Let me know your thoughts on this move by the Oilers...

[pjhagen]

Even if you did not take the suppression of SA into account, Bowman as a GM accelerated the downfall of the Hawks dynasty (all the pieces were there when he stepped in, he inherited a winning roster).. he is responsible for trading Saad to Columbus for Anisomov, a 4th, and AHLers because his contract was going to be expensive; then he traded back for Saad in exchange for Panarin (who got similar money to Saad). That’s just the tip of the iceberg, Bowman sucks at managing assets

[stevemclavish]

Junk move. Only 32 of these jobs in the world, and u give it to him. Yikes.
It doesn't matter what he has done to better himself. He can have a different role. Also just cause Kenndy say it's good. Ask Beach a d see what he says.
Terrible move

[yelling]

I especially love how Jeff Jackson said they weren't really going to be talking to Draisaitl until after they got a new GM because he'd need to know the guy who's going to be signing him and running the team... and then hired Stan Bowman. In what gd universe is that a good plan????

[bellamydrake]

Why would the oilers make this move????

[pbdecodedpb]

Absolutely ridiculous. Why would the Oilers with McDavid and all the media attention on him and the team bring in this negative distraction? So if the Oilers go back to the finals this weird energy dude will be part of the story. How about McDavid vs Bedard games? Two of the biggest stars and you'll be hearing about this clown formerly of (Bedard's) Blackhawks organization. This guy brings a bad voodoo vibe with him. I no longer believe in the Oilers to win the Cup with McDavid. Yes simply because of the creepy GM.

Jackson filled in nicely as interim GM/, good off season moves.Then they do this??Wonder how it effects Mcdavid /Draisityl signings

[billcollier]

its the oilers, two steps forward and three back

[waxedjade]

utterly disgusting move, this might be the most disturbing move in Oilers history. BOWMAN LET SHIT HAPPEN AND GOT CAUGHT . not a high light of the NHL. any one but Bowman. i might just start being a Vancouver fan because of this move,

[OilersabersMan]

Lets take a look at some of his worst trades for a second

Zadorov for a 3rd
The Seth Jones trade
Janmark for DiSimone
The Lehner to Vegas trade
Jokiharju for Nylander
Forsling and Anton Forsberg for De Haan and Saarela
The Panarin trade
Teravainen trade
Bufuglien trade
And the Kyle Beach cover up

[joelpollock]

The was the worst move I thought it would have been hunter

[vonchef]

What a wrong move by the Edmonton Oilers and shame on them for this hire. Who cares if he’s changed he still did it what he did

[djclovissio]

Dude the interim GM was fire, why would they hire a guy like that after they *just* went to the finals? Imagine if they win, it's gonna come back right at the Oilers organisation

[costa]

Sheldon Kennedy doesn't speak for Kyle Beach just like no one could have spoken for Sheldon Kennedy. Totally disgusting.

[j.t.miller]

Oilers love taking on controversial pieces don't they

[costa]

This is totally wrong. A guy who looks the other way while one of his players is being abused. The NHL is truly an Old Boys Club. Wishing nothing but failure for this organization.

[waxedjade]

now lets get the players insight on Bowman as gm.

[mariovaccarella]

Great Video, as usual, Mike. I thank you, once again, for the update. This is huge.

[FigFury]

Since McDavid was drafted by the Oilers, this is the third GM that has a cup ring. The two previous ones didn't have the success that they wanted in Edmonton. Now bringing in Stan not only doesn't make a difference, but he brings baggage. This team is finally on the cusp of not only to bring the cup north of the border, let alone bringing Lord Stanley back to the city of Edmonton. This could be a dark time for the Edmonton Oilers as far as the Bowman is concerned while their window of winning is open for now.

[allenbeal]

Not a good idea for Edmonton he will screw it up it's awful he gets to work again
