Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | Post Free Agent Frenzy, Will JJ Show His Pimp Hand Again to Upgrade the Defense?

[McBooya42]

Freakin' awful. Why?

 

[Zerotonine]

Now that the Oilers are taking all the criticism I bet a team swoops in and picks up Quenneville.

I bet quinville will be an in season hire . I'm sure teams r just watching the blow back on this and monitoring the situation closely

 

[Davo Ikinzom]

Freakin' awful. Why?

Should we be surprised? The owner of the team picked the last two GMs.

 

[McTonyBrar]

I hope they didn’t ruin everything with this move. f***. End of the day everything does first go through Jackson and I bet he did first consult McD and Leon about this.

In the more fun category, I’m gonna get some popcorn and watch this board and twitter today. Can’t wait to see the “fans say they are switching teams” but still really watch the team lol

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Noticed Jeff Jackson privated his Twitter last night.

Agreed. People are blind-sided by the fact, ALL decisions go through JJ. So I think people need to get off their high horses and take some chill pills lol.

This team likes giving second chances to guys at a cheaper value. However this is too far in my opinion.

 

[JeffSkinner53]

If it's any consolation, apparently Kyle Beach approved Bowman's reinstatement into the league.

Hell of a coach if a team is willing to take the heat.

Jackson's agent advised him to have his Twitter turned off

Is Jacksons agent go by the name of Scotty?

Q is a tougher sell IMO. He was more directly involved with sweeping it under the rug. He worked directly with Brad.

 

[On The Prowl]

Holland wasn't perfect, but he made some fantastic moves bringing in Hyman and Ekholm and I would rather have just brought him back for another year. Bowman had better be the perfect candidate, if McDavid/Draisaitl leave without a cup during his watch it will be the final straw for a lot of fans.

It's not, he's still a shit GM.

 

[Canovin]

Bowman was brought in when Chicago was entering the height of their power. Dirt aside, I can see why Jackson took that into consideration. It's easier to make moves when the team is already a powerhouse and that is probably Bowman's strength

 

[K1984]

Q is a tougher sell IMO. He was more directly involved with sweeping it under the rug. He worked directly with Brad.

He also was the one to give a referral for Aldrich to get another coaching job.

McIssac and Quennville are the major culprits.

 

[McDoused]

Where was this?

 

[Canovin]

Honestly I think Bowman is the puppet GM. Jackson wants Bowman for his connections.

 

[Ninety7]

Why? Of all the candidates you go with bowman?

 

[MessierII]

Honestly I think Bowman is the puppet GM. Jackson wants Bowman for his connections.

No matter who they hired it’s going to be a collaborative thing. That’s why Stan in only VP of hockey ops. If thats the case though why bring the noise? They obviously must believe strongly enough in Bowman that they think it’s worth it.

 

[OilersaretheMcBest]

I'm just going to pretend we don't have a GM still

 

[McDanglez]

Could be an understanding between both of them. Bowman has connections that can help JJ. Maybe it's clear from the start Bowman won't be calling all the shots and this opportunity helps him get his feet back under him.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

If it's any consolation, apparently Kyle Beach approved Bowman's reinstatement into the league.

where?

 

[McTonyBrar]

The EST Hangout is unbearable right now lol

 

[spot]

This is so bloody unfortunate. A part of me trusts JJ because of all his recent moves. Can someone please explain to me, does bowman really have certain connections that can help the oilers? Holland is/was a respected GM on and off the ice and even he had to work for trades. How can this benefit us? We had other teams loving the oilers and the environment we provided for our players. This seems like a stab in the back. I don’t know how to move forward
