I don't view Staios as "another former Oiler hire". He doesn't have ties to the glory days. He spent time with the Leafs organization in player development. Then he moved on to being the Pres and GM of the Hamilton Bulldogs. He's regarded as very smart, soon to be NHL GM. He's paid his dues. He was brought to the Oilers as a "Special advisor". In my opinion, you don't leave a Pres and GM job to be a special advisor unless there is something more substantial coming. To me, stepping down as a Pres and GM of a junior club, which is usually the stepping stone to being an NHL higher up, just to be a guy in a room to throw out an opinion is a step back in my opinion. So I think he will be moved up.
