Holland says the time is now for the OIlers to be contenders

Congrats fans, you made it to the finish line! Or at least the starting line! Possibly the dressing room. Still, at least we're in the building! Maybe.

I will say, on this original story - I actually DO appreciate Ken Holland saying this and actually finally putting pressure on the team and himself to perform and start delivering to reasonable expectations. I've been very critical for most of the last decade of the Oilers continued hedging of bets in all management statements due to a paralyzing fear of saying something that their feet could actually be held to the fire on later.

I don't think Holland did a great job this summer in putting the team in position to best answer his challenge, based on some of his blunders on defence, goaltending, and cap management - but I still think there's a responsibility on the management to say that we're going for it and then to act accordingly - so credit where credit is due. Old Dutch did this right at least!

"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
