Edmonton's Worst GM Linked To The Toronto Maple Leafs
Brendan Shanahan will need to search beyond the usual hiring circles to find a new GM as Kyle Dubas departs.
However, the pickings are slim, and Shanahan prefers not to recycle young, analytical GMs.
Peter Chiarelli in Edmonton:
Out: Taylor Hall, Matt Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier (NYI used the pick to trade up), Jordan Eberle, Ryan Strome, Justin Schultz, Drake Caggiula
In: Adam Larson, Griffini Reinhart, Ryan Spooner, Brandon Manning, Mikko Koskinen $4.5M, Milan Lucic $6M
Out: Taylor Hall, Matt Barzal, Anthony Beauvillier (NYI used the pick to trade up), Jordan Eberle, Ryan Strome, Justin Schultz, Drake Caggiula
In: Adam Larson, Griffini Reinhart, Ryan Spooner, Brandon Manning, Mikko Koskinen $4.5M, Milan Lucic $6M
Instead, he may consider a different kind of candidate - one known for making questionable signings, such as the Milan Lucic deal.
This candidate is Peter Chiarelli, whose notorious deals caused significant damage to the Oilers organization, which still felt to this day.
Some of Chiarelli's worst deals include sending Ryan Strome, Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, and the pick for Anthony Beauvillier to the NYI, among others.
It's surprising that Toronto is considering Chiarelli, but perhaps they are willing to take a risk. As the saying goes, "Don't disturb your enemy while he's making a mistake," after all.
