Mark Spector of Sportsnet: Going from the lower half to the upper half in the standings is easier than moving into a more elite company. That is the lesson the Edmonton Oilers keep learning the hard way.
Ken Holland has issues to fix. Goaltending is the main one as Mike Smith and Mikko Koskinen cannot hold up over an 82-game schedule. Right?
Mike Smith signing a one-year deal is fine. Mikko Koskinen still being in Edmonton come October is not. Now, does one buy Koskinen out or find a trade partner somehow?
