I don't think questioning him is overboard. The season isn't lost.
It is way too easy to blame Chiarelli for this when really these are largely Holland transactions. Jurco, Haas, Nygard, Sheahan, Granlund, and an expensive Chiasson all have 1 goal total and were all of his additions. 8 wins on the back of McDavid and Draisaitl don't absolve him of what looks to be even worse depth than the record setters last year. Lack of cap space isn't much of an argument, that group doesn't make much and is replaceable.
The question is, do we see this getting better? Probably a bit, but I think this is much less about bad luck and more about bad players.

Nothing wrong with questioning Holland or anyone else associated with this team and its track record of failure. I’m just saying that it’s not fair to pin guys like Khaira on him since they were sucking here long before he showed up. It’s also fair to bring up the fact that Pistol Pete bent this team over and rammed them hard with the cap-space stick which meant that Holland had almost nothing to work with where it came to bolstering the scoring depth of this team. If anything, Holland managed to pull some magic off when he somehow bamboozled his way into trading away Loo’s contract.
I certainly agree that I’d like to see him make some more moves sooner than later, because he surely can’t have been fooled by the team’s start to the season into thinking that nothing needs to be fixed. Yamamoto among others should be given a shot, because there is no way that he could be worse unless he actively shot pucks at his own net during games.
