Kyle Davidson - The Next Ken Holland?
Ken Holland is the current General Manager (GM) of the Edmonton Oilers. Kyle Davidson, as we all know, is the current GM of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Hawks fans haven't been too fond of Davidson as of late. He traded away Jake McCabe, Patrick Kane, Sam Lafferty, and Max Domi and only got one first round pick. I would describe it as just bending over and taking what the other team wants to give you, then calling it a day. Even after all that, they still aren't first in the Connor Bedard race.
Oilers fans aren't the biggest fans of Ken Holland, either. He has Connor McDavid and Leon Draisital, but still hasn't won a Stanley Cup. Edmonton's defense is terrible, but Ken did nothing to address it. Holland does nothing at every single deadline. This year he stated that Evander Kane coming back was the "biggest move" of the deadline.
Davidson reminds me a lot of Holland, and I won't be shocked if at some point we let him go. Even when we're winning again, he could just be another Ron Hextall (Pittsburgh Penguins GM) or Ken Holland.
