Gino Reda: Speaking of guys looking for new deals, after helping to lead the Oilers to the Cup final last season, Ken Holland and the Oilers mutually agreed to part ways, but we’ve never heard Holland actually use the word “retired.” What are you hearing about his future, Dregs?

Dreger: Well, what we’re hearing here Gino is that he’s open to anything. You’re right, I think most of us thought that Kenny Holland may just fade into retirement, maybe take a consulting role or an advisory role, and he might be open to one of those positions on a short-term basis. He’s also open to not doing a whole heck of a lot other than playing golf over the course of this year. But let me tell you this, he still has tons of energy, and he still is motivated by the juice of the game, but it has to be the right fit. So I look at hockey operations bosses in Canada, like Jimmy Rutherford in Vancouver, what about Jeff Gorton of the Montreal Canadiens. I think Kenny Holland would be keenly interested in a job like that. Maybe another GM opportunity. But at his age, it can’t be a rebuild. But he wants to work again.
