I’d get on the “fire Tippett” train but as Pi said in the other thread it won’t fix things. Team needs a miracle trade to offload salary and bring in talent. Holland doesn’t have the skill to fleece somebody so that means mortgaging the future.

The counter point is that they're going to give Holland a coaching change at some point as a free pass. If we get that over with now, then it's one less bullet left in his gun. The problem is that the Oilers aren't going to do wholesale changes at season's end - it's not in the franchise's DNA to actually address problems - so get the obvious first move out of the way.
It's likely to be Babcock, because all of them (Holland, Lowe, Nicholson) have lots of history with him, they probably think an old school guy like that needs a second chance and got a raw deal in Toronto, and they almost always defer to big name that happens to be available. They'll rightly get roasted for doing it but they'll think it's making the tough choices and all the Edmonton sports guys who currently are working double time defending Holland and Tippett will jump on board immediately. They'll talk up how much he's a "proven winner" and he'll "hold the players accountable."
That feels inevitable, so why wait for summer to hire him?

Because if they wait till summer they don’t have to fire Tippett as his contract expires at the end of this season.
I’d rather see a return of MacT.
