Oilers hire Stan Bowman as GM & EVP of Hockey Ops

[LTIR]

You're not, you're reading and accepting excuses, and justifying this move to yourself.

I am not.. I am looking for legit reasons to bash thus guy and am still searching.

You are just joining in with the mob

That's funny. I'm looking for legitimate reasons to think he gave two shits about this and I'm still searching.

He's a bad person who enabled a culture of abuse. There's your reason.

 

[AcerComputer]

I could tell you if I was McDavid I would not approve of this hiring and would be very vocal about it.

 

[Woodrow]

I haven't seen a McDavid statement yet which I find very curious.

 

[Siludin]

I mean not really that surprised considering they love to go after personalities with baggage. Kane, Perry...

Probably going to hire Quenneville as well if they have a slow start under coach Knob.

They go after people with no other options.

Calling this worthless piece of garbage a person is a generous assessment.

 

[KCC]

And they called me a lunatic when I said Draisaitl is coming to Montreal in 2025. I feel sorry for the Oilers fans. That douche will leave a stain.

Edm has had a lot of truly terrible GM’s. You have to hope they win the cup this year before Stan destroys the team.

Sure, assuming he had full details about the incident and had more power than the president of his hockey organization that he escalated the concern to.

Suggesting we hunt him down and remove this filth from this world?

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Gross. Hopefully McDavid gets his cup after leaving Edmonton. And just as it seemed like management was righting the ship.

 

[Broberg Speed]

CBC will do everything in their god damn power to make us look like the bad guys again next season too. But it's been obvious for a while the old boys club is filled with nothing but a bunch of racist xenophobic predators.

oh my

 

[Oleksiak]

Not suggesting that, but the world will absolutely be better place when he stops wasting oxygen.

Him and about a billion others

 

[Oleksiak]

There's no way he wasn't consulted to make sure he wouldn't demand a trade if a GM who supports sexual abuse was hired. He also deserves some blame if he agrees to play for a team that employs this scumbag. Hopefully he retires with no cup if he's not man enough to do the right thing for once in his life.

As far as I know, everybody on this forum was available for the job.

They chose that guy instead.

Not just forum posters either, you got general humans, dogs, cats, owls, peacocks, skunks, mice, rats and even mythological or fictitious persons and beings and even a literal dumpster fire, but was that good enough for Edmonton to choose from? NOOOOOOOOOO.

 

[StickShift]

Which NHL club is Kendrick Lamar and when are they gonna release their diss track about Drake’s Edmonton Oilers.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Why are people parroting "read the report" when they themselves are semi-illiterate and haven't interpreted it correctly?

If he's learned from his mistakes and is a changed man then that's great. But actions (or inactions) still should have consequences. He shouldn't get to jump back into a GM position in this league. This reflects very poorly on Edmonton.

Marchand was not available yet, he still has a few years of playing left.

Cute lil seal avatar. He/she would've been a better choice!

 

[DistantThunderRep]

The team owned by Katz who has/had multiple sexual assault allegations made against him over the years. The team that employs Bob Nicholson. The team that went for Virtanen. Yeah...not shocking Bowman fit right in. Oiler fans need to make this loud at every game, f*** Stan Bowman. I bet Bowman's first move is to get Carter Hart to sort out the Goalie Position.

 

[Fantomas]

There should be a shame campaign. This is unbelievable.

If he's learned from his mistakes and is a changed man then that's great.

lol c'mon

 

[DaaaaB's]

Sure, assuming he had full details about the incident and had more power than the president of his hockey organization that he escalated the concern to.

That's a pretty safe assumption. If a GM has a player report a sexual assault to him and he claims to have not known the details then he is either unbelievably incompetent or more likely he's lying. When there's like two people who agree with you and about a hundred on here who don't I'd say it's maybe it's you who isn't seeing things clearly.

I believe in rehabilitation. But I also believe in consequences. No matter how much personal growth he's had he shouldn't be allowed back into the NHL.

That is the fairest way to look at it.
