There is a lot of speculation surrounding what his next position and contract will look like. According to Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, there is a possibility that Holland could move up to President of Hockey Operations with Steve Staios.
Holland still has work to do this off-season. RFAs Evan Bouchard and Ryan McLeod are still in need of new contracts. Not to mention the rest of the roster has to be filled out with league minimum contracts as the Oilers are up against the salary cap.
There has been a lot of money tied up in several bad contracts. It will be interesting to see how the Oilers handle someone like Jack Campbell, especially when the trade deadline rolls around.
