  1. Jesse is a top bottom 6 defensive minded forward that lacks ability to finish.

    When he accepts that as a fact and agrees to salary that's along that line, he will have a meaningful nhl career

  2. Oilers fans 5 years ago: Chiarelli is stupid making panic trades, selling off draft picks for players who can't score, he needs to be fired!

    Oilers fans now: Holland isn't making stupid panic trades and selling off draft picks for players who can't score, he needs to be fired!

  3. Glad Holland wanted him to stay. Definitely earned it with defensive abilities. Keeping the puck out of your net is worth some money and I dont think 3M was too much to ask. Chychrun or Ekholm helps more than him right now so maybe, HUGE maybe, hes back when hes not qual'd for <2M

  4. Carolina is a heck of a program …. JP may well fulfill his potential over there with Brind'amor. They run a tighter ship than Edmonton dotting I's and crossing T's. Entire lines are on the same page. Far more cohesive and consistent. No urgency problems.

  5. Good riddance!
    Jesse the P… and the nonexistent hockey IQ
    Entitlements, pouting, going back to Sweden and switching jersey #.

  6. I'd rather would have seen Yamamoto traded first before Jesse…..Now we go look for "2" 3rd / 4th liner (which we needed before this trade ) who are around 6-3 220 lbs….This doesnt make sense! We got smaller and weaker imo!

  7. All the writers are trying to get Kenny to come out and say "I didn't care who we got back, they needed a contract off their books to take him on so that's the contract we got"

  8. Getting rid of of Cap space on a few players to get Erik Karlsson a Real Defenseman with senior Experience and Depth. A Push for the Cup this Year and Karlsson Already said he would NOT USE his NTC for Edmonton. My Dream trade for Edmonton Oilers especially for Cup contention this year maybe a couple more. I wish Mr. Holland had better interview Speaking Skills though stop Stuttering and fumbling his words, it really gets on my nerves. Besides The Edmonton Oilers need more professional skills on the Mic when interviewing him. Not sure about Ken Holland Yet as most Fans are in the same boat, he Reminds me of Mr.Magoo when being interviewed though lol.

  9. Holland doesn't need to do these media availabilities. He knows what he is doing and is vague and holds his card close to his chest as a display that he isn't desperate. Something is coming I hope!

  10. Traded a LOT of assets for Ekholm. Hope he helps the porous defense. I was expecting Nashville to retained more than 4% of his salary. Now, can you trade Campbell for a real NHL goalie??

  11. From what I understood, there were teams waiting to claim Jeese on waivers and we would not get any return. At least we got this new guy. Not saying he's a steal or may even play, but there is always a chance. There is potential. With Jesse, it sounded like he was out one way or another. Now we have a new chip to deal.

  12. 2 first this draft is so deep, Schaefer a younger Kane, and he just gave away Berry your PP quarterback Connor mcdavid's friend you are out to wreck our organization aren't you Kenny.

  13. As a Canes fan I have looked at Jesse for years and honestly felt that the Oilers may have mishandled him. I don't see that happening when he gets to our org – better late than never I guess.

  14. He sure delivered on that Ekholm trade. A minute eating, shutdown D that's good in transition, can play both the left and right side.

  15. All I can say is, how many games could the Oilers of won had he been able to produce. Personally, he's been a weight, not only to himself, but to the team

  16. This entire interview is a joke, Holland sounds like shadow of himself. They screwed up handeling Jesse and he has to wash it clean.

  17. Who we linked to now I never ever heard of ekholm rumours at all yamo is next

  18. Mark Spector is CRINGE. I can't stand listening to any of his questions.
