Reading through HFOil, there are two sentiments
Tippett might need to go, he's mishandled the lines and has lost control of Connor who supposedly refuses to let Tippett reunite the DRY line. He's also lost in terms of best using the talent available to him.
Holland is taking heat because all of his new aquisitions are completely sucking and the Blueline is awful.
There's a conspiracy theory now that Conna is doing more coaching then playing, and making the lineup decisions. He's also unhappy with the fact that he has no good wingers.
In all but one game, McDavid has been pretty much non existant to awful. It doesn't help that when he's not scoring he'sliterally a detriment on the ice.
Draisaitl hasn't looked great, he's had some flashes, but he looks disconnected.
JP's start has shown that he's exactly what we thought he was, he doesn't have the hockey smarts of an NHL player.
The opinions on Bear and Jones have varied widely. from they're both awful, to its not their fault
The Oiler fans opinions on Nurse are extremely harsh. But he has been tremendously bad as the teams number 1 defenseman. Bring in Bouchard they scream
Its not Koskinen's fault for the most part, he's been abandoned by the team. Holland needs to take heat for a bad goaltending situation.
Some fans believe that this team is way too talented to be this bad and its merely a slow start. Some are sadly realizing that this isn't a good lineup.
So to summarize, Holland is on the hot seat. Tippett must go, Conna is doing too much meddling, Drai looks bad, the blueline is awful and Bouchard needs to go in, and its not Koskinen's fault.
Awesome.
