These numbers don't give me much confidence in Holland and Tippett.
The secret to these numbers is we can't be too hard on players who are slightly negative like Khaira and Draisaitl, Nurse and K. Russell, because that is the nature of being on a crappy team (a decreasing tide sinks all boats), but on the other hand to be the worst players +/- on the team such as Gagner and RNH requires a change. Oilers need to once and for all get rid of RNH and Klefbom. That's the final piece of the puzzle. Of course, they can probably get some good players in exchange with a more positive +/-.
