Gosh, the more I think about this, the more this move upsets me. Not in how damaging it is, but what it forecasts. I feel like I care more about upgrading my fantasy team than Ken Holland cares about upgrading his real NHL team.
He's just checking boxes. Bring back character guys he's comfortable with. He couldn't possibly fathom looking at perhaps better options in the long offseason? This just couldn't wait. We have trash depth, why are we bringing back part of the problem for 2 more years! This is just a really lazy signing, and it's all part of a pattern of other lazy moves.
For only being here 2 years, he's done quite a bit of damage.
- Re-signed Kassian to a deal too long AND too rich after playing half a season with the best player on the planet. Box checked.
- Re-signed Kris Russel a whole year ahead of his contract expiry. Character guy, kills penalties. Box checked.
- Assembled some of the worst bottom six scoring in the league. Chiasson, Haas, Nygard, Shore, Kahun, Ennis, Turris were his contracts.
- Traded away two 2nd rounders for Athanasiou.
- Bought out Sekera a year too early. Still got 2 more years of that dead cap.
And then upcoming broadcasted moves:
- Re-sign a 40 year old Mike Smith. How could this bet go badly? Character guy. Box checked.
- Re-sign Adam Larsson for 4 years, who could very well be the 3rd best RHD next year on the Oilers. Character guy. Kills penalties. Box checked.
This is the most important offseason in my years as an Oilers fan. It's make or break time, this team needs to go on a run yesterday.
But if this is how the offseason is gonna go, I'm predicting that we blow McDavid's time here. For a manager who gets paid 5 million dollars a year, I am stunned how lazy he is. He does not seem interested in to upgrading spots. Bring back the character guys that he's comfortable with. Forget assembling the best team. He already won in Detroit. He's done it.
Clean house or bust
