The next move will have ppl partying in the streets, but the one after… riot.

The party on twitter has begun… who’s ready for the next part?

The riot…yamo overpay? You need to be less Garfield and more Odie.

I live for chaos.

Just another topic for a different thread.

Pretty sure we should leave this one to focus on the Wood.

For others curious, the answer was in the post I’m quoting

Although no one is curious, this is what I was referring in the post I'm quoting

I like this signing and think it's deserved. As a fan, I couldn't help but noticed the team dramatically turned their season around right at the time Woodcroft was appointed. I do have a lingering concern any time Oilers senior management does... anything.

Are the Oilers making the best choice after serious consideration or are the making the easy choice after reviewing what's right in front of them?

All of the above! This signing appeals to the Oilers management and in particular Holland for a number of reasons:

1) It's easy! Just talk to one guy, pay him what he wants and be done with it. None of that whole pesky scene of interviewing people, or trying to convince your old Red Wing/Hockey Canada friend to leave Middle of Nowhere, Saskatchewan.

2) The fans seem to like Woodcroft, so don't have to worry about getting spit and roasted on twitter all summer. That's really annoying. Not just the stupid analytics people either, but run of the mill fans, that base who still read Matheson articles! They all like the guy, so that's a nice to have.

3) It allows them to suggest that they knew they were making the right move all along when Holland made a snap decision to fire a coach who'd been struggling to get wins out of his team for two months after two straight playoff exits where they looked totally unprepared and had no adjustments to make. Right at the point he was ready to declare the season lost - remember the whole "we can't trade a high pick unless we're a contender" speech? - Woodcroft helped to completely turn things around. He tossed a coin to pick his coach, and that coach took the team to the Final Four. Is there anything better than that? Holland is a hockey genius clearly!

"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
