Right now, focus should be on bolstering the roster as much as possible the first 4 years for playoff runs.
I still think Holland spent in the wrong place though. Oilers are already one of the highest scoring teams in the league with a lethal powerplay. Why do they need to spend more on scoring when it's defence and 5 on 5 play that's their weakness? They need a stronger defence, not more offence.

Because as seen in playoffs if you can shut down Mcdavids line there’s no other answer.
Hyman helps 5 on 5 too.
