The #Oilers are like the Vegas Golden Knights in not caring what anyone thinks in making controversial calls if it means they can win.
Except the moves they make are bad.
- Hired Chiarelli, Holland, and Biwman
- Traded two first round picks for Griffin Reinhart
- Gave the bag to Lucic
- Traded away the pick that ended up being an elite goalie in Wallstedt
- Possibly hiring Babcock
- Gave Frederic an 8 year deal
Sorry, but winning the Cup in 2008 isn't enough of a reason to hire Babcock. Even if you overlook his actions towards some of his players, his record of no playoff series win since 2013 further illustrates why it would be a horrible decision for the Oilers.
With essentially a one-year McDavid window, the Oilers hiring a guy who hasn't coached an NHL game in 7 years and got fired from his last job before even stepping behind the bench would legitimately be one of the most insane management decisions of all time
@nielsonTSN1260 Overager who matched his point production from last year on two seperate stacked teams? Yeah I’ll take Howard who has a year of pro hockey already under his belt. Nice rage bait though
