Sounds like a step down for Lowe, but I’m really not sure.

Wow, Tambellini finally gets his shot. I’m surprised there were no rumours of this happening though.

anyone think this is cuz the oil weren’t getting deals because of the lowe/burky feud? this moves lowe out of the eye of the storm and allows a new face to move and shake in the nhl. huh. i dunno ...

Getting Lowe away form GM for the Oilers can’t be a BAD thing. If it helps any though, we’ll see.

This will be a interesting experiment for the Oilers, having a GM that hasn’t won a fistful of Stanley Cups with the team.

Good for Tambellini, I believe he will be a good GM for the Oilers.
