Just think about how awful our defense is going to be next year with Petry gone and likely no replacements.
But MacT probably plans to sign Boychuk for 7m x 7 right? RIGHT?!?!?!

I long for the day when we can seriously talk about signing good players without having to use loads of sarcasm.
It's a sad day when I wish we had Garth Snow for a GM over any management we've ever had in the last decade.
MacT deserves much of the blame he is getting, but I still like him better then Tambellini.
Why, why, this thread. Make it disappear.
How could there be any doubt about how much fault or blame MacT is getting?
exactly.... he deserves all he is getting, if not more

I'm starting to miss the Tambo days.
Never. Tambo is the architect of this horrible rebuild.

Heck I'm even considering the possibility of Milbury being GM, or Harold Ballard as our owner.
Nah, Lowe was
He wanted a rebuild even back in 2007, and Tambo never had the clout to ask Katz to sacrifice 10s of millions in playoff revenue and make the negotiations for the new arena more difficult.

I bet GMs around the league are lining up to fleece him when things continue to go poorly for the Oilers.
Why did Lowe change his mindset from doing everything to squeak into the playoffs and adopt a complete rebuild? It goes against his demonstrated record. The only difference is ownership, so perhaps Katz ordered it? At the time, a lot of people seemed happy about the rebuild and frustrated with Lowe trying to sell the farm each year in a desperate bid to barely make the playoffs.
A rule I have and this is not just my rule--but when GM blatantly starts lying to the fan base it is time for him to go
