Holland was removed from his role as GM of the Red Wings, because it was deemed he wasn't doing a good enough job. One could argue that he was allowed to stay on as GM for years as a result of his past accomplishments and not his future.
Most Detroit fans will tell you that they wanted this years ago.
will Holland be able to right the ship in Edmonton? Its tough to say, but I don't think one can argue that Detroit didn't see him as the solution there, despite having 4 rings.
that says a lot imo
