Sujet: They have literally no structure
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Patching the roster with Ennis, Turris and the rest of the nobodies he picked up and doing nothing about the goaltending and defence doesn't help. Nor did sending assets to get AA and the rest of his reinforcements at the deadline last year. It's clear Holland is trying to win now.</div></div>

So spending next to nothing to add actual NHL players to the roster to add depth to what was a thin forward group is some how wrong,adding a proven PP quarterback to replace Klefbom is wrong, but going out and overpaying a UFA goalie and blowing the little cap he had or trading away prospects that will be a huge part of the oilers future, that would be classed as trying fix the problems to win now. As mentioned earlier AA would still be a Oiler if it weren’t for the flat cap, 2 second rounder for a 30 goal scorer fare value, unless your implying that he should have been able to predict a global pandemic, those moves were made when the oilers were battling for a division title when’s the last time the oilers did that??

Holland has done nothing but took a controlled approach about building this roster, hasn’t trade one top end roster player or top prospect that would affected the oilers future like every other GM has done the last 10 yrs trying to WIN NOW, trying to improve your team for the playoffs is what you want from your GM to do.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I honestly want them to be good and when they fired Chirelli I hoped they would have gotten a forward thinking new age thinker in charge. When they picked Holland I really was worried he'd do exactly what he is doing which is trying to fix the mess quick and it just can't be done. They need to replace half their roster and not with older hasbeens and long shots but drafted talented players who can help McDavid and Draisaitl. I really think McDavid will want out before his contract is done.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KakkoForMauriceRichardAward</b></div><div>IMO Nicholson (their president of hockey operations) is cancerous. Oh, and did u know Lowe and McTavish are still working for the Team?:laugh

Their whole organization is just a mess. THey fired Chiarelli a year and a half too late, they wasted so many picks and prospects, have had no proper D structure for a decade, have had no real legit long term goalie since god knows who, do I need to keep going?</div></div>

Please explain to me how holland is trying to fix this fast he hasn’t moved one big name player and AA would still be a Oiler if it wasn’t for covid and the flat cap.

Totally agree uncle bob is just as much responsible for this mess as Chiarelli, I don’t know what people expect holland to do with the mess he was left with no cap, when he was hired you know change wasn’t coming till 21-22 season with cap to work with and Broberg, Bouchard and McLeod already to be full time NHLers

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>Will Kassian not be back? Edmonton got outdone on physicality and Montreal started getting chippy with a pretty quiet bench from Edmonton. To me Neal and khaira draw back in and they put the playoff 4th line back together. I also think jones and/or bear may even come out and Russell and/or Bouchard go in.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yash97</b></div><div>Kassian just had a child, so he will miss at least 1 game and neal is on a dtd injury, Russell, IDK, cuz Tippett wants to leave in Slater Koekkeok, and Bouchard won't play until at least the deadline</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>I was wondering on Kassian he missed the one game and had a day off so it probably depends on him and the wife. He’s had a couple of days do you think he stays out longer? Neal was rumoured to be ready for Saturday he’s been skating for about 10-14 days so anytime. Koekoek wouldn’t come out it would be jones. Bear also didn’t play the last ten minutes of last game so maybe he sits?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Yash97</b></div><div>IDK how long hes out, he was at training camp, but the day of the opener, he was deemed unfit to play</div></div>

Kassian will be back in the lineup his child was born Saturday game day the only reason he missed the game, Neal should be close and I think JJ draws back in and Jones out and Russell, Koekkoek moves up to play with Larsson, if Neal’s ready, Shore, Nygard and Ennis out, JJ, Neal and Kassian in.

Sujet: Line combinations game 2 verse the Habs
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Zmach</b></div><div>To me I think ennis comes out and Archibald goes there. At least Archibald can forecheck somewhat. Chiasson was playing hard and is a big body. James Neal might also be close to ready?</div></div>

Archibald hasn’t looked good on his off wing he’s much better playing the right side, Chiasson didn’t have a single hit against the Habs and won’t take a hit to make a play and has been brutal on the PP, Ennis is a skill guy and needs to play with skilled line mates to be effective and is general responsible in his own end, it doesn’t really matter who’s in the lineup if team wise if their not willing to work as hard as their opponent something that’s be a major problem for this team the last 10 yrs.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Not sure I agree. Koskinen will be a UFA summer 2022 (when this trade occurs) and they'll have to make a decision. Varlamov is 1-year, $5M at that point, so there's basically no risk. If he's still playing at career averages, I would certainly be open to considering this trade... maybe he'd be a good mentor for Konovalov, too.

I would think by then the Oilers will have all ready sorted out the goalie situation, who ever they bring in next yr to replace smith I’d expect it to be for more then 1 yr be it a UFA signing or a trade with it being another 1A 1B situation and becoming the starter once Koskinens contract expires

Potentially Koskinen can be just as good, but the track record is short and he's a UFA summer of '22. I could see Edmonton doing this deal for sure, depending on what happens over the next 2 seasons of course.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Copenhagen</b></div><div>Over 50% in the dot and Right shot, can help Holloway learn the position at the NHL level while putting up 15 goals. Veteran. Ans Schwartz puts up another 20 goals, maybe Holloway puts up 15 playing with them. Thats another 50 goals per year as opposed to the 20 last year. Whats not to like?</div></div>

The problem I have with Krejci is his age, I seen him play enough last yr to see the drop off so signing a 35 yr with declining player that’s played a ton of hard minutes with Boston in the playoffs the last 5 or 6 yrs for 2 yrs at that cap pass, I could get on board on a 1 yr deal if it was with the intention to mentor Holloway, if the oilers plan is for Holloway to play centre I don’t think we see him, Holland will give him all the time to develop, if he does sign and leave school this spring I wouldn’t be surprised to see him spend the whole season in the AHL, there’s no need to rush him with Turris signed for 2 yrs
