You don’t win every trade head to head. You give to get. Bottom line, Chiarelli has constructed a cup winning team. He’s got the assets and the balls to make it happen. That’s just a fact.

Uh they are terrible this year

You’re not winning the cup this year. Prospects are players too. Chiarelli is going to make moves as to not stay complacent. I can’t fault him for trying to shake things up. Hell even MacTavish wore out his welcome after half Snows term.

McTavish is the Oilers VP of Hockey Operations

Just wait until Garth Snow is the VP of Hockey Operations

One bad year to me is acceptable. Trade or signings don’t work out. The isles sucked last year and nothing was done to improve.
Chiarelli isn’t afraid to make moves. Wanna bet the Oilers are cup contenders before the isles?

I’ll be honest i wouldn’t even mind that. He’s got that extension so just take him out of the GM seat. Let him be whatever other title you want. Just stop letting him be the architect of this horrific project.

I'm waiting for Wang to sign over his shares so Snow can be an owner.

I guess we should celebrate Garth lost the president title.

I meant to say Chiarelli is constructing a cup winning team. I’m willing to bet he’s closer to the cup then the isles in the next few years.

Snow should be fired and the Isles should file a restraining order so he can be within 50 miles of the team or any of it's facilities.

Snow needs to offer JT a contract and if he turns it down Trade him... period.

Exactly i mean he either wants to stay are not..

Haha. Funny. But, i don’t care what other job he gets, as long as he’s no longer drafting, trading or hiring.

I was just reading the coyote thread and I saw you post a video of Fuccillo "huuggee" advertisement. And i hate you for it. When I was @ SUNY Albany just over a decade ago I always wanted to break the TV when that commercial came on.

Every stitch is a paaaart of me

Tweet wasn’t worded well. Isles shopped Hamonic when he made his trade request. Teams were told they only wanted a similar D back. Hall wasn’t brought up. Talks ended.
- Vukota

He's contradicting himself. He's the one that tweeted no deal for Hall because there woukd have been a mutiny.

Garth didn’t even inquire about Hall? Even when he and everybody else knew the Oil were starving for competent defenders?

That’s either complete bullpoop or epic level negligence.

Don't believe the hype.

Garth Snow has botched more picks than a greasy-handed defensive back and wasted the prime years of a Hall of Famer, but hell yeah, let's have him in charge of the biggest decision in franchise history... what to do with John Tavares. In any other sport, the GM trades the elite talent headed for free agency when the team is at best a coin flip to make the playoffs, then pushes to re-sign him in the offseason. But this is the dumbest sport in the world, so the GM that's underwhelmed for a decade will hang onto Tavares for the rest of the season and potentially lose him for nothing instead of reaping a bounty of futures at the deadline (that he'd probably botch, anyway). The Islanders are the Kobayashi Maru of hockey.
