I also think that his playing style will complement either Draisaitl or McDavid, regardless of where they choose to put him. The problem is obviously the back half of the deal. Can you LTIR someone for five years?
2. Despite what I just said, we thought the same thing about the Clarkson, Eriksson, Lucic, etc etc deals. "This will be fine for a few years, but the back half of it is going to get ugly".
It wasn't fine for a few years. It got ugly quick. I look forward to more of the same in this case.

I think Holland knows he has a very limited window to please McDavid and draisaitl. It really doesn’t matter to him how screwed the team will be in 4 years or even 2 years because I think he only has 1-2 years to get results that please the superstars. The trade requests will likely be made public by then and the music stops anyways.
Also why he won’t care about buying out both koskinen and Neal. It hurts the oilers in the long run but that doesn’t matter. He’ll likely buy out both of them and then overpay for Andersson in goal. He doesn’t care.
