This offseason has been a goddamn nightmare

Created by: BeterChiarelli
Team: 2021-22 Edmonton Oilers
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 22, 2021
Published: Jul. 22, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Very not serious. Tongue-in-cheek worst-case-Ontario projection given Holland's track record. I'm praying to every god in the book that this isn't what Holland is trying to do.

He's a bad GM and the Oilers' window for winning with McDavid is closing faster than it's opening.

    Yeah, I don't think you'll have to send Bear for Hyman's rights.

    Just in case you really want to though, TOR accepts.

    I never thought I’d see a team add Barrie, Ristolainen and Keith to try to build a winning team lmao.

    I don't think it should cost more than a 4th but this organization hates good players and Holland just overpays for everything. Literally having fever dreams about him trading Bear or Bouchard for an 8-year Hyman.

    There is something in the water at Oilers HQ. Just insanity all the time.

    Hey, if you don’t mind sending Bouchard over we’ll take him!

    I mean, if they really hate good players that much, I know who they can send over.

    I'd literally quit watching hockey if Dubas can bend Holland over that far.

    Wait until the luxury cap is a thing, then you guys can afford him at a discount.

    You cannot say that with outright confidence knowing this management. They just gave up Jones and a maybe second for Keith which forced them to lose Larsson. They're actively pursuing bad players or overpaying decent ones (Hall barely makes more than Hyman will and is literally twice the player). Stuff of nightmares.

    Again, I don't think it should cost more than a 4th but this organization hates good players and will fall head-over-heels to add via subtraction.

    Nothing about acquiring Keith caused them to lose Larsson. They've been negotiating with Larsson for months and even offered him 5 years - he didn't leave because of money and I don't think Keith did anything to piss him off.

    The Oilers went from being on the cusp of signing Larsson to him walking away for less than what Holland offered (I think Edmonton went as high as $4.25M) in a matter of weeks. The only thing that's happened between yesterday and then was the Keith trade.

    Rampant speculation but my gut feeling is Larsson felt betrayed and completely disinterested in having to drag Keith's broken corpse around the ice for the next two seasons. It was a horrible trade and everyone beyond the Oilers management can see that: I don't believe that excludes the players. Larsson had a chance to jump ship because the Oilers are again aimless. I fully believe we lost Adamn to that trade. Without a doubt.
