Ken Holland May Restore Trust in Fans After This Trade
Ken Holland, the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, has gained a reputation for pursuing older players past their prime to add veteran experience.
This approach has frustrated fans, reminiscent of his time with the Red Wings. However, there may be a shift in strategy as Holland reportedly shows interest in two players under 30 from the Philadelphia Flyers: Travis Konecny and Scott Laughton.
Laughton, under the hard-nosed coaching of John Tortorella, recorded 18 goals and 25 assists last season, while Konecny showcased his scoring ability with 31 goals in just 60 games.
Holland's pursuit of younger talent indicates a potential change in his approach.
