The Edmonton Oilers and Assistant General Manager Brad Holland have mutually agreed to part ways, the team announced on Monday. The decision allows Holland to “pursue other opportunities,” according to a statement from the Oilers.
Holland, who joined the Oilers as a scout in 2019, was promoted to assistant general manager and director of professional scouting prior to the 2022-23 season. Before his tenure with the Oilers, he began his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs as a team manager in 2015.
Brad Holland is the son of Ken Holland, the former general manager of the Oilers. Ken Holland’s contract was not extended following the 2023-24 season. In July, the Oilers hired Stan Bowman to replace Ken Holland as general manager, marking a significant shift in the team’s front office.
