Oilers hire Stan Bowman as GM & EVP of Hockey Ops

[Curufinwe]

I was cheering for the Oilers in the Finals. Won't be doing that again.

 

[Little Fury]

Mailloux faced Sweden justice and suspended by the OHL. He was also 17 at the time.

Comparing him to a grown man in a position of power who allowed another grown man to repeat a sex offense by not saying anytjing is garbage.

Not saying Mailloux is an angel, but mentionning his actions in the same sentence as Bowman and co. is stupid at best.

Yes it's a poor comparison because Mailloux is an actual sex offender.

Bowman put his 3 rings on the table. That's as deep as McDavid reflected on it.

He inherited that entire core. He had nothing to do with the cups. Like how Chiarelli got his core in Boston. Oilers love hiring terrible overrated GMS that inherited their cup winning team.

 

[Senator Stanley]

They really couldn't find anybody else? Nobody? Maybe somebody who hasn't demonstrated horrific judgement as a leader of an organization, perhaps?

I just don't understand what makes Stan Bowman such an incredible candidate that he's worth putting the organization in this position.

This is 100% a Katz decision

His biggest move was adding Hossa and they went onto win 3 cups. Bowman is taking over a great team in the Oilers right now and who knows. Maybe he adds a big piece

 

[BeLeafing]

gross

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Who the f*** wants to watch that, lol

Well of course you didn't talk to Derek Ryan, Jeff.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Par for the course for that shitbag joke of a franchise.

Hope they never make the playoffs ever again.

Scum from top to bottom.

 

[LTIR]

Awful GM, even worse Person. What a disgrace. Hopefully Leon and Connor walk now.

So what exactly did he do?
Seeing everyone jumping on the guy and it makes sense that Oilers could have easily avoided this drama.. but exactly what makes this person a POS so that I could join in the bashing fun.

 

[Orfieus]

I can't believe Edmonton would hire a person like that, truly baffling. I truly and honestly wish nothing but the worse to the franchise and the players who choose to play under a GM like that

 

[Gentle Man]

Sounding like Carter Hart, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Dillon Dube, and Alex Formenton to the Oilers

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Disgusting.

 

[LemonSauceD]

I feel much better after the conference. A lot to process really.

Super conflicting. I still think he should not be back.

 

[HabsQC]

Yes it's a poor comparison because Mailloux is an actual sex offender.

Not in the same stratosphere as pedophiles or protecting pedophiles, but sure why not put everyone in the same bag, if it makes you feel better.

 

[Zerotonine]

You know, as an Oiler fan, I get why fans of other teams hate this franchise so much.

Absolute dogshit decision.

Team continues to slit its own throat with every decision they make. Here comes another decade of darkness....

You have to wonder if this hiring might affect some of the players on the team including the new acquisitions

 

[LemonSauceD]

Yes it's a poor comparison because Mailloux is an actual sex offender.

What an idiotic comment.

 

[Byron Bitz]

From a on ice standpoint he’s a great GM

Just so you know, he wasn’t the one that acquired Toews, Kane, Keith, Byfuglien and Seabrook. He inherited the core pieces for those cups.

Uh, Talon was the GM when Hossa signed?

 

[robertocarlos]

Oilers fans have always fully supported the team, buying tickets even when the team were losers. Will that continue?

 

[LordBacon]

As a nucks fan I love this

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Man honestly i was rooting for McDavid a bit even if the oilers are a pathetic *tanking for 10 years* franchise but even now I don't think i can even root for McDavid to get a cup , not while he's in edmonton lmao please escape that place so we can root for you connor.
