Description
Ken Holland is the least ambitious GM and should be fired for lacking boldness. Instead of trying to resign Bouchard, you should trade him while he’s hot. Shed some cap, and bring in some better players. Get another goalie, and upgrade your defence, add something better than Connor Brown to the offence. Edmonton has never been more desirable for FA’s. These moves are all plausible and can be done with some creativity and finesse. Unfortunately, the Oilers GM doesn’t have it and is lazy in trying to create a strong team. Even though he has the pieces and tools to make a championship team. Imagine having Mcdavid and Draisaitl at 20 million and not being able to build a winning team around them. Hopefully, Ken Holland can see this and realize he can do so much better. Skinner and Campbell, is that really the tandem you want to go into next season with?? Do you really want to go into next season with the same defence core as last season?? Cody Ceci and Evan Bouchard on the top 4 is not going to cut it. You need more size and grit too. This team needs a Matt Martin type player more than they need a Connor Brown type player.

I wouldn’t let you build a roller hockey team for 10 year olds much less the Oilers.

I’d certainly do a far better job than Holland and Chiarelli

No you wouldn't. Bouchard has played better than Dobson so what's the point of that swap besides losing team chemistry? Kane isn't signing that low and definitely isn't signing in Edmonton of all places. Martin does absolutely nothing for Edmonton as well so no point in that islanders trade at all besides making Edmonton worse. I love Hart and he's worth more than Skinner but the goal is to win right now and he just has not proven he's that much better than Skinner over the past two seasons. You've made the d-core much worse, goaltending is the exact same, and the forward group is also worse?? Holland has crafted a team that gave the cup champs their best series last year.

This team is much worse.
