Interestingly, some of the impressive free-agency acquisitions made by the Oilers are credited to Brad Holland, Ken's younger colleague. It's possible that analytics played a role in some of these decisions.
There are rumors that Steve Staios may be next in line for the General Manager position if Holland decides to move on after the last year of his contract. However, it's uncertain where Holland could land and if the Ottawa Senators will make a move for him.
There are concerns that a Staios hire could affect the team's star players, Leon Draisailt and Connor McDavid, but this is all speculation for now.
