quennville and bowman have been punished enough, per gary 'the merciful' bettman. nearly 3 years sufficed.

quennville will get another head coaching job. i believe that bowman will get an administrative role with some club, if his dad lives another 3-4 years.

not sure why holland and the oilers 'mutually decided to part ways'...but here's stan bowman as the new GM. wow.

Maybe we could trade Seth Jones and Connor Murphy for McDavid and Draisaitl

Is Lazarus saying Bowman shouldn't be employed at all, or that he's not the best choice to occupy the alpha position in a professional sports franchise?

I would think Bowman would be unemployable due to the fact he terrible at his job. Look at all those Stanley Cups, they were won with talent Taillon acquired.

I think he had the "you don't HAVE to hire them" line locked and loaded for wherever Bowman washed up. It's too similar to how they talk about people they feel are no longer entitled to work in media.

For the record, I think it's a terrible hire for the Oilers, not just because of Bowman's role in the blowjob coverup (which was more significant than Quenneville's, who was always sort of hamstrung within the organization) but because of his last few years of terrible moves with the Blackhawks. But then the Oilers have been hiring weak late-2000s retreads for years now, whether it's Dave Tippett or Todd McLellan or Ken Holland or Stan Bowman.

This first was, along with the core Tallon built. The rest was handled by Scotty Bowman basically telling Stan what to do...until after 2015 when Scotty decided he was done, too.
