I feel like he deserved better than this. A president's trophy, one cup, and damn near another. Tough crowd I guess....

You trade seguin away, this is what you get.

I like what he did for the Bruins and brought us a lot of success, but it was time for a change

They were trending downwards:
- lost in finals
- lost in 2nd round
- didn't make POs

One of the reasons their stays in the POs became shorter & shorter is that injuries & age-regression were not adequately replenished on the roster by talent & youth.
Too many poor drafts forced the ChiaPet to panic by re-signing his vets to overly-generous contracts, and to trade away high-pick draft capital for fringe vets who
rarely made a difference and were all sooner or later released or traded-away themselves. The last solid trade for a vet was the one for Mark Recchi, IIRC.
The result has become an older core only a couple of whom (Bergeron, Rask, et.al.) are earning their salaries, while others are untradable, and 25% of the roster
doesn't belong on a Cup contender in any capacity.

The ChiaPet might not have made all of those poor draft picks himself, but he hired the ones who made all of the others. Pasternak looks like he might become a
top-9, possibly top-6, RW capable of partly replenishing the transitional & shooting skills of Seguin, the trading of whom was a franchise-altering decision.
But the drafting of Subban was inexcusable unless he is moved for a top-6 RW or top-4 Dman to replace Seidenberg/Chara…which the ChiaPet should've done
with that pick anyway.

Think of it like this: Bob Kraft fired Booby Grier after 3 seasons ended with results nearly identical to those of the Bs' last 3 seasons. Let's hope that Charlie & Cam
can hit the jackpot with their next hire in somewhat similar fashion to how Kraft hit it with his next one.

I'm just saying much much worst GMs have gotten a much longer leash. Or look at coaches..Norv Turner...I would have thought they'd give Pete another year or two at least.

Better to cut ties a year early than a year late, as someone else is known to do.

Hired as the President of Hockey Operations and General Manager by Edmonton today. Super excited about this as an Oilers fan. It's been a pretty great week for us.

we will see how excited you are after he makes a trade or two

Or after a couple of putrid drafts…or a couple of expensive extensions with NTC/NMCs...

He made out well. He will learn from his mistakes.

Why should he? He probably feels that he did nothing wrong. Otherwise, he says to himself, why would another team hire me so quickly?
