Daniel Nugent-Bowman of The Athletic (Q&A): Again, what constitutes a successful offseason for the Edmonton Oilers? It depends on who one asks. Ken Holland remaking the front office and getting ready for the draft has been a challenge. Yet, there is so much more still to do.
A few constructs were of note. Connor McDavid appears fine. Dave Tippett coaches the team and makes decisions (Leon Draisaitl and McDavid). Finally, buyouts are still a possibility.
Jesse Puljujarvi remains a big question. Will he still be an Oiler?
