Yzerman was in line to be GM in Detroit one day, but Holland wasn’t ready to be ‘promoted’
Yzerman went to Tampa and built the team that won 2 Cups
Holland moved on to Edmonton, and Yzerman went to Detroit
McDavid learns nothing, because it’s not who, it’s what. They don’t get it

Edmonton:
DNA = Do not appreciate

Basically, in terms of winning and transformation, the Oilers don’t get it. Bringing in Holland, who lets McDavid be young Yzerman but brings in long in the tooth Keith

####ing hilarious. What a #### show
Steve will help him figure it out once Holland completes Mission McDetroit and trades McDavid to the Wings (then, gets fired for making such a bad trade and goes back and takes a cushy executive job with the Wings).
