Bringing him on as GM is a pure Oiler move.
Out of touch and out of time. Holland’s strength during the cap years in Detroit was getting stars to take less and set an internal cap structure to build collective team strength. Lidstrom, Hossa, etc.
He was the guy they needed to negotiate Connor & Leon’s contract.
Now he’s being exploited for his inability to direct money where it’s needed. Kassian’s contract is a perfect example.
