You do realize that both of those deals can be buried in AHL with ZERO cap hit? Man, you are that guy at a party that has to find something to complain about right? The first two round of finger foods were great, but only plain chips and dip for later in the night was a huge fail. Terrible party planning.

But mom, I want my NHL team to have 4 perfect lines and 6 great d! And and and I need great players in the AHL in case anyone gets hurt and and I don't want to lose any games ever!

For the love of hockey, enjoy this run, this team. Ceci is playing like he did with the Pens, Keith is being a responsible D on most occasions. Barrie is coming around. Everything won't be perfect all the time, but that is sports man - chill out and enjoy the show. Holland, like Shapiro and Atkins in Toronto well just get no love from the fans, who wear blinders. Has he made all the perfect moves? No not at all. But it is not near as bad as someone of you make out.

As a fan, I appreciate the hot start. It has been a weak schedule, but they've still done what they needed to do and put the boots to most of the teams they've faced. I hope it continues.

I don't however, think that should blind us (and more importantly management) to the flaws. They are significant, and they are liable to cost us as they have in the past if they aren't addressed.

It is notable that Holland signed pretty much everyone to contracts beyond this year. That's an unforced error in my mind because it locks up contract spots. There's a limit to the number of veteran players you can play in the minors, and really, the minors should be for player development, not as a place to stick all the old mistakes your management made. Also, there's always the fear that they Oilers pull a Gryba and needlessly buy a guy out for "being a good soldier" incurring the cap hit even when they can avoid it.

Keith had his worst game as an Oiler on Friday night. He was dreadful. Ceci wasn't a lot better. The team had an incredible comeback, driven by the great players at the top of the roster (only one of whom was acquired by Holland).

The goal of the team is to win a Stanley Cup, right? Well, then shouldn't the focus be on getting the strongest team possible? Isn't it important to understand your weaknesses as you do that? I think some people believe that to criticize means you aren't enjoying the hockey. I am - I just am capable of also analyzing the team while doing so. I think most in here are, which is why this is a better message board than most.

"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
