"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
It's mind boggling how every possible excuse is being thrown out aside from blaming Chiarelli.
He went all in to make the playoffs last season, and the negative consequences are showing much earlier than even I expected. I assumed they would still be a playoff team this season but fall hard the following 3 years minimum as they struggle to field a team with good depth with all the expensive contracts on the team.
Chiarelli is terrible at cap management. And for every trade he wins he'll lose 2 or 3. He's riding off McDavid just as Bergevin did with Price. It would be a shame if he wastes McDavid's prime years like was done with Price, I still can't believe the Habs never won a cup with by far the best goalie in the planet.
Oh it’s quite obviously Chiarelli’s fault. But the next Oilers fan I see admit Edmonton did so well last year because of McDavid and Talbot going beast mode all season and not because of Chiarelli’s “other moves” will be the first.
I completely agree with you but firing the GM mid-season doesn't give them any immediate help for this season - that's why I think firing a coach makes more sense.
It definitely wouldn't hurt them to find another GM but that's probably something they should do after the season is over and before the draft.

I wonder of the Oilers could get a bonafide LW to help balance that top line with McDavid/Draisatl ... maybe for a big Stay at home Defenceman?
wait what?
Never mind.
Still lots of hockey to play but I'd say if they don't get their shit together within the next 10 games the gap may become insurmountable.
Way too much parity in today's NHL to overcome such a huge early deficit.
The Oilers have not been very good this year but they have the potential to be much better. They have been missing their #2 dman all year and they have also been missing 2 of their 8 best wingers for most of the year. With all that said, they are currently 4 points out of a playoff spot. Let me repeat that, they are 4 points out of a playoff spot.

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
Oh for Christ's sake, everyone's been making such a fuss and the Oilers are only 4 points back of a playoff spot in NOVEMBER!? I know they haven't been very good for most of the year so far, but 4 points!? Those greasy Oilers will have a partner when the dance cards are filled out for the post season.
