Via “The Vyrus” on Twitter, Sportsnet’s Saturday Headlines video included a discussion of Seattle’s GM search…which Nick Kypreos says may involve Ken Holland? Check out the 5:50 mark. Kypreos says that Ken Holland hasn’t had talks with the Wings yet regarding his expiring contract, and his contract may not be addressed until the end of the regular season:
If and when Seattle gets a franchise, there’s likely to be a number of high-profile candidates to be GM and Detroit Red Wings GM Ken Holland appears to be “at the top of the list,” according to Sportsnet’s Nick Kypreos.
“Let’s make no mistake about it, Kenny Holland is out there,” Kypreos said during the Headlines segment Saturday on Hockey Night in Canada. “His contract is going to expire at the end of the year. No talks at all scheduled. It appears it might go all the way to the end of the season before it gets addressed. You’ve got to put him at the top of the list.”
Wings need to move in different direction with new GM. First job: assess coaching staff.
