Maybe ask if it’s a good idea, because the fans were saying stop!

Management needs to change. They have a generational talent that they’re wasting.

And there were Oiler fans that were trying to convince me Ken Holland is a good GM 🤣🤣🤣
AfroGoomba
To be fair they didn’t pay to dump Barrie. They paid to upgrade him to Ekholm.
The rest of it, fair play.

Maybe Ken Holland suffered a traumatic brain injury in Detroit that he has hid since coming to the Oilers? Maybe the tell was him calling Jack Campbell « Yeah, you’ll do great here Ozzie, playing being Nurstrom »?
Why does this guy still have a job?

Imagine willingly agreeing to give Darnell Nurse money to play hockey. Unreal.

As a Canuck fan, after 8 years of benning and damn near a decade in the shitter.
The start of this season has been complete Schadenfreude

Yamamoto is whatever but yeah he stinks

These guys make Glen Sather look like a genius.

And just think, Mount Kane hasn’t even erupted yet (Although some tremors have been felt).

Other than resigning 97 & 29 , have oilers fans like any moves by Ken Holland?
MrSCR23
You left out giving Cody Cici a 4×3 contract

All teams have similar stories, it’s part of the “business”.

Holland should have retired when Dats and Zetts left. The Oilers are so bad right now I feel sorry for their fans. This is coming from the Panthers fan.

I cannot believe Nurse is getting paid that much…even when he was playing his best, he still isn’t worth that much. Just WTF

Ken Holland inherited a dynasty team in Detroit and then let them slowly fall apart over the rest of his career there. He got LUCKY with Datsyuk and Zetterberg that helped make him look okay. He really was detrimental to Detroit….so glad he’s gone.

I know it looks bad on paper, but at least it also looks bad on the ice.

I’m always amazed when watching GMs consistently make just horrible signings and decisions. It’s like there is some sort of aspect of negotiations I’m unaware of or something for such mistakes to happen so often for certain GMs
okokokoyeahright
So … you are saying Nurse is gone by Monday then?
ParsnipOlliwane
I’m an Oiler fan and for the last couple weeks it is nothing but threads shitting on the Oilers…and I’m completely ok with that. They deserve it all.

That Nurse contract is brutal…

Nurse has to be the most overrated defenseman in the league. He’s paid comparatively to franchise defensemen like Makar, Fox and McAvoy and yet he’s a bottom 4 defenseman at best.
cheezturds
Didn’t learn his lessons from Detroit post salary cap era. Kenny is a dumbass.
Calling__Elvis
The amount of shit Yzerman had to clean up after him in DET was indicative of what was to come for the poor Oilers.
Really good meme btw. Having Kenny in the first two pictures totally worked for me.
Also consider adding Cody « where’s the f***** puck » Ceci. He got 4 years of $3M for is services…

Out of this list, the Yamamoto one was the correct call.

It takes real skill to tank with McDraisaitvid
Diamondback424
Oiler fans keep telling me how the team is good and not just McDavid and Draisaitl
Rudmonton
Seen so many oilers fans say it’s purely the goaltending. They gotta acknowledge that they have a team that simply isn’t structured well and its chickens have come home to roast.

Tbh i was glad he left the wings

Holland isn’t built for cap era.

Now you know what us Wings fans had to put up with…
