Literally depends on the circumstances. Like Babcock, he needs to be given the right scenario to succeed. 22 hours ago, Scott R Lucidi said: Yup. Holland is the biggest GRAVY TRAINER of all time. Devellano drafts an all star team. Lidstrom, Konstantinov, Fedorov, Kozlov, Holmstrom, etc. Bowman and Devellano bring in Larionov, Fetisov, Murphy, Shanahan, etc. Brian Murray traded for Draper. Ken Holland deserves credit for not totally screwing anything up until the Filip Zadina pick, but he doesn't deserve more than 1/2 a percent of the credit for any of our cup wins. Those were all orchestrated by others. He just had the GM title at the time. This Oilers team was orchestrated by Gary Bettman giving the Oilers (4) 1OA's in 7 years with a couple other top 10 picks sprinkeld in. Ken Holland walks his way into the GM position on that team right when their stars are all maturing. He brought in Evander Kane. Wooooo. Big maneuver there. What a genius. Right place, Right time. Story of Ken Holland's life. He's a bum. Gravy Trainin Regard. I do believe that the KH hate over the years was overblown. The streak was a mandate so I don't even blame him for stretching it out for as long as he did. And I don't think he is a BAD GM. He is just better as a tinkerer than as a builder/rebuilder. 1 kliq reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately he didn’t do a good enough job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always like the Oilers. But that gravy trainer going to the Oil has me wanting any other team in the league to win. He has next to zero to do with their success. His drafting has been mediocre. His trading has been mediocre. But he lucked his way onto a team with McClurevid. Wish I could take over as GM of the teams he gets. 1 Rick D reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
