Lets face it, from being the first ever Oilers draft pick to coaching, becoming GM and keeping the Oilers competitive before the Pronger curse..Lowe has always bled copper and blue.
Hopefully he gets a job as a head scout or something..
Dont think he's as terrible as some make him out to be..

This guy deserves nothing. He ran the oilers into the dirt solely because of his incompetence. No appreciation for him, other than his time as a player.

I think he'll always be respected for being a great oiler when he was a player. I hope for his sake that people forget his time as a manager and just respect him for the player he was.

Head scout? Absolutely not. Keep him away from hockey related decisions so his reputation can be somewhat salvaged. Other than that, no, no appreciation from me.

I do believe that he absolutely loves this team and was doing everything he could to try to help it, but his best is absolutely horrible in a management role.

I appreciate that he was loyal to the team and city and believe that he belived what he was doing was going to work and appreciate that he stuck to his plan no matter how bad it might have been.

That's about it from me.

Lowe will go down as one of the most unprofessional managers ever. Let's see..

- Asking Comrie himself to pay 2.5M bonuses which nixed a Perry + 1st trade in '04
- The Brian Burke rant
- The 2013 press conference after interviewing no one and hiring a friend with no experience

Anything else?

The last two were the final straw for me. The Comrie one makes me sick thinking about it.

Let's wait to see what his new role with the organization is before we have an appreciation thread for him.

Everyone was sure he was out when Nicholson was brought in a year ago too. Didn't happen then. Might not happen now.

He will still be employed by the Oilers in some fashion tomorrow. He wouldn't be out for lunch with Chiarelli otherwise.

He just won't be POHO or anything significant any longer I don't think. The Oilers will likely put him in charge of handling the festivities of Rexall/Northland's last year or something and use him as an advisor.

Vice Chair of Oilers Entertainment Group or something is what I expect.

I have to agree with your assessment but I don't think you have to hold any tag days for Klowe. I believe he is pretty well off!

As for the Pronger Curse......I believe that was lifted last Saturday's when the Oilers' won the lottery..........be gone Mrs. Pronger!!!

Don't let the door hit you on your way out Kevin Lowe!

You are a disgrace to the city, the Oilers, and I hate you. I hate you for robbing us and this city 9 years of hockey. I will never forgive you.

Hit the pavement loser!

Yeah to be honest he really wasn't cut out for management. Far too emotional.
