Hollands first move to make this off-season?
The Edmonton Oilers' General Manager, Ken Holland, has a lot on his plate this off-season as he aims to transform the team into a fine-tuned machine that can win the coveted Stanley Cup. However, the question of where to begin remains a topic of debate among fans.
While some believe that the team's goal-tending situation needs attention, Holland has made it clear that he will not be focusing on that area.
Many fans have also suggested that Darnell Nurse be traded, but despite his slight decline in offensive output and recent defensive improvements, he remains a core part of the team, as confirmed by Connor McDavid.
Therefore, that idea has been dismissed.
As for the cap situation, there have been suggestions that Cody Ceci and Kailer Yamamato could be traded. Yamamato may benefit from a fresh start, while Ceci has not been working out for the team.
The right side of the defense needs to be addressed, whether by acquiring assets or a cheaper defenseman with more grit. These two areas are the glaring holes that Holland should start with during the off-season.
