Oilers fire Freddie Chabot, as per Ryan Rishaug

Funny how this happened a year after I brought it up as a probable cause for Dubnyk's spiral into poop.

I guess I'm a clairvoyant insider.

Nice!!!!!
Now talk to Sean Burke, tell him you will triple his salary and give him free prescriptions at all Rextall drug stores for life if he comes to work for the Oilers.

Oilers need help everywhere. Please trade your first round selection this year. Please keep McDavid and Eichel out of Edmonton. Please get a competent GM that knows how to build a team. Get players that can keep pucks out of your own net instead of stockpiling players that can (supposedly) put the puck in the net. Get help on the back end instead of this hodgepodge of underwhelming players.

You have the pieces, go get leadership and a winning attitude. And if your GM cant do it, go get a new GM too.

Quite frankly I dont care much for the Oilers, but I am sick of seeing them stockpile top talent and ruin their confidence.

Ok then tell me a realistic deal that will make the team better. GM's aren't going to give fair value to a "core of losers"
- TheJerseyDevil1

On one hand, I agree with you.

On the other hand, we can give up more value and still make our team better. In fact, it's impossible for our team to get worse in the standings after making a trade.

Then there's the factor that people see the oilers as grossly incompetent, and there's been a perception that since we're "mishandling" our players they're going to be rough diamonds as soon as they get to a new team. That might ensure their value isn't so closely tied to their current production.

Maybe MacT is the problem???
- saskoil21

I'd say you're right. He is the GM and if this team wasn't assemble properly with obvious needs it's on him I'd think. Do you guys think you'll actually get a "top line center" for Perron? I'm not asking that in a douchey way it just seems lopsided to me. What would be your expected return?

Edit; sorry see someone else already asked this question

It's a very good move. I have no idea how Chabot survived for so long.

Any news if Chabot's assistant was relieved as well?

He doesn't want to get raped. He's run out of options. We are going to lose a trade to get a piece we need.
- Iggysbff


That is probably true, but if it helps this team bite the bullet and move forward.

I don't know what it is. But just because you don't win a deal on paper doesn't mean the team won't get better. You honestly think they should just do nothing? What in god's name leads you to believe that this team will pan out?

Even if we just traded Perron, Purcell or Pouliot for a player of equivalent talent but who played centre, and even added in a 3rd as a sweetener, we'd be better than we are right now.
