving the impression he's thinking things through on every decision.. however.. Chiarelli traded hall.. traded a high 1st for Rhienhart.. signed Lucic for long.. and ..Bowman signs Fred for 8 years on a retirement contract.. who then gets healthy scratched in the playoffs when the Oilers had no one healthy and playing on one leg.. lets Broberg walk away.. sign Mangiapane.. so to me Bowman starting smell a lot like Chiarelli.. and he's got a lot of cap space this summer.. more rope.. Lord help us all.

Bowman is the last person I want running the team right now. He was supposed to be the solution, but now the team has taken a significant drop. He's going to be desperate now... and not in a good way.

Agree.. desparate men become dangerous men.. he's feeling the heat on his neck.. nothing to lose.. money to spend.. and if he screws up he just collects his pay cheque(s) and does the sportsnet panel.. Oilers left with no prospects and a waste ass roster except fro the top few guys..
Oiler scouting staff is who I really worry about.. whoever made the bet on Mangiapane needs to get punted to the sun.. 🌞 .. they can't even scout they're own players and they see them everyday.. who'd you rather have.. Broberg for $8M x 6 next year or Walman for $7M x 4 ?

Their pro scouting has been embarrassingly bad the last few years. Particularly with regard to players in the Eastern conf - Jarry, Frederick, Mangiopani etc.
Luckily the Oilers only hire the best people for the job.
