After years of Ken Holland holding the Edmonton Oilers back as General Manager, his contract was up after their Stanley Cup Finals loss, with the team still looking to find a full-time person for the role. Jeff Jackson has been making the decisions this summer, but has been adamant that he doesn't want it full-time, and now they've reportedly been linked to the controversial Stan Bowman.
Bowman was involved in the Kyle Beach incident as the General Manager of the Chicago Blackhawks, with the NHL banning him from the league, but now that ban has been lifted, allowing him to return. This wouldn't be a popular move within Edmonton given Bowman's history, but with the league approving his return, don't be surprised to see him become the next GM as the Oilers look to take the final step towards a Stanley Cup.
