  1. Ken had fans and some non fans……..I think he did as good as expected with the mess that chirelli dumbass left behind. Thanks Ken!

  2. I'll be honest. I truly don't think Jeff liked Ken. He likely respected the work he done, but he's not his guy. Now I say this off the short videos on this channel. But I don't think Ken was Jeffs cup of tea. You can just feel it.
    Good luck Ken – Thanks for the run!

  3. Based on the information provided, I would say that Holloway, McLeod and Broberg are all going to remain with the organization – a win – win!

  4. I am super happy Ken’s time is up. A lot of respect for him for what he did especially for the Detroit organization but his time has passed and his GM strategies doesn’t really work in today’s NHL cap market. He made 2 really good moves which were pointed out in Hyman and Ekholm. He also made some solid signings in Janmark, Kane and the Nuge extension at a reasonable cap hit. The rest of his moves didnt really help the team from trading 2 high picks for Athanasiou, to the albatross Nurse extension, Ceci signing for such a long deal, Jack Campbell, etc. I even thought Warren Foegele at 2.75 was an overpayment at the time for a third line winger

  5. Get ready for the Summer of Ryan Rishaug talking about trading Draisaitl every day. What a bum.

  6. All good organizations have transition plans in place for leadership changes. Jeff seems overwhelmed. They should keep Ken around until they find a new GM. The proof will be in the results.

  7. this jeff jackson guy seems difficult to work for he will destroy the oilers.ken will be missed he did an unbelievable job fixing cherila mistakes

  8. Mattias Ekholm, Zach Hyman, Connor Brown, Mattias Janmark, Warren Foegele, Adam Henrique and Evander Kane, all because of Ken Holland. Thanks Ken.

  9. I have way more faith in Jackson than Holland. Lots of casuals in the chat today who think Jackson will be bad lol. Probably a lot of Holland supporters who really did nothing in his 5 years here other than pull off one Ekky deal. Hyman and Kane were always coming to Edmonton. Other than that he never replaced Nurse-Ceci and it cost us 3 playoffs in a row smh

  10. Twenty minute video here and the media asks the same questions that Jeff already addressed like five times.

  11. Ken Holland is a Money Ball example of the "Halo" effect. In short, his experience and gratificaction was under the Little Caesars empire in Detroit. He was a goalie in the NHL and his first professional mgmt. position was as a Goalie Coach with the Red Wings. Did he make it as a GM for 4 Stanely Cups? Yes, but again, it was a Halo affect for him in Detroit. The hard work was already done by his predecessors. Overall he was a failure for the Oilers and has essentially handcuffed the Oilers from getting a Stanely Cup. Ken, it's time to hang up your goalie skates.

  12. The way Oilers fans turn on Nurse is nasty. How do you think Nurse feels now? Will he bring his best game for people who call him a loser all day?

  13. Congratulations McDavid on Winning The Conn Smythe Trophy 🏆!!
    Keep Up The Great Work !!
    Cheers bro !
    🏆🏒😎👍

  14. Everybody else skips the dishes Pal, but I dont, great job of bringing a Poison Pill called Mumford into the dressing room, a Trojan Horse that derailed everything, Well done indeed. Hope you bring him back again. Moma2 says hi.

  15. I thought Ken did a good job. Pandemic impacted the salary cap in ways no one planned for and lost key pieces to circumstances totally out of his control. Added some brilliant pieces and kept the ship fairly steady through rough waters. Thanks Ken. 👍💙🧡

  16. Jackson will decide who will be the next GM….after he asks McDavid. If Leon is not re-signed by say November everything will start melting down – no rush tho

  17. Just listening to this guy makes me want to gag. Ex Toronto assistant GM who hasn't done a damn thing since 2010… Has never worked with a winning team. In fact, the only actual experience he has is with the Leafs…. A team that for years, has been and still is worse than the Oilers. OEG could hire someone off the streets of Edmonton that could do a better job and I'll stick to that until he proves himself.. But good luck.

  18. One name. One man. There is only one to lead the Oilers to the promised land. The man. The visionary. The pioneer. The architect.

  19. I dunno what it is about this guys, maybe because he's a Lawyer or an ex-agent but he just gives me bad vibes. Hope he doesn't run the ship into the ground.

  20. So…
    you knew Holland wasn't returning and decided to wait the entire season before approaching anybody on your GM target list? Which means going into a draft without a GM, and delaying contract talks with one of our best players (not to mention the rest of our UFAs/RFAs) until you finally do find someone? Which means they will immediately have a ton of contract pressure to deal with in a shortened amount of time.

    JFC. 🤦‍♂

  21. Nurse was a huge mistake, 9.3 for a 3 mil player, other than that he did well, get rid of him, free up a ton of bad money, would make room for needed players…..and seriously any 3-4 mil defenseman easily replaces him
