[PULSATING]

Moves made were fine.

Not upgrading on Ceci is a huge fail and I think it will cost us in the ploffs.

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

It was not enough. D+.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

D. As in not upgrading the D is going to be Deeply Disappointing.

 

[McMozesmadness]

All our competition dove in the pool, while we just dipped our toe in. In a year where we needed to be all in. This franchise is embarrassing to cheer for

Anyone ok with today. Raise your f***ing expectations

 

[McHelpus]

Gave it a F

 

[McDoused]

B+

Holland listening to his players and keeping together the guys who got them here. We didn't mess with the chemistry of one of the best teams in the league. Hopefully our boys play with a chip on their shoulder.

 

[29Beast97Mode]

C minus. Henrique is a good add, but team didn't do enough to "get over the hump" vs Vegas imo. D core still bad, Stecher isn't enough.

 

[Mav3rick07]

C

I like the players we got, but we failed to address our biggest need which is defence and goaltending.

 

[Ruok]

I don't understand not going all in. You have the best player in the league, and the GM has never sold the farm to give him the best possible chance of winning the cup.
Then you have your main competition adding multiple impact players.
I hope the Oilers win it all. But Holland could have done more.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

It's a C-, we added forward depth and Stetcher isn't going to impact our D lines.

We're coming out of it with a 20+ goal scorer, so that's decent and no movement for our roster.

So..passable, but underwhelming and we didn't target any of our actual needs.

A big ole' meh.

 

[Ninety7]

C

Good moves that make us better

But for what we gave up, comparative to the competition, not so good

 

[Broberg Speed]

Gave it a F

F stands for f***ed from the get go but you can't rate the nice piece of business the Oilers did compared to the cheating ways of the Vegas Golden Knights and Bettman's online sports gambling shenanigans.

C+

 

[Darkwinter]

I gave it an A+ on Connor's first deadline as the GM.All his buds are still here

 

[The Bored Man]

In a so-called "all in" year, going into the playoffs with this top-four defence is an F.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Seeing what other teams have done like D+.

 

[Spawn]

An F

Just like Holland's entire tenure as a GM here. It's a shame this bum is going to be able to retire rather than be fired like he deserves.

5 years to ice a genuine d-core and find reliable goaltending.

Nada

What a loser.

 

[La Bamba]

Compared to Vegas and Colorado, they failed.

I’m a vacuum (which we’re not in at all), the team got better with defined bottom 6 Cs. Stetcher is a good spare tire.

Can’t wait to play this in round one

Barbashev - Eichel - March
Stephenson - Hertl - Stone
Mantha - Karlsson - Amadio
Carrier - Roy - Kolesar
Howden - Cotter

Hanifin - Pietro
McNabb - Theodore
Hague - Whitecloud
Martinez

Hill
Thompson

 

[5 14 6 1]

An utter failure if we're honest. Didn't address a single need they had. The henrique trade is decent, but didn't address anything they actually needed.

 

[Spawn]

Can’t wait to play this in round one

Barbashev - Eichel - March

Don't worry, we've got McLeod and Foegele for our 2nd line.

If Vegas actually brings everyone back, who are you realistically going to bring in to beat this? It's pretty obvious that the issue is with Vegas and not Edmonton.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

B- or C+.

In a bubble these are non-sexy good depth moves that help deepen their thin depth down the middle. But life isn't a bubble and while the Oilers are like a teetering Jenga game with minimal trade collateral, outside the Oil bubble Vegas destroyed the deadline, Colorado and Dallas also better. Oil still have questions with their defense, top six right wing, and arguably most inexperienced goaltending.

The regular season off the canvas revival has been incredible. Their numbers and stats look great. Unfortunately this is regular season hockey and not the long marathon grind of playoff series and harder, tighter games. This looks like a daunting murderer's row to go through Vegas and/LA.

Who was available though? We were in on Tanev before Calgary spited us.
