This signing is just plain stupid! I like the barrie and hyman, but what in the actual f is holland doing with ceci

To be fair to Holland, he's been consistent with what he said in the media availability at the end of the season. He believed that winning teams have lots of gray hair. That's probably not really accurate - Tampa Bay Lightning really don't - Stamkos is 31 and was the third oldest on the team this year behind Maroon (32) and McElhinney (37) - but for some reason he's been pretty fixated on the 2002 Stanley Cup when the pre-salary cap Red Wings had Chelios (39), Larionov (40), Yzerman (36), Hull (37), Robitaille (35), Duchesne (36), Olausson (34) and Dominik Hasek (36).

Now, that was a different era, the team is pretty much an all-star team and was able to spend something like triple what the Oilers of the same year spent, but still - that's the team that most speaks to him. Moreso than the 1997 Cup, which only had Fetisov (38), Murphy (35) and Larionov (35) in that older group.

He's gone out and gotten a lot older fast. I think the fact that the team eschews analytics is shining through - the team looks somewhat better on forward, but that defence looks bad, and do they even have any money left to address goaltending? But it's definitely to Holland's design here. He's put his stamp on the team in a big way. I think it's sub-standard, and probably screws us for the rest of McDavid's time as an Oiler unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong.

"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
