Bowman should definitely be fired before he does anymore damage to the team.
|
I actually meant to create this thread before the Babcock hiring.. Bowman is not a good GM.. Chicago roster and play style was largely created by Talon before he got tossed out for Bowman..
Despite what Jackson did getting cornered on the Broberg and Holloway offer sheets by signing Avardson, J Skinner (w t f!) .. and extending Henrique .. Bowman failed to realize the value in the prospects and chose not to match and subsequently correct Jackson's mistakes.. he could have traded Avardson, skinner.. bought em out whatever.. Broberg was the real loss.. instead Bowman gave up a 1st to trade for Walman and then signs for 7x7 .. and who looks like 3rd pair level at this point.. meanwhile Broberg leads the St. Louis defence corp... never mind Holloway.. who is now on St. louis top line.. and was a top forward at the recent worlds for Canada.. Bowman replaced him with who.. Fred? Fred who cost a 2nd and a 4th and Bowman then signs for 8 x 4M (c/w NTC).. and was a deserved healthy scratch by the end of the season
Trades O'Reilly for Howard.. O'Reilly who is MVP of the OHL, OHL playoffs, and the Memorial Cup.. Howard has skill.. but he lacks speed and size to compete at elite levels.. I don't see him as the next Caulfield.. which I'm sure Bowman had imagined.. Caulfield is a lot faster.. any simple analytics could have indicated that..
The tell for me that Bowman is reaching for ideas is that he seems to always look for players in his old neighbourhood, places where he has had the most familiarity.. like the US development team or NCAA close to Chicago.. its like a crutch he leans on.. also a sign that he is scarce on roster solutions..
Signs Mangiapen.. based on hopes and prayers.. there was nothing in his previous seasons play that suggested he'd be an answer in the top 6.. he was a bust from the start of the season.. then they give up assets to get rid of him..
Then there is Jarry.. paid peak price.. now we're hoping Jarry trains over the summer.. gets better.. makes a miracle career comeback.. like every summer we had with Stu.
Now the entire coaching debacle.. start to finish.. a comedy
Life as an Oiler fan carries on..
But.. we still have McDavid 🤞🏻 🌞

Bowman has struck out on every activity involving a medium to big money asset. His only hits are the cheap guys that no other team wanted at the time that came back to life (maybe only temporarily) with us. Basically Podz, Ingram, roslovic. Anything else, disaster. And Babcock will count as a big money asset, he will probably milk us for 5M a season like he’s doing us a favour coming out of retirement.
