I've been seeing a lot of positivity online from Oilers fans from "all of the changes" but really all I've seen is:

- Holland named GM (I didn't mind this) Agreed. We were hiring someone. This was probably the smartest move and it's early, but he seems to be doing and saying all the right things

- Lateral coach move from Hitchcock to Tippet Sounds like Tippet is more of a players coach. Hitchcock? Not so much. That's a positive and he's a good coach that has worked with very little in the past and succeeded.

- Mac T takes off to the KHL on his own (who knows if he didn't if he would have been moved into another position) We will never know, but this was a bit out of left field. I think a reasonable person would connect the new hire to his leaving.

- Bob Nicholson who is part of the problem is PROMOTED I work in the federal government where we often hide our mistakes in special projects with fancy titles. Hoping this is a similar move.

- Scott Howson who caused this mess is still employed in some capacity (I don't even want to bother to search to know what his title is) He still needs to go

- Kevin Lowe who caused this mess is still employed in some capacity

- Some entertainment guy from Toronto is hired If the switch the toilet paper from under to over in Edmonton it's front page news. FYI, it's always over and never under. For what it's worth, if he can get the off ice fan experience up to par with other organizations then it's a great move. Nothing like paying $300 on a seat in a beautiful rink and have zero off ice entertainment. Out of all of the rinks I have visited Edmonton is by far and away the worst. Junior hockey does more

- Keith Gretzky is named AGM (I don't mind this move) Has appeared to have survived Chiarelli coruscated which has to be a feather in his cap. I like him.


Anything else I'm missing? A lot of "changes" but really a whole lotta nothin'. Pretty much everyone is still here.

I'm the positive guy here too.


The PR guy may have been hired by Trudeau and helped with the recycling presser. Far too many times our management looked bad in interviews or leaked information for no good reason. Maybe things will change?
