<p>Holland had spent the past five seasons with the Oilers, He was originally hired as a scout for the first three seasons before he was promoted to assistant general manager in 2022.</p>



<p>“We thank Brad for his work during his time with the organization &amp; we wish him well in his future endeavours.” said Jackson in the Oilers tweet announcing the parting of ways.</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="138"></div>



<p>Holland was also the son of Ken Holland, the Oilers’ previous general manager. Brad Holland’s tenure aligned with his father’s time with the team, with both joining for the 2019-20 season and staying for five years. With Ken stepping down and being replaced by Stan Bowman, they’ve decided to continue to shake up the management by moving on from Brad.</p>



<p>Holland is also the nephew of Dennis Holland, who is an amateur scout for the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/dallas-stars/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Stars</a>.</p>



<p>Before his time with the Oilers, Brad Holland also worked with the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/toronto-maple-leafs/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Toronto Maple Leafs</a> as a team manager from 2015 to 2017. He was then without a job at the NHL level for two seasons before he was hired by the Oilers in 2019.</p>



<p>Holland also had a brief playing career as a forward, with the highlight of his career being his time with Sacred Hearts University at the NCAA level. In three seasons with the school, he had 2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points in 39 games.</p><div class="injected-ad" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="1" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="168"></div>



<p>The Oilers will look to make a return to the Stanley Cup Final after bowing out in seven games in the final round last year, with the hopes of winning their first Stanley Cup since 1990.</p>



<p>While Edmonton did lose a few pieces from that run by trading Ryan McLeod &amp; Cody Ceci and losing Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to offer sheets from the <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/st-louis-blues/line-combinations" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">St. Louis Blues</a>, they did bring in Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, Vasily Podkolzin, Ty Emberson and Josh Brown, as well as Travis Dermott on a professional tryout.</p>



<p>The Oilers currently have just under $1 million in cap space with no other restricted free agents to sign heading into training camp.</p>
