Oilers fans are back to the same strategy that created this current mess. If the Oilers miss the playoffs, how much longer will Draisaitl and McDavid stick around?
Hahahahaha!!!!

Well...they should fire Nicholson and Holland, I'd agree with that. But unless you hire Bettman himself to be your GM and he gives them some sort of 'Salary Cap Hall Pass' and forces a few trades that team is going to be garbage.

Hire Joe Sakic? How do you plan that? You going to kidnap and ransom his kids? Because otherwise his answer is going to be a hard 'No.'

Thats like trying to get Holland to use every scrap of dirt and blackmail he has on Yzerman to force him to GM the Oilers. Just before you fire him....presumably via Skype.

In this day and age, after the Pandemic and everything thats come after it, the Oilers firing someone over Skype is so 'on brand' and hilarious.

"Yes, we fired him over Skype..."

- "What's 'Skype' Grandpa?"

"You see kids, in the before-times, before the 'great illness' there was this thing where people could video-conference with each other so they wouldnt have to be in the same room."

- "Kind of like Teams or Zoom?"

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
