The core is set. I would like to see Kane moved, but this what we can expect going forward. We are papering over our holes on a year to year basis. The bottom 6 will have a couple changes. The top 6 will have a player slide in and out. The core is there to stay for the parade.
The defense is the question mark.
Another thought. Would you rather have a set roster with no wiggle room, or some cap space for deadline acquisitions? Some Ekholm-like deals will be available in the spring of 2024.

The core is set, but the core isn't good enough to win. Yammo is not the reason the Oilers aren't a real contender. We're tinkering around the edges on our Indy car and wondering why the F1 teams blow us out of the water.
I want wiggle room. All day, everyday. An organization has to be able to move and adapt as unforeseen circumstances inevitably arise. Unfortunately the Oilers, because of mismanagement, have bought themselves exactly 2 days of wiggle room. They're looking at another season with a 21 man roster because it's set in stone. I figuratively eat my hat if if the Cap Space isn't spent and the roster isn't basically set by Saturday night.

What happens if his desired outcome is to make the team as good as possible? I am no Holland fanboy, but this narrative that his team is lost at sea is a bit conjecture. I thought Holland has made some decent moves in the last calendar year (I am completely ignoring the Campbell albatross).
We also turned a 5th into Grubbe, which is kinda move up on the draft board. Also I am not sure if anyone noticed but the draft floor was relatively quiet with GM's holding onto their picks.

I have no doubt Ken would like to make the team as good as possible. Where I have my doubts is his ability to make that happen. He certainly has a plan, but I've seen nothing to suggest that his plan will manifest as anywhere good enough on the ice. Swapping out an overpriced Yammo for whatever deck chair he has in mind Saturday isn't going to move the team's needle. He simply has a plan and hope.
Please do not feed the bears. Feeding the bears creates a dependent population unable to survive on their own. Bears.
