The only gm I truly have a hate on for is tambellini.

Liked mact a lot despite some missteps.
Thought Lowe was really solid pre cap.
Hate tambs.
Like pc so far despite questioning a few things.


Maybe I'm an apologist. Dunno

Lowe was a great GM. His biggest problem was the ownership group not allowing a rebuild ....and hiring Tambo. That was retarded.

If you do not join the mungers in a witch hunt, yes, you are an apologist.

Good logic. That player is still better than Pronger today, no matter how dominant he looked against Beiber.

Absurd logic

LOwes years pre cap was when I really I started following the oilers.
Tough job. Pretty much a farm team for the rich clubs. Had to be pretty creative and still had us in the playoff mix most years. Even won a couple rounds against some juggernauts.




Too bad he missed out on Hossa later on.
But thank god he missed on nylander

I'll give him credit for swindling Pronger out of St.Louis. Other than that he did nothing of note, unless you count a cinderella run in 2006. Unless you count Shawn Horcoffs contract as something to be proud of.

Lowe did a great job until the end. Your memory is clouded by his POHO press

He was actually a lot more effective before the cap was implemented. I'll give him that.

You just knew he was gonna take us to the cleaners after that cup run.

That's the kind of situation when you need to leave loyalty and appreciation after the fact out of it. Everything should be based what WILL you do for us going forward.
Can't be easy though

Yeah.

We took out Dallas and Colorado in different seasons.
And that's when they were pretty much dynasty teams. Dallas only won 1 cup, but they were elite for about 3-4 years. The avs were all time for almost a decade.

I just said I credit him with swindling Pronger out of St.Lou. Beyond that? Cmon, they snuck in on the 81st game of the year and Roli got hot. Then imploded the next year without Pronger.

The reality is he put together some hard working teams pre-cap that had some limited success and even enticed a couple bigger names into town. Beyond that he did nothing that would qualify his work as great. He also saddled the team with some crippling deals that made a rebuild harder, and everyone knows damn well he was still meddling even after he left the GM position.

They were Dallas' prison shower b1tch from 1998 on. Really, during Lowes tenure they had 4 or 5 playoff appearances and only 2006 was a good one...which was followed up by horribly inept personnel management.

Nope. Sathers 97 and 98 team both made it to the second round. After that it was miss or lose to Dallas in the first.
