I would have liked to have been able to pick more people to be fired in the poll.

It's pretty rare that you're allowed to fire UP. Vice-Chairs out-rank General Managers I'm afraid.

What if he is the Pres of Hockey ops and GM, then can he?

I have said it a few times. I don't know if he is the right guy. I didn't think he was coming because I didn't see the upside for him and leaving the City and organization you have been with for over 30 yrs and uprooting your entire life at 63 would be extremely hard. I saw a tweet yesterday that before he could say yes, he had to meet Marian Illitch, the wife of his dead boss in person to tell her he was leaving and I assume say sorry for leaving and hug it out. I don't see him doing all that to come in and be a puppet and happily accept working with a bunch of guys who are lousy at their job.

If I was Holland, I have a job, a good job. Maybe not exactly the job I want but it's a good job, pays me well. I am in a City I am extremely comfortable with, my family is happy to live there, I am with an organization I know extremely well, that treats me like a King and I am comfortable with. So when the Oilers come calling, I am telling them I am not leaving all that unless I am allowed to surround myself with my people. I could be 100% wrong but if I was in his shoes, even if I was buddies with Nicholson and a few others, no way I make that move. I am not coming here to tarnish my legacy and potentially make myself look like an idiot by taking a job that has no chance of succeeding if all the same people are allowed to stay.

I get you guys think I stick up for Oilers no matter what but I am not. I am just looking at this like a business guy would. I wouldn't leave a situation I am comfortable with to take a job where sure maybe I got a raise but baring a miracle, probably doesn't go well if you aren't allowed to make changes.

Reasons to leave:

$25 Million.
Detroit is not a nice city. Edmonton is nicer.
Few people who were first in command, want to be second in command.

Reasons to go:

I agree, he might actually have free reign of the entire org. If he does, awesome. If he doesn't, then the team might as well have stayed with Chia or Keith.

2015/2016 - This Kool-Aid tastes like McDavid flavoured Drain-O.
2016/2017 - This Kool-Aid is starting to taste like juice.
2017/2018 - I'm drinking this Kool-Aid, in hopes that it's Drain-O.
2018/2019 - Another round of Drain-O, good sir!
