Peter Chiarelli hasn’t been winning any fans over of how he has handled the Edmonton Oilers the past few years. An argument can be made that he’s done more harm to the team than to its benefit. But patience has also been a virtue to the fanbase in giving the man one more shot in turning this ship around.
A lot of hockey experts weren’t that impressed with the changes he made to the team during the offseason. Some have said that the team is nearly identical to what it was last year, and can’t expect this group of talent to be better than what they were last season.
