Holland was an easy hire, not a good one. This team hasn’t had a good GM since Sather. It’s been the bane of this organization. Not a clue how to build. Still.
|
Worth remembering how that hire came about. Nicholson bemoaned the fact they'd never had an actual hiring process in any of the GM hirings so completely embarrasses the franchise by polling competitors on what attributes they'd want to see in an Oilers GM. Then as he's building a list of potential candidates, he learns that Holland might be available and abandons the process he just talked up in order to prostrate themselves in front of a guy who hadn't done anything right in a decade, making him the highest paid GM in the game.
Idiot.
|
Oh yes, who can forget the GM meeting in Florida. You could open your window and hear palms hitting foreheads in Edmonton for days. Bobby was in “Look at me Larry” mode for the Oiler faithful that week and ended up revealing just how incompetent he actually is.
|
And here we are, three and a half years and a couple rape funds later, and Bob Nicholson still collects cheques from the Edmonton Oilers for quaffing down Wayne Gretzky wine by the gallon and doing little else of any value.
|
The weird Nicholson presser with Katz on the left side of the camera frame when he looked shockingly disfigured and hadn’t washed his hair in a month. Distraction factor or something. Maybe he just felt he had to be part of the action. I had forgotten what the presser was about 10 minutes after it ended.

That's some 4D Chess at work, my friend. How can you focus on bad management when you're also looking at really bad hair! One problem at a time!
I once had a guy who worked for me who was terribly incompetent but also had hair so bad that my wife asked if I was going to say something to him about it. He was going bald really young, so had just created this weird swirl thing that climbed several inches off his scalp. I deferred on commenting on his hair to him, saying that was the job of his buddies or a future girlfriend. However, it also took me way too long to decide we needed to fire him, so maybe he, like Nicholson, had figured out the art of distraction.
Although, Mark Spector's hair is perfectly normal, and he's still here writing hatchet pieces like this, and I haven't seen Holland's hair discombobulated either, so maybe there's lots of ways for incompetent people to survive way too long in their jobs.
