hehe, this talk about how important 4K is. Guy was below replacement level before being hurt. Can just bury him. Don't have to be panicking about needing cap room for him.

Part of the evaluation process is that I have to watch games. Obviously, you're going to feel one way if you lose in the first round, and another way if they win the Cup.

What does he even mean there!? I swear, he looked like he was disgusted at even the question about being creative with the cap. Just the very short "no" in response to the query.
How can you look at a roster that's been caved in when ever McDavid and Draisaitl are off the ice, and where they have been jamming Kahun and Ennis in to the top six and hoping one of them is finally going to break out - and not see something that needs to be addressed. To say that he didn't really seriously look at adding any impact forwards speaks volumes.

Ex-Oilers blogger, Michael Parkatti, posted this on twitter the other day, and it really clarified things for me:

I've said this before. The McDavid Oilers in Gretzky-years are in spring 1985. We're behind schedule. And the ultra-prime years will be gone sooner than most expect. We should be all-in from here on out.
|
Gretzky's best season statistically was 85/86. There's a pretty decent chance that McDavid will hit peak production in the next couple of years, if he's not already there. Star's decline tends to be slower than average plugger's but it's going to start getting harder to win a Cup, not easier, very soon.

I've been making the point here about the management lack of urgency for ages, since before we had McDavid...they're always satisfied with talking about next year and believing that there's going to be this nice bell curve up where you make the playoffs, then the next year you win a round, then two, and so on and so forth. That's not really how this works, especially when you have the best player in the world. You should be good almost immediately. They are content to make big mistakes again and again in the management of the team, and to blame bad luck, or players just not turning out, or the last guy they fired.
Generational players should jump you to contention right away. If you have someone who's destroying the opposition when they're on the ice, it makes a big difference anyhow, but it's also exciting and players want to come play with them. We heard this in McDavid's first couple years from players as free agents...the Oilers just signed the wrong ones. McDavid's done everything he can. He's awesome, and intense and wants to win. And he gave the team a break on his contract when he had the opportunity. The team responded by over-paying several other players that year including Russell and Gryba. It has to be disheartening when you leave money on the table and it gets spent frivolously by management.
When you blow the doors off the league year in and year out and the management can't seem to even get their act together enough to make a real bet on you at the deadline? It's got to be crushing. I'm curious what percentage of goals in the last month McDavid and Draisaitl weren't on the ice for. I'm going to guess it's a really low number. That should indicate they need some help. Apparently Holland still needs to "watch the games".
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
