I’ll buy a bottle of whiskey for whichever member of the media who asks Ken Holland a real legitimate hard question about his recent overpays and why he lacked the analysis to know they were bad signings. Follow up on how how he plans to catch the Oilers up analytically.
There is two…. TWO ways this breaks down and it will tell us all.
Either A) Nicholson heard from so many candidates they all have to go and choose the most experienced guy he trusted to do it in Holland.
or B) Nicholson found his most trusted friend to keep status quo.

Does anyone else think hiring Ken Holland is a little like Chiarelli?
Like Chiarelli Holland has won it all (more than once) but he has also put the Wings in a bad spot cap wise like Chiarelli did in Boston and Edmonton.
I think Holland is a smart man but I see similarities.

#Flames: hired Arizona’s AGM with history of making things work with no resources.
Oilers: going to hire Detroit’s old GM, despite not being able to make cap work in a decade.
Cool.
