According to several sources, including Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, the contract of Edmonton Oilers General Manager Ken Holland will expire on June 30, making him free to sign elsewhere.
This situation could leave the Oilers without a general manager in the short term, a scenario considered due to their run to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup. Searching for an immediate replacement could have generated rumors and distractions.
Holland, inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2020, nearly won his fifth title as an executive, but the Florida Panthers claimed victory on Monday night.
