Oilers Nation is currently under fire right now over the controversial hiring of their new GM Stan Bowman.

Stan Bowman was the former GM of the Chicago Blackhawks during their dynasty era, but was let go due in 2021 due to the Kyle Beach scandal and was ultimately disgraced as result of it.
Wayne Gretzky voiced concerns, highlighting the importance of player safety, particularly for young prospects:

"I'm sitting here thinking, as a parent 'My son is 18 years old and he's going to maybe be drafted by that team. ... I want to know my 18-year-old son is going to be protected," Gretzky said.

These comments are completely valid by the great one. Things in Edmonton will be hot for a little while as fans are currently in dismay over the hiring of Stan Bowman.
