Ken Holland’s time is up.

Just three days after falling to the Panthers in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final, the organization confirmed that it would not be renewing the general manager’s contract, which was in its final month in June.

The Oilers CEO of hockey operations Jeff Jackson reportedly said that the decision was mutual.

Holland’s job security was in question throughout the season and only intensified throughout the playoffs.

“Over the past five seasons as general manager, Ken has not only built the Edmonton Oilers into one of the NHL’s best teams, but he has also established a deeply rooted foundation...

Oilers, GM Ken Holland part ways after Stanley Cup heartbreak

Dear Ken Holland, thank you for assembling a team that was good enough to come within a victory of winning the championship. But we're moving on. Love, the Edmonton Oilers. That's probably not how it went down, but the Oilers and Holland are indeed parting ways, less than a week after the Oilers overcame a 3-0 deficit in the Stanley Cup finals, only to drop Game 7 to the eventual champion Florida Panthers.

Former Detroit Red Wings winger Marty Pavelich has passed away at the age of 96. Pavelich was the oldest living player to play 100 career games or more in the NHL. Pavelich was built through the Red Wings system. He began his career with Detroit’s juniors team, the Galt Red Wings, in 1946, where he played alongside future Hall-of-Fame goalie Terry Sawchuk. Pavelich’s strong juniors season earned him a call-up to Detroit’s minor-league affiliate, the Indianapolis Capitals, in the following season — a move he quickly vindicated by earning a full-time NHL role. Pavelich posted four goals and 12 points in 41 games as a rookie but quickly followed it with 26 points in 60 games as a sophomore. More importantly, Pavelich showed signs of strong grit. It was enough to inspire then-head coach Tommy Ivan to build a checking line around the forward that supported Detroit’s stars, serving as a big factor in the team’s run to the Stanley Cup in 1950.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The Philadelphia Flyers kicked off their night by trading down. They moved from 12 to 13 along with adding a 2025 third-round pick. The trade was with the Minnesota Wild who moved up one spot to select Zeev Buium from the University of Denver. Will the Flyers regret not just taking Buium one day? It is possible.

The Buffalo Sabres have acquired forward Beck Malenstyn from the Washington Capitals in exchange for a second-round pick (43rd overall) in the 2024 NHL Draft.

With such little cap space for the Philadelphia Flyers and a looming eight-figure contract extension at some point for Leon Draisatil, it would be tough to sell to any fan that the longtime Edmonton Oiler would come to Southeast Pennsylvania in the event of a trade. And for good reason, as Draisaitl himself, thanks to a no-movement clause, can veto any potential move if he doesn’t like the situation for whomever the Oilers would potentially try to trade him to.
