Ken Holland's Tenure as Oilers GM
As Ken Holland enters the final months of his time as Edmonton's general manager, it's a good time to take a look at his tenure with the team. Holland joined the Oilers in 2019 after a long and successful career with the Detroit Red Wings. In his first two seasons as general manager of the Oilers, Holland was unable to use his biggest strength, which is his ability to identify and acquire undervalued talent, due to the salary cap restraints and poor contracts he inherited from his predecessor, Peter Chiarelli. He has also been criticized for his handling of the Jesse Puljujarvi situation.
Despite these challenges, Holland has made some positive moves as Oilers general manager. He signed Connor McDavid to a long-term contract extension and acquired Tyson Barrie and Evan Bouchard, two young defensemen with a lot of potential. He also hired Dave Tippett as head coach, and Tippett has helped the Oilers improve their defensive play and become a more competitive team.
It's still too early to say whether Holland will be a successful general manager in Edmonton. However, he has a proven track record of success in Detroit, and he has made some positive moves in Edmonton. The Oilers are a young team with a lot of potential, and if Holland can continue to make smart moves, he could help them become a contender for the Stanley Cup.
