Kings Make Bold Move: Hall of Famer Ken Holland Takes Over as GM—What’s Next for the Franchise?
In hockey, sometimes the smartest move is to recruit your biggest rival’s mastermind. The Kings just handed the reins to Ken Holland — the very guy who built the Edmonton Oilers squad that has repeatedly stood in their playoff way, toppling them in the first round four straight seasons. It’s a move dripping with irony but loaded with promise. Holland isn’t just some ticket-punching exec; he’s a Hall of Famer, a proven architect of championship teams with an enviable resume stretching from Detroit’s glory days to Edmonton’s recent surge. The Kings, stuck in an 11-year playoff win drought and fresh off Rob Blake’s resignation, are clearly betting Holland’s savvy and experience can erase past frustrations and steer them toward a Stanley Cup run. It’s a pivotal chapter for a franchise eager to rewrite its narrative — can the man who once dealt them heartbreak now deliver their breakthrough? Time will tell. LEARN MORE.
If you can’t beat them, hire them.
