Many expected the Edmonton Oilers to be busy this offseason, though you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who would have predicted the moves general manager Ken Holland has made thus far.
The first big move came when he was able to re-sign Ryan Nugent Hopkins to a very team-friendly eight-year, $41 million deal. While fans were quite happy about this move, they weren’t nearly as impressed with the one that followed, as the Oilers acquired Duncan Keith (and his entire salary) in exchange for Caleb Jones and a third-round pick.
