Former Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland is currently taking stock of his hockey future with numerous possibilities still in play, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
The 63-year-old, who currently holds the senior vice-president position with the Red Wings, captured three Stanley Cups (1998, 2002, 2008) as Detroit's general manager from 1997 to the end of this season before being replaced by Steve Yzerman last month.
According to LeBrun, the Edmonton Oilers, who are looking for a new GM after firing Peter Chiarelli in January, remain a possibility while the Seattle franchise, slated to join the NHL in 2021-22, is a "real intrigue." LeBrun adds Holland could stay in his current role with the Wings as well, but believes at some point he wants to resurface as a general manager of an NHL team.
Holland is a native of Vernon, British Columbia.
