Rumor: Ken Holland about to be hired by the Chicago Blackhawks

[UrbanImpact]

From one generational talent to another. Hopefully he doesnt anchor down Bedards chances like he did with Mcdavid.

If his new role has anything to do with negotiating contracts then prepare for Jake Guentzel at 15mil AAV x7 to the Hawks

Poor Hawks fans if this ends up true.

Just blow it all up then

No point in wasting careers of Bedard, Vlasic, etc

 

[HockeyVirus]

Probably as an advisor or something. Similar to what Bergervin did with LA

 

[Moose Head]

Is this the NHL’s punishment in lieu of not losing the Bedard pick?

 

[tabness]

ugh Kenny, why Chicago?

well bring some class to that organization at least

 

[dj Mahoney]

Dont let the guy or his DIPSHIT buddy Tyler (WRONG) Wright anywhere near the draft

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Because it will absolutely be a failure of a hire and will set the team back, the NHL has decided to punish the Ottawa Senators by taking away a future 1st Rd pick.

Edmonton offered him a position as well, i dont think he would leave Edmonton just to be an advisor in Chicago.

The guy sees himself as a "builder" still.

Whatever the position it will be in Chicago, he will have his hands in the cookie jar.

I guess this is punishment for the Beach situation

I think he would be a good pick up personally provided the Blackhawks aren’t in a rush. I think his patience and experience is good for a rebuilding team.

Just don’t let him negiotate.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Surprised he wants to start fresh with a rebuilding franchise. But if he has the energy and passion for it all the power to him.

Who knows what the role is though. Could be a cushy advisor position.

 

[Malkinstheman]

This would be a deathblow to the Hawks rebuild

Ken Holland
New Dynasty

Have you seen the disaster he has left in his wake?

Detroit: Took Zadina over Quinn Hughes who was in his Detroit backyard ....Cholowski, Rasmussen, Veleno, Svechnikov were more beauty 1st round picks.

Oilers: Anchor contracts with Nurse and Campbell.


I'm not sure how this screams, new dynasty to Chicago

 

[oXo Cube]

Holland was more bad than good in Edmonton IMO but he wasn't a total disaster or anything.

The one thing you really don't want him to inherit though is cap space.

 

[Bond]

McDavid drug the Oilers to the last round in spite of Holland. Can’t believe he got another job

 

[Mrfenn92]

Being reported by Chicago media that this is untrue

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Probably as an advisor or something. Similar to what Bergervin did with LA

So destroying a franchise. Excellent. Excellent.

 

[God]

even if he's hired by chicago, it'll definitely be in an advisory/president role that's hands off on the day-to-day of the team. would basically be the same as a potential role anywhere - i don't think he gets another GM job at this point considering his reluctance.

no matter what chicago does, bedard is coming home anyway. so this won't matter at all copium

 

[SomeDude]

I have a feeling he’ll be coming in as defacto GM in waiting for when they put Davidson out of his misery.

You love to see it.
