Why? There must be some young bright guys out there who are itching to become GMs. Why give the job to this old dinosaur. *Looks up Chayka, John*... oops, never mind.

The Oilers have decided to become a halfway house or something.
Guys, have you forgotten that there are two forwards on your team who make hockey history annually and yet have to win a cup? Try not being a crippled franchise for once, wtf.

When you have a bad GM leaving in Ken Holland, and a bad person potentially being moved in Evander Kane, you have to find away to fill both voids quickly.

Why do they always feel the need to bring in some big name has-been? Chiarelli, Holland, Bowman?

Tweet is pretty vague. This could mean as little as bowman's name coming up in a brainstorming session.

Bettman is a joke. They should have been permanently banned. But then again, Gary is a clown and a half. Happily stood up at the podium with a Vegas pick that joked about the Swastika and getting his Jewish friend to pose in the pic. Bettman has no ounce of any dignity or integrity.

This shouldn't even be a possibility.

Vegas’s pick this year did that?

Yup. That isn't even the only thing he did. His Dad likely pulled strings to get the racial slur suspension thrown out as well since he's a coach and the whole appeal was insanely shady. The witness wasn't told of the appeal and neither did his team or coach. The side that had a witness wasn't spoken to and they said oh no witnesses and evidence. Uh, they didn't speak to them on purpose.

Also was kicked off of multiple programs for being an absolute piece of shit to his team mates and harassed them off the ice as well. When athletic was reporting about all of the incidents, his parents tried to sue them to stop it. His agent was telling teams there's worse out there and was saying he could offer up names to let his client get the benefit of the doubt.

But Bettman happily stood there, Jewish bloke standing beside a lad that thought it was hilarious to sit a Jewish mate by blocks making out the Swastika with "creation" as his quote in the image.

So I fully expect Gary to pull some bullshit and let pieces of shits like Joel and Stan back in probably next year. He's just that kind of slime ball.

Damn. SN, where the hell was this on the scouting report. This Trevor Connelly sounds like a real piece of crap.

There's a part in the article where scouts say they didn't want to be the one blamed for ending his career so they just took him off their board and knew not to pick him. Vegas being of zero class or character decided to ignore most of it and play into the PR game by his agent.

But the whole act of - I don't want to be the one to say it, someone else should.

Is exactly what the Hawks did with Aldrich and he went on to hurt more people. Stan and Joel knew and did f***ing nothing. They should never be allowed back.

Sounds like Vegas alright. They usually trade their firsts, so they can cheat the cap at the TDL. Maybe they won’t find it so easy to move Connelly around like past picks. Here’s hoping.
