Confirmed with Link: Bowman is the new Oilers GM, Quenneville reinstated

[HeisenBaez]

Why would anybody hire these clowns given the blowback they will face?

 

[hockeydoug]

Actually shocked it took this long.

I can only wonder how many similar events were covered up successfully

 

[HLLYWD99]

I can see Q getting a coaching job real soon, StanBo on the other hand not so much.

He a cup winning GM. He'll find a GM job for that alone.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Not getting this and why. Oh well....

It’s the NHL, they take pretty much anyone back. How many times did that piece of shit Babcock get another chance? Go down the list, the NHL is terrible with these circumstances. Bowman because of his last name will get a chance doing something, Q will definitely get hired at some point.

I know teams want to win at all costs and will consider any option to achieve that goal but there still has got to be morals and standards.

Morals and standards will always fall behind money in most circumstances in this league unfortunately

Morals and standards should matter but they don't.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Good for them. Don't deserve to be banned.

 

[CallMeShaft]

If an organization wants to take some bad publicity away from the hawks, let them. It'd be nice to not be the bad guys for a change.

I eagerly await fanbases changing their tunes about these two assholes when their team signs them.

 

[ploppsdman]

I will attend the games for any team that hires these sexual assault enablers and stand with a sign condemning that team.

This is unacceptable. WTF happened to consequences?

This isn’t rhetorical. WTF happened to consequences?

Rich people being put on the shelf for a few years is NOT a fair consequence of knowing a kid was being sexually assaulted & doing NOTHING.

Great news, Q should get a front office job...

Hockey wise, I can’t believe you would hire him.. beyond that my thoughts are already on this site. It’s just insanity.

 

[ClydeLee]

And nothing before the Oilers have done player wise has been bad this offseason. It's looked good. I get their president who was an agent before wants someone to do the daily GM business, but then why not hire just some staffer under him to do it.

stanny trying the “tinker with a core someone else put together and get the credit for the cup win” playbook again.

At least now @Blackhawkswincup and @Blackhawks can roast "Stanley" again but this time as the Oilers GM.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

My hatred for the Oilers only grows on this day.

But have no doubt, this will backfire on them and it will truly be deserved.

 

[Drumman44]

I know there are going to be lots of jokes about how can we fleece Edmonton in a trade but I wonder if Kyle from Chicago will even trade with Stan? Just brings unwanted attention to the situation.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Odd choice as I thought the interim was being praised for his moves?

Will be interesting to see if they get Bowman who had pretty good first few drafts, etc or the guy who would repeatedly trade away young talent for inexplicable reasons and drafted poorly in 2nd half of his tenure

I also expected it would be Q that would get 2nd chance not Bowman. At least with Q your hiring one of the greatest coaches in NHL history

Someone should hire Kekalainen. He was the best at fleecing Stan.

 

[hawksrule]

Maybe we can get him to overpay for Seth Jones.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Think he would want Murphy again?

Get on phone Kyle
