Twitter reacts to Edmonton Oilers firing Peter Chiarelli

Firing Peter Chiarelli will make little difference in the long run. This team was bought to win real estate deals, not championships. #oilers

Chiarelli is probably a nice dude and all but he should never work for a NHL team ever again.

Peter Chiarelli traded the two top picks from the 2011 draft in two of the worst trades in hockey history and yet at one point was a nominee for GM of the year LOL

To sum it all up, Peter Chiarelli was asked to renovate a house but instead burned the place to the ground and put up a tent

Oilers fire GM Peter Chiarelli! How long before McDavid asks for a trade if they continue to miss the playoffs? He surely want's to be contending and winning? #Oilers

Peter Chiarelli should never have an NHL GM job again

I see some great names as possible new GM. The question will be he actually wants to be the new boss of this huge mess Chiarelli left behind. Not an easy fix at all

I’ve seen a few people suggest that Hextall would be a replacement for Chiarelli in Edmonton. I wonder how that would work, given that one of the big issues in Philadelphia was Hextall’s unwillingness to include others in the decision making process.

RIP Peter Chiarelli your legacy will live long in Edmonton. @EdmontonOilers Pierre McGuire would be a great replacement. #hall

Red Wings GM Ken Holland is an interesting Chiarelli replacement rumour. Gave @Bob_Stauffer a nice interview on show before game. Bob praised him for keeping current forward Wings skilled players in AHL for years but not enough ticket sales. Hmmm.
