Staples is so awful, and frankly stupid. The Journal really should be embarrressed that he writes for them.

How in the frack does Edmonton get a win here at all.

Turris is a cast off and has been trash for at least a couple of years, he's also playing on their third line but is a defensive deficit. JP, they put a lot of hype on a guy who played "well" in the equivalent of a beer league on large ice. Barrie, the last thing they needed was another defensively poor Blueliner that can't be trusted to take regular 5v5 and Smith, he looked done last year, and still got over paid.

The Oilers are a non playoff team that at best treaded water. But I think got worse, taking out Klefbom and replacing him with Barrie is really lopsided on the negative side. A one year deal does nothing for them.

Hollands plan was desperation, nothing more.
