Peter Chiarelli Appreciation Thread

[McDrai]

Nashville's, Carolina's, or Toronto's assistant GM please

 

[StevenF1919]

yes they do, they can't score at the moment
they played well enough to win all 3 road games but couldn't finish

the Preds started 2-5-1 last year...we all know how that ended

They've been dominated in almost every game they've played.

The Preds had a significantly better roster than we have. Historically teams in our position almost always miss the playoffs.

Kyle Dubas from Toronto would be very interesting, but he's also very young, like only 32.

I would be all over this. Not only would he make a great GM but it would hurt the Leafs.

I think he might thrive here. We need a younger guy, someone who understands the new NHL

what? lol
the last 3 games they've been tied in the final 2 minutes of the game...
they dominated Carolina and Calgary...
the only game where they stunk the joint up was against the Sens..

John Chayka?

What new nhl? How’s chayka’s team looking again? Chiarelli is one of the most successful cap era GM’s. Step away from the panic button. 2 goals stopped by D men and the save of the year tonight is why we lost.

So we're 31st in offense purely by accident?

Chicago and Tampa Bay put up a combined 17 goals against that team that the Oilers couldn't even muster a f***ing safety.

Carolina was the only Loss where they deserved a result. They haven't had a lead since Game 2 of the season.

John Chayka?

He didnt exactly have much to work with but his off season moves were good bringing in Stepan and Hjalmarsson..Rome wasnt built in a day

How can you say this with a straight face? Chia inherited a team in Boston that won the cup then ran that team into the ground and is now running the Oilers into the ground. He couldn't make a read of his team and make a good trade or signing if it slapped him in the face.

His teams have gotten worse each year he's been there but that's ok
He gets a pass lol

15 goals in 8 games...that's what happens when you trade Hall and Eberle for a defensive defenseman and a plug. Yes, exceptional GM Chia is

How did Talbot and Maroon work out?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Talbot has been fine. Maroon will go as far as McDavid takes him and honestly I'm nervous for his extension.

They couldn't score when those 2 were here
Why would that change now?

Umm Hall and Eberle were great point producers when they were here. Not sure what you're talking about Peter

 

[StevenF1919]

They couldn't score when those 2 were here

They both had multiple 25+ goal seasons here.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Always one of the lowest scoring teams in the league ...did you conveniently forget?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

They both had multiple 25+ goal seasons here.

And both awful defensively

 

[StevenF1919]

And both awful defensively

Hall was good defensively in his last two seasons here.

 

[McDrai]

Always one of the lowest scoring teams in the league ...did you conveniently forget?

That's because we had Hall+Ebs and a bunch of garbage surrounding them.

And both awful defensively

Hard to be good defensively as a forward when your whole defense is trash

If Chiarelli inherited Boston then no GM gets any credit for a cup winning team. He built that team. When he took over Boston hadn’t been relevant in over 20 years and hadn’t won a cup since Bobby Orr. Also all the current best players on Boston (Pastrnak, Krug) were brought in by Chiarelli.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Hall was good defensively in his last two seasons here.

that's debatable, but what isn't is that our defense was a trainwreck...Hall was the price to pay in order to have an NHL defense
