As per Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, Ken Holland has one of the best track records of a General Manager in hockey history, having won four Stanley Cups with the Detroit Red Wings and building the Oilers into a power house team.
At the same time, Oilers fans know well that Holland has made his fair share of mistakes which hurt the Oilers - the biggest ones being the contracts for Jack Campbell and Darnell Nurse.
I think it's pretty safe to say that every GM in the NHL has made their fair share of mistakes. But personally, I think Ken Holland did a respectable job as GM of the team.
Last year, he brought the Oilers all the way to game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals, falling one game short of his 5th career Stanley Cup.
Ken Holland was also responsible for signing Zach Hyman, which has been regarded as one of the best free agent signings in NHL history.
Oilers Insider would like to wish Ken Holland the best of luck in his new role with the NHL.
