I live in Vancouver. No one is saying shit because they’re all fair weather fans.Guy comes in buys out Sekera drafts the wrong player , gets absolute **** help for McDavid and Draisaitl up front on the wing, then goes out and signs a canuck cast off who was so bad he was constantly ripped on Canucks radio stations for being a spoiled snotty untalented self entitled brat who's skillset is equivalent to a lucic.
I live in Vancouver... these guys are laughing at the Oilers signing Granlund. Shaking thier heads in the process. Oilers will Oil
Nice intro Holland.
Trash
my lord it a one year deal.calm down.We have 1.1 million in projected cap space left currently according to capfriendly. Most used by acquiring spring chicken Mr Smith... Our netminder of the future.
Ken Holland is ****ing ******ed when it comes to cap management.
He should be fired.
\I mean I think he's been awful so far too, especially the unnecessary Sekera buyout, but come on it's already an improvement over the monkey we had in before him. He went through day 1 of free agency without saddling us with a millstone contract, and did not toss away our 1st rounder Griffin Reinhart style. There's also more than 1 freaking day to improve the team, so if he uses that cap hit over the next few weeks on a top 6 winger then all the sudden things look a lot less gloomy.
Now Bob Nicholson? That imbecile needed to be fired 3 years ago.

no but I what do I know just fair weather fan.Is there a GM out there that could have turned this team around and made them into a playoff team in a month on the job?
Right!? He needs some time to put together his pieces.It doesn’t need to be asked. They’re not going to fire a veteran GM after his first draft and free agency period.
So people are angry cos Holland couldn't do any miracles? As far as I know, those ****s just doesn't exist, well maybe in fantasy books and films.
That's the job here, if he didn't want something that had a high bar set, he should have just stayed in Detroit.
Giving Connor McDavid basically the same team he had last year with whopping Granlund, a 4th line player, added to it is garbage.
So it's his fault that PC got us to this deep **** cap wise and was handcuffed before he even start his job?
Hard to believe he hasn't fixed our cap problem & winger depth problem & goalie problem & defense problem & front office culture problem & dressing room culture problem yet.
He's been here over a month, what is he waiting for?

He needed to be bolder than that. Make a move on PK Subban and dump cap as neccessary, do something, the same roster that finished below the rebuilding Canucks with Petterson injured for like 20 games while the Oilers got 100 point seasons from McDavid and Draisaitl ... is an embarrassment.
How can you even keep a straight face when talking to McDavid and tell him you're serious about competing next year.
How you think he didn't try? Only way to fix those things would be trade contracts which no one doesn't even want to look at. Just look at Looch contract, there's no one who would take that if we don't take another bad contract back and retain some salary, it wouldn't even give us more cap flexibility, maybe make it worse.
