Islanders Eye New Leadership: Is Ken Holland the Answer?
The New York Islanders recently announced that Lou Lamoriello will no longer serve as their general manager, sparking speculation about who will take the job over.
Hockey insider for TSN Darren Dreger fueled the conversation by naming former Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland as a potential candidate in a post on social media.
As the Islanders move on from the massive experience of Lou Lamoriello, it will be interesting to see the list John Collins puts together. Ken Holland is eager to work again, but has made it clear he wouldn't take someone's jobthere has to be a vacancy. Big opening now.
At 69, Holland is reportedly ready to return to an NHL front office.
After a successful tenure with the Edmonton Oilers, where he helped build a competitive roster, he transitioned to a consulting role with the NHL's Hockey Operations Department.
His track record including four Stanley Cup championships with Detroit proves his ability to build winning teams and reach playoff contention.
