[Upshall] Source telling me that Ken Holland could be on his way to the Chicago Blackhawks. Position to be determined. Could this be the beginning of building new dynasty there in Chi town?!? They have the cap space and the draft picks! We will see how this plays out…

Chicago prospects looking to fill our nets with pucks
Red Wings legend Patrick Kane
Blackhawks legend Ken Holland
Bedard for a gently used Abdelkader 1 for 1
“Ken Holland” and “building new dynasty” shouldn’t be used in the same sentence
This is their punishment for getting Bedard
Nobody is better at inheriting generational talent then Holland!
Kenny is legitimately only good at being a gm when he’s with a contending team that needs to buy.
His nurse contract isn’t great, but signing nuge to his deal and bringing in Henrique and ekholm were great moves.
I thought when he left the wings he would ride EDM into “retirement” since it was close to his family. I guess he’s not done
Thought he’d get a cup easily with Connor. Now he’s trying the next Connor. SAD!
He refused a very similar position in Detroit so why take it in Chicago? I dont really get it.
Glad he’s going to a team I already hate and I can now root for McDavid to my heart’s content.
Holland isn’t really a builder. He just re-signs his own guys to exorbitant contracts. See who the Wings had in their front office during his tenure here.
He goes to Edmonton with 2 of the best in the league and re-signs Nurse, Jack Campbell, RNH to way to long/expensive deals.
The Wings are still paying Abby’s buyout.
#UPDATE: [Zawaski] A high-ranking Blackhawks source tells me there is no truth to this, adding that the rumor is “bizarre.”
Post flair changed to “rumour”.
Come on dude. You’re going on 70 and have multiple rings and a bank account worth millions, just tetire already and enjoy the last 10-15 years of your life while you can.
You don’t want Ken holland trying to build your team lmao
Holland gonna Holland. The guy can’t build a team and keeps worming his way into teams that he thinks has “franchise” players.
CHI isn’t the Red Wings and they aren’t the Oilers. Holland trying to build a team out of that mess is gonna be fucking hilarious to see.
Fucking Ken Holland man.
He keeps going from franchise to franchise with generational talents. Oh Lidstrom, Datsyuk, Zetterberg aged out? Time to go to Edmonton with McDraisaitl. Oh we made the finals? Time to go to Chicago with Bedard and a goddamn #2 pick in this year’s draft.
While Holland did a great job continuing a dynasty in a pre cap era he has yet to build anything from the ground up. He has been slow as molasses in EDM which is why it’s still the McDrai show there. He was slow as molasses in Detroit which is why Yzerman was brought in. I’m fine with him going to Chicago but I feel bad for Bedard.
Jokes on you! Holland can’t draft!
The literal worst position to put Ken in: his 2 biggest faults were drafting and cap management. Good luck Chicago lmao.
Thought this was r/detroitredwings
Holland hasn’t proved that he can build anything in the cap era.
Why would Kenny going there mean they’re building a dynasty? He’s a terrible GM.
Why would Ken leave Edmonton where he has two biggest stars and a team going to the cup finals, to go to a rebuilding team? Especially we know he hates rebuilds
Kenny on his way to waste the talents of another generational talent?
Chicago bout to be amazing once Jim Devellano steps down
Holland didn’t build the Red Wings or the Oilers. Most overrated GM in hockey.
Fuck Chicago
Excuse me while I puke. Bowman was hard enough there.
