    Default Oilers hire Stan Bowman as next GM

    https://twitter.com/FriedgeHNIC/stat...03112941117511

    Hearing the Edmonton Oilers will hire Stan Bowman as GM today…media conference to be held sometime this morning.
    Considering the glowing report that Sheldon Kennedy gave Bowman, this really doesn't come as a surprise.

    Twitter will be fun today.

    I think teams have always kind of done this behind the scenes, but with dirty laundry being aired out publicly more, teams avoid the hires except Oilers embrace it.

    I think it all stems from ownership being ok with it, and Daryl Katz is not an angel.

    Not a rumor anymore.

    https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/s...06427053924409

    The #Oilers have named Stan Bowman General Manager & Executive Vice President of Hockey Operations.
    The Oilers brass have said they were not going to bring in an inexperience NHL GM because of the contracts coming up that they have to deal with and wanted an experienced hand on the wheel to deal with them. I am not sure this was the right move but Jeff Jackson must have done his homework, I'd hope.

    Interesting comment:

    https://twitter.com/ChrisBr47827058/...06793711591936

    Bowman isn't the guy I would have hired, for hockey reasons, but all the keyboard warriors need to remember that Kyle Beach was the victim. Not them. Bowman has done work WITH Kyle. He wouldn't have been cleared without Beach's 100% blessing.

    It's not about you. Let him heal

    Obviously I have no idea who Bowman is, what his role was in the Beach incident, if he has put in the work to be a better person, whatever...I just don't like the optics of this move by the Oilers. It just brings the team more bad press and media distractions.

    Absolutely.

    I do think, as well, that Jackson would have consulted with the teams leadership group in the dressing room about this, primarily McDavid, before making this decision as well. I cannot see this happening without their blessing.

    If anything, I expect the press conference to be interesting.

    Yup, nothing is happening in Edmonton these days without a conversation with McDavid.

    Im just getting ahead of all the "McDavid wont want to stay now" or "McDavid's gone" comments that we all know will come flooding in.

    oh, I'm sure that is the case, but it still bothers me. I like McDavid, obviously, but he is hockey player who wants to win and likely doesn't care all that much about bad press and optics. Maybe I shouldn't care either, but as a fan of the team (and not just McDavid), it isn't only about winning and losing for me. It isn't just the Oilers, obviously...I will feel the same way with whichever team hires Quennville, I felt that way when Columbus hired Babcock, etc. It is easy for me to take the moral high-ground as a fan who doesn't much consider the business implications of these moves.
