In a significant shift within the Edmonton Oilers' front office, Ken Holland, the team's General Manager
The Oilers have named Jeff Jackson as the interim General Manager, as reported by Jason Gregor. Holland, who is 68 years old, has enjoyed a commendable career in hockey management and appears to be considering retirement.
As the Oilers navigate through this transitional period, the focus shifts to Jeff Jackson, whose background as a former player agent is anticipated to be beneficial, especially in upcoming contract negotiations with key players such as Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid, and Evan Bouchard.
Jackson's expertise could be crucial in maintaining the core of the team, selecting a suitable full-time General Manager, and strategically enhancing the roster for future success.
