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

[RandomGuy79]

If we do go with Bowman, how much will it impact us retaining and bringing in guys? Can imagine at least a few players refusing to play for us.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Okay I’m going with my final guess :

Stan Bowman
Brian Lawton

 

[Senor Catface]

It’s Stan Bowman guys…

You mean "I think it's Stan Bowman" :|

 

[JeffSkinner53]

Oilers have given guys second chances- Kane, Perry but this is too far and way beyond the magnitude of either of those two did. If it's Bowman it's extremely disappointing for multiple reasons and will be a massive PR mistake after gaining so much goodwill this off-season. Hopefully it's actually Botterill.

Okay sorry for the jump lol

I think it’s Bowman or Lawton

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Are you though?

No it isn’t. JJ keeps his cards close to his chest

 

[belair]

It's MacT, guys. Third time's a charm.

Bowman would be funny just for the head explosions and watching some people struggle with that conflict all season long. Overall most people won’t care as long as the team is winning.

I still don’t think it will be him though, My guess is Botterill. Outside chance Hunter but I get the feeling he’s happy in London and it would take an incredible opportunity to pry him away. Which the Edmonton GM job kind of is, Wagon of a team in the midst of Cup runs with the best player in the world. Who wouldnt want that job, Jackson should have his pick of the litter, which makes the Bowman smoke even more strange. He can put just about anyone in that chair and this is the guy?

So not Bottrill?

Basically everything JJ has done to date worked out I can’t see this one being any different. It’s got to be Lawton or Bottrill

 

[Yuke]

Just hope it isn't a 5 year contract to whom ever JJ picks

I want him back solely for the Vince McMahon entrance gif.

Hmm
Former GM?
Knows the city?
Someone who can do the day to day nothingness while Jeff runs the show?

If ‘Knows the City’ was a requirement Botterill was born here

Wish they would just get it over with already.

For the summer he had this move would erase everything to me.

Bowman doesn't deserve to just come back and be a GM again. Second chance whatever, but not in the same role. Needs to work his way back up IMO, before being given a GM role.

Guy wasn't even that good of a GM in the first place either.

I get it that this isn't going to be a traditional GM role, but the guy is still going to have the title and be the go to for a lot of things.

The summer? It honestly cast a shadow of the last 6 months. They cannot do this.

The one kicker with him is he could very well be the new GM of the Kraken in a year if he sticks it out and have more control than he would here, so I could see why he'd potentially pass.

Bowman officially coming.

God damn it.
