Did Oilers GM Ken Holland do enough? We'll have that answer by June

Edmonton Oilers GM Ken Holland discussed why it was a priority for him to get a top-4 defensive defenceman at the deadline, the differences between Tyson Barrie and newly acquired Mattias Ekholm, and why he wanted to change the team's identity.

Spec bostonpizza Oilers will go as far as McDavid can take them

Spec bostonpizza His patience with his current roster , and moves such as Kostin, Kane and Foegele, are understated. He sees the long term bigger impact, from player development from players such as Bouchard, Broberg, McLeod, Holloway, Skinner, Desharnais.

Spec bostonpizza how about you unblock the Oilers game and get a customer service system that actually does their jobs. Your Computer Science guys need help

Spec bostonpizza He did OK ...👍👍

Spec bostonpizza They have Ekholm for this year and THREE more Spec.

Spec bostonpizza Maybe the Predators would have accepted Yamamoto/ Cecei and a first without retaining or a combination with Bouchard without Schaffer

Spec bostonpizza Anyone notice on many Sportsnet articles like power ranking or in this case, Ryan Dixon’s trade deadline winners and losers article, most teams get a well thought out multi paragraph explanation of their deadline. Oilers get “ekhlom is on the back 9 but he’s what they wanted”

Spec bostonpizza Good enough to win the Cup

Spec bostonpizza Might be enough for conference final. Team on paper is better now. Can they make the Cup finals. Yes but in saying that. If play Boston or Canes or Leafs or Lighting or even rangers or devils. So the answer is no Holland didn’t do enough.

Spec bostonpizza Yes, should have gone all in, West is wide open and only a few more chances with 29 and 97

Spec bostonpizza No he did not do enough. He painted himself into a corner knowing he had zero cap by not mimoving some players earlier to 1 be able to circa full roster and B having zero cap on deadline day.

Spec bostonpizza I think we will get more defensive help in the summer!

Spec bostonpizza IMO FOR NOT HAVEING ANY CAP SPACE AND NOT DESTROY the future too much like some teams he did really good!

Spec bostonpizza the team strategy is mcdavid gets 6p or lose...hard to really do anything with that.

Spec bostonpizza I just sat on tv for 7 hours talking about absolutely nothing. Said every sports anchor today.

Spec bostonpizza Spector detected opinion rejected

Button and Pierre LeBrun also discuss why they like the trade from Ottawa's perspective. They clearly didn't want to take a contract butthead Wtf hahah. Ekholm plays tough mins, Chychrun was sheltered for a trade. Arizona played themselves, asked too much and didn’t come down until every other party was out Takes like this is why Craig isn't still a GM 🤡🤡🤡
