"Over the past five seasons as general manager,
Ken has not only built the Edmonton Oilers into one of the NHL's
best teams, he has also established a deeply rooted foundation
of success and a culture of winning that will continue well into
the future," Jackson said in a statement.
"Thanks in large part to Ken's outstanding work, Edmonton has
become a destination city for players around the National Hockey
League. We wish Ken, Cindi and his entire family the very best
and thank him for his leadership and contributions to the Oilers
organization and the City of Edmonton."
Holland, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020,
narrowly missed winning his fifth Stanley Cup on Monday in
Edmonton's 2-1 loss to the Florida Panthers in Game 7.
Holland, 68, is expected to take some time before deciding on
his next move, per TSN. He has been Edmonton's GM and president
of hockey operations since May 2019.
He worked in the front office of the Detroit Red Wings from
1997-2019, winning Stanley Cup championships there as an
assistant general manager in 1997 and as the GM in 1998, 2002
and 2008.
