The Oilers haven't crafted a message in 23 years that beats what Adam can write in ~10 minutes on a Sunday night after the kids go to bed. It's absolutely shameful.

I think part of the problem is that to the Oilers management, these availabilities are just part of the job. You have to go talk to the press. I don't see a lot of evidence that they spend much time planning for these and that they're even aware that it's an opportunity to send a specific message.

I mean, it's not like it would be terribly difficult to plan for these. Most of the scribes start trying to lay groundwork for the narrative they hope to pursue in their tweets as much as a day or two ahead of time. It's not like Mark Spector is hard to figure out. Hell, it's the Oilers media - they're pretty pliable - you could probably ask them to submit their questions a day ahead of time and they wouldn't even blink so long as you still promise you'll put out donuts.

Then you craft the message you want to deliver. If someone throws a curveball, you steer it back to the message. They should understand that people do hear what you say - your players, free agents, other teams - so stammering through a press conference, looking disorganized or flustered, seeming like there isn't much of a plan? It can negatively impact the team. There is no excuse for these to be a tire fire. Management sets the timeline and the rules of engagement, so why have so many of these been trainwrecks? I think it is pretty indicative of the team's management and it undoubtedly has impacted the team. Especially given everyone knows the media here are obsequious to the team - if it devolves in to a disaster when it's the friendliest media possible giving them a tiny amount of pushback, then how do these guys handle negotiations with agents or other teams? How do they handle adversity when the team hits a bump in the road - are these the guys who stay steady when the criticism ramps up?

I don't think Holland's presser was one that instilled confidence in anyone. The best praise it's had here is that it wasn't a complete circus and he didn't give away many secrets MacTavish-style.

"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
