And hey, some of what he says is correct. The Oilers were out of the playoffs when the team sacked Chiarelli (who holds huge responsibility for the terrible finish to 2018 and 2019). And Holland DID add Ekholm and Hyman who are both big contributors.
|
I stopped crapping on Holland for his lack of work, BUT I still have a hard time giving him too much credit for Hyman. He didn't turn him away, but, from everything we've heard, Hyman choose Edmonton all by himself.
No different than Kane and Perry. Kane pretty well had no where else to go and I'm not sure too many other teams were lining up to get Perry earlier this year either.
|
Holland being highest bidder for a hyped UFA is definitely just his thing. he sank the red wings doing the same, and unfortunately never hit a Hyman. If you just keep high bidding though, eventually you get a hit! He shouldn't be bragging about Lucic/Neal as why he could afford Hyman. He should be thanking Markstrom for not taking his highest bid the summer before :)
Kane/Perry were desperation moves to make up for his run of weak GMing. He's one of the only guys willing to do it partially because he's one of the only guys that is so desperate to try to add something to our lineup any way possible, any mental blocks because of morals/decency out the window.
|
I think he could have done more up to this point - his excuse when he got here was he was handcuffed by Chiarelli's mess, and as soon as he got some space he pissed it all away.
His failures IMO: Not addressing goaltending a few years ago. Running Smith and Koskinen 4 years in a row was absolutely ridiculous. Not singing Bouchard to a longer deal. Nurse's contract.
I am happy he finally started using draft picks while we are in a win now mode to try to bolster the team. Ekholm last year was obviously a great addition (though the 4% retention was lame). A 1st for Henrique this year? Pretty expensive compared to the rest of the market IMO - looking at the other returns for 1st round picks, Henrique is a bit underwhelming, but he definitely is a welcome addition. If we win the Cup, this turns into a homerun (I think he is a big part of this roster right now)
The really good deals - well Hyman is being lauded as arguably the greatest UFA signings in history. Both in terms of fit and cap hit, he was a grand slam. Way better than I expected. Extending RNH at his number also a huge win IMO. A 100+ point season, over 1PPG in these playoffs, and playing some of the best end to end hockey in his career.
So I think he could have done better, but we've had worse than him.
