[OldDutch]

Oilers: So what you got cooking on the GM front for us this summer Kenny?
Holland: Actually I was just about to leave, got me a new job in Chi
Oilers: umm what? We just made it to game 7 the window is wide open with two longer term superstars!
Holland: ya no thanks, sorry my Uber is here
Oilers: well guess its agreed then we both want different things. Time to crack us some frothy KLowe! Hello summer!

I hope it's true. Also hoping drai and mcdavid leave as well so that they know how the flames felt after losing their best players and gm leaving them in cap hell.

Now he doesn't have to be the one to look bad for losing them.

"I got the team to the cup and the guy who took over lost the two best players!" - Future Ken Holland, probably.

Good bet Mark Hunter will be the next Oilers GM.

About 10 years ago he was in the mix for the Toronto job, then for some odd reason his name never popped up and he was apparently content in London. I could see why he'd want to be the GM of the best player in the world but that teams' cap balance is heavily weighted at the top and will continue getting more challenging.

Not Hunter the mascot?

I've have heard from my contacts that the Oilers are zeroing on Dave Brown as their next GM
