Detroit — Ken Holland’s time with the Red Wings might be coming to a close.
Holland, who was replaced by Steve Yzerman as the organization’s general manager last month — Holland was promoted to senior vice-president — could be headed to the Edmonton Oilers.
Elliotte Friedman, analyst on Hockey Night in Canada, reported Saturday Holland is mulling a five-year contract worth $25 million from the Oilers to become Edmonton’s general manager.
A final decision from Holland is expected within the next couple days.
Holland, 63, has spent the last 36 years in the Wings’ organization — the past 22 years as the general manager, with the Red Wings winning three Stanley Cups during that span.
