A little info on the Koekkoek story:

Former Oilers defenseman reveals the words from Ken Holland that ended his career

He played in two seasons with the Oilers, only a total of 37 games, before calling it a career.

The article kind of grossly misinterpets that exchange. Holland didn’t mean it as an insult. Just came off as brutal honesty to me. And if you listen to KK response, I don’t think he took it as an insult, but used the comment as a chance to reevaluate life.

Yeah, this is how I read that as well.

Yeh it was posted on the mains as well. To my surprise, no one is giving Holland or the Oilers the gears for that comment.

Kinda shows KK was signed as just a filler type guy though, and maybe Holland didn’t see upward potential there though. But that’s another discussion.
