@30G30N An aging Detroit team that everyone clowns Holland for due to poor contracts and terrible drafting. Or a young Leafs team that he took out of a rebuild.
The guy can coach look at the wins/losses column
@JasonGregor Pretty blatant cherry picking stats.
Took TOR out of a rebuild with the young core there before they moved onto Keefe. Lack of playoff success is a concern but some teams just need a push. FLA moved on from Brunnette a presidents trophy winning coach to Maurice.
@Bob_Stauffer@EdmontonOilers The team is a step behind on everything, nothing has changed from gm 1 regarding strategy.
Hard rim is not there yet 9/10 attempts are going wall despite hard pinches from ANA.
No counter to their speed. The coach deserves heavy criticism
@BlueBullet1981 Trading for Savoie was a good move, but shouldn’t have come at the expense of McLeod.
In hindsight Holloway for Savoie would have been better asset management considering how things eventually played out.
@JasonGregor Braden Schneider every other answer is wrong.
Can’t make most of those cap hits work and the others aren’t 2RD. Unless EDM has a trick up its sleeve to move out major money there are limited to whatever they can clear via waivers.
@Wiese12@OilersNation Worst part about this whole conversation is had they not prioritized Rico, J Skinner and Ardvisson they could have retained a combination of Holloway Foegele Brown Perry and McLeod.
@NateInVegas Fair, I don’t see 93 & 18 on a 3rd line at their cap hits being an issue. So long as they are covered via production from Savoie, Howard and co. Or by acquisition.
No argument on the D, can they replace Ekholm with younger guy to pair with 2?
