Ken Holland, who won four Stanley Cups as an executive with the Detroit Red Wings, is expected to become the next general manager of the Los Angeles Kings, multiple NHL sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday.
Inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a Builder in 2020, Holland replaces Rob Blake, the Kings' general manager and vice president of hockey operations whose contract was not renewed after a fourth straight first-round playoff exit.
An announcement is expected later this week. Rod Pedersen, host of "The Rod Pedersen Show," was first with the news.
