Edmonton Oilers CEO and President of Hockey Operations Jeff Jackson announced on Tuesday that the team and assistant general manager Brad Holland have agreed to mutually part ways.

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.

“We thank Brad for his work during his time with the organization & we wish him well in his future endeavours.” said Jackson in the Oilers tweet announcing the parting of ways.

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.

Holland is also the nephew of Dennis Holland, who is an amateur scout for the Dallas Stars.

Before his time with the Oilers, Brad Holland also worked with the Toronto Maple Leafs 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.

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.

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.

While Edmonton did lose a few pieces from that run by trading Ryan McLeod & Cody Ceci and losing Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues, they did bring in Viktor Arvidsson, Jeff Skinner, Vasily Podkolzin, Ty Emberson and Josh Brown, as well as Travis Dermott on a professional tryout.

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