There is plenty to digest from the information we have received in the past couple of days. The main pieces have been set; for (hopefully) the long term future the Oilers will be run by Ken Holland as GM and Dave Tippett as coach. There is a long time between now and the start of the 2019/2020 season but fans have reason to feel optimistic once more. Here are my big takeaways thus far on what Dave Tippett can bring to the Oilers.
1.) Tippett Is A Smart Guy
This isn’t to say that previous coaches for Edmonton have not been intelligent individuals.
