It really all falls on Bowman.
Magni - bad
Letting go of Brobeg and Holloway - bad
Jarry - bad
Walman - was okay at first now, bad
Fred - why 8 years? Why? Bad bad bad
Arvidsson - not on him bad
Skinner - no on him but bad
I miss Skinner. I miss Kulak.
I miss a defensively competent defensive corps.
Book tee ties McD, Hyman and Drai, you done all you could but this organization doesn't know how to save himself.

Tend to agree.. Kulak was the big loss.. one of only 2 competent defencemen on the roster (him and Ekholm)
The only player assessment decision Bowman has gotten right was getting Roslovik.. most of the others have crapped out.. Samanski doesn't count because Dallas Eakins is the one who put him on the Oilers radar.. nothing to do with Oiler scouting
Howard and Hutson are TBD..
The worst decision IMO was deciding not to match on Broberg.. he was a young, cheap, elite skating D-man that could effectively move the puck.. now they couldn't get one if they sold the farm.
Instead we have Walman that cost more, can't skate, and looks like his primary diet item is cheeseburgers.
