One could argue that Lowe was the best GM Oilers have had since Sather. His teams were competitive, almost annual post season appearances during his tenure and all before the cap era
Some perspective; this is the Oilers 4th best points total at the all-star break since the '05 lockout. Almost unbelievable considering the on-ice product, but entirely plausible considering the missteps and mismanagement
The apathy in town towards the team this year is alarming, it just feels...different than years past. The comments regarding the Oilers' management arrogance toward the community is spot on
