Learn2LuvIt 245 Report post Posted May 10, 2019 Heard Holland on the radio this morning. Today, he sounded like the whole notion of him being the architect and making the Stevie Y thing happen was posturing and BS. Paraphrasing, but he made a comment along the lines of: The Ilitches made it clear that this was a distinct possibility (bringing Stevie in as GM), with this being a possibility he felt it was time for time to step aside, and the Illitches made him a fantastic offer. A few weeks ago when the announcement was made, there was some press hype that this was Kenny idea from the start, and he was proactive in making this happen and was pushing for this to become a reality. IMO-Didn't sound that way this morning and I sensed in his voice that he wasn't jumping for joy throughout this whole process. Probably really happy for Steve and wishes him and the Wings the best, but I think the press MAY have gotten out of their lane a bit on reporting this.

Would have been more classy to stay on with the Wings. People forget. We're not just losing Holland (who would've a great asset to the team) but he's taking other staff with him as well. He not just leaving, he's basically poaching too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you imagine being at your place of employment for as long as he has, and for the most part regarded quite highly by your peers/rivals only for the 'prodigal son' to return? Maybe this was the plan all along, but if not - I have a ton of respect for how Kenny handled it, and best of luck in Edmonton.

I cannot imagine taking my job 100% seriously while also facilitating bringing in someone else in to take my job. Now make me GM of the whole company and gimme 20+ years with that company, I can't imagine.

Never_Retire_Steve 35 Report post Posted May 11, 2019 Thankful for the 20+ years that Kenny gave this organization but really happy to see him go. It's really too bad that he's going to the Oilers though because that's also one of my favorite teams to watch due to McDavid and now I'm terrified that he's going to ruin the prime of this generation's greatest player.

I just get the feeling that deep down Holland wanted to die a Red Wing. I would too in his position.

There's no way he can do worse than Chia. I think people will be surprised with Holland's handling of Edmonton in a good way. I think he needed a fresh start as much as the Red Wings did. 2 krsmith17 and F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Holland’s biggest fault was he was here too long; he got sentimental. I’m sure ownership pushed their agendas, but I don’t think Holland fought it. You look at the signings as time went on, it’s clear his heart and head were at battle. It scares me a little to wonder what Holland might do without all the history and sentiment to cloud his judgment. I honestly think he’ll be great in Edmonton.

Exactly I think the desire by ownership to continue the streak is the underlying ill in most of this. Everyone who despises Holland really just wishes he would have started rebuilding sooner, and the streak is what kept him from doing that. When he finally got the green light to rebuild he was awesome again. Oilers have explicitly said he has full reign in Edmonton. So it's up to him if he wants to go for it or retool/rebuild. I expect good things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted May 11, 2019 I liked Holland right up until the point I finally realized that he was just sitting in the right chair at the right time. Devellano, Andersson, Nill, and Bowman made the Red Wings great. Holland proficiently spent money until the cap era began. Then he inefficiently spent money.
