The Edmonton Oilers announced Thursday the club has promoted <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2022/06/30/edmonton-oilers-director-of-pro-scouting-archie-henderson-set-to-retire/">Brad Holland</a> to assistant general manager focusing on professional scouting.

Holland, the son of <a href="https://publish.oilersnation.com/2022/07/06/holland-potential-jesse-puljujarvi-trade-could-stretch-all-summer/">Oilers GM Ken Holland</a>, has been with the Oilers for three seasons working as a pro scout, but his impact on the team has been felt. More analytically driven, Holland had a hand in the acquisitions of Zach Hyman, Cody Ceci and Brett Kulak.
According to DailyFaceoff&#8217;s Frank Seravalli, Holland generated interest across the league this summer.
