The Oilers and Ken Holland move on | Oilersnation Everyday with Tyler Yaremchuk

The Edmonton Oilers and general manager Ken Holland agreed to mutually part ways this morning. It had been rumoured for a while that the future of Holland was in jeopardy but today it was made official.
After five seasons, Holland helped guide the Oilers to five straight playoff appearances and was one win away from winning the Stanley Cup. With that said, how would you grade his tenure as the Oilers general manager? Do you give him a passing grade despite not winning the Cup?
Tyler Yaremchuk and Liam Horrobin will dive into the Holland news and more on Oilersnation Everyday. They'll go live on the Oilersnation KZbin channel along with the recent of the Oilersnation social media channels. Want your thoughts on the show? Leave your questions, comments and concerns in the Charm Diamond Centres KZbin live chat throughout the program. Tyler and Liam strongly encourage you to interact with them on the show and the rest of the Nation Citizens in the chat.
Frank Seravalli will join the guys on the show today too. With Frank, they'll talk about the Holland departure and who could be in the running to take his spot. Additionally, they'll chat about free agency and where the Oilers could shop this summer.

Ken said it himself he was not gonna resign in his last year of his contract

[@jamesburrows5404]

Ken Holland is a Money Ball example of the "Halo" effect. In short, his experience and gratificaction was under the Little Caesars empire in Detroit. He was a goalie in the NHL and his first professional mgmt. position was as a Goalie Coach with the Red Wings. Did he make it as a GM for 4 Stanely Cups? Yes, but again, it was a Halo affect for him in Detroit. The hard work was already done by his predecessors. Overall he was a failure for the Oilers and has essentially handcuffed the Oilers from getting a Stanely Cup. Ken, it's time to hang up your goalie skates.

You don't jack. Holland drafted all those players that won in detroit.

Glen Sather was the best coach and GM the Oilers have ever had. Paul Coffey became something of a Prima Donna, Sather had to get rid of him and the Oilers didn't miss a step. Was forced to lose Gretzky and the Oilers still managed to win another Cup without Gretzky or Coffey. Managing a team full of superstars with big egos is not the dream job everyone thinks it is. And Sather was famous for second chancing players like Ken Linseman, Peter Klima, and Bernie Nichols. Certainly the best built offensive hockey team of all-time, regardless of era.

Vancouver has small forwards, it’s part of why they signed him, hope they screwed up

[@davidandersgage-pd3kr]

Skinner can score but he is small….

[@gordtulk]

Kane signing was terrible v

[@davidandersgage-pd3kr]

The Detroit thing got really old……..he said he had never changed coaches during the year , I said “ this is Edmonton , very different in Canada “ that proved correct as he did , two coaching changes , during the year ,, so I h for his Detroit nonsense…..lol

[@iron-farmer]
