Have JJ and Bowman had the worst 9 months in Oilers history?

I could think of a few 9 month periods worse than the last 9 month period so, no.

Simple title. In the past nine months, Jeff Jackson and Stan Bowman:

-Lost Holloway and Broberg to offer sheets
-Traded McLeod (45 point pace) for Savoie
-Signed Jeff Skinner to a highly inflated contract that included an NMC after a buyout
-Signed Henrique and Arvidsson to deals they are also underperforming which also included NMCs
-Signed John Klingberg to a questionable deal coming off a major surgery, eating up all our cap space for accrual
-Are now locked in a public disagreement with Evander Kane about LTIR when other teams are able to navigate it seamlessly every year
-Have refused to upgrade in net with predictable results

The result is a team on the downslide as they have played more playoff teams with no relief in sight and few options to fix it. I can’t think of a “better” set of moves if you were intentionally trying to sewer the team, never mind attempting to improve it. Thoughts?

Genuine question: How old are you?

Because if you're older than 7, then you need to go see a doctor because you can't even remember the Chiarelli tenure. That 18-19 Season might be the worst managed season in NHL history, maybe even the worst in the history of professional sport.

And that is what makes this latest period sad.
