I did not expect everyone to be calling for Woodys head.
He’s been a great coach here, I believe this is something with the players.
We have had how many coaches and this happens over and over.
|
I’d willing to see how well Woody could do as coach if he had a GM who wasn’t a complete has-been.
|
I am all for changing out whoever to get this team going. So if firing Holland is the move, go ahead, do it. The question I would have is will it do anything because as right now I see a ton of guys who flat out aren't playing well and not competing and it it's not just Brown or guys he's resigned like Ryan or Janmark. It's guys who everyone would identify as being key Oilers.
Guys like Nuge, McLeod, Bouchard, go down the list. Lots of people were pissed there wasn't more money to give more to McLeod and Bouchard as an example. Most fans think Bouchard is their best dman and he should be on the top pairing. He's got some points, great but once the puck crosses the red line, look out. When the puck goes into the corner, he ain't coming out with it very often and he's not covering a guy in front of the net. McLeod same thing. He's got zero points, barely any shots and when the puck gets dump in, don't expect him to get it.
I'm not mentioning those 2 to make them my new "whipping boys". I am singling them out because they to every fan were identified as key players, the Oilers 100% had to keep, most see them playing critical roles, most want them to play more, most felt the Oilers should have found a way to sign them up for way longer to way more money and so far, they have not played well at all.
So other than making people feel better because they are looking for blood right now, what does firing Holland right now do to get McLeod to go to the freaking net. Something that has been a knock of his since he was drafted, something he was asked to work when he was in junior and the AHL and the NHL. Something he said last year, he was going to focus on doing better and so far, nothing has change.
|
Reason to fire Holland now would be to not let him make more bad moves that tank things for the next GM. He's already messed the next guy over with Brown's bonus that wipes out our cap increase next year (his bonus could actually be more than the increase if there is a serious recession).
We saw what Chia did when he was panicking his last season. That was an absolute disaster. Kenney can't really be trusted to fix anything at this point, so keeping is far more risky IMO, letting him try to fix his own mess with zero cap space.
