The #Oilers have parted ways with assistant coaches Trent Yawney and Manny Vivieros.
Did Vivieros ever really do anything here? Was kicked upstairs by mcLellan day one. Think he got to be on the bench now and then with hitchcock. This Oilers coaching page picture was the only one not professionally taken, was just some picture from an old WHL article that some Oilers website guy copied.

Yeah, getting rid of guys like Vivieros, MacT, and Sutter are all a bunch of "Meh". The main suspects (re: KLowe and Bobby) are still around. Get rid of them, and the stench will really start to go away, even if Ken winds up bringing in his own odor.

Based upon everything that has come out. Lowe has zero things to do with the Oilers hockey operations side in any form. Bobby yes--you need to aim your hate at the right people. Once you do that you will figure out just who is to blame

Steve - it would take incredible mental gymnastics to believe that Kevin Lowe isn't involved in hockey operations. He's at the draft table every year. When someone needed to tour around Milan Lucic and Jason Demers, there was Kevin Lowe with a hard hat on, touring the arena construction alongside the players. When anyone near the team (bafflingly including media) they suggest that he gives his opinion regularly on hockey operations - "and why wouldn't you want to take advantage of having that resource there?"
It's been mentioned many times that he's still in some meetings, "he just isn't in charge of hockey operations".
Who do you think was involved in the "Red Wine Summits"? https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/oilers-held-hostage-voic es-past/
Friedman suggested this year that Lowe & Gretzky were frustrated with Chiarelli's decision making and that they weighed in with Katz on that frequently. That isn't exactly passive non-involvement.
You have someone who was in that job before, who is above the GM/POHO in the organization, who wants to be heard on his opinions of how hockey operations should run, and who has the ear of the owner and won't be afraid to whisper in it if he wants to undermine the GM/POHO or others? That's involvement.
Besides, what exactly do you think Kevin Lowe would bring to the table outside of hockey ops? What about his history - playing hockey for 20 years, then a year as an assistant coach, a year as a head coach, and almost two decades ruining the team from upper management - would develop any business skills that would be useful enough to keep him around with a six or seven figure salary?
"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
