from Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal,
The far more interesting question this decision now presents is: Will Ken Holland stay in Detroit? Or is there a new challenge out there for a man who had probably been the best NHL General Manager of the past two decades?
For the time being, at least, Detroit will position this as Holland as staying on as Sr. Vice-President. Holland and Yzerman are very good friends. There is no way that Holland would just bring in Yzerman and then walk away, cold-turkey, and steal his friend’s thunder.
