This past season was the first time in 28 years that longtime Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland was not in charge of an NHL team, and he didn’t like it. That’s why Holland will become the general manager of the Los Angeles Kings by the end of the week, according to multiple reports.

By this point, the Red Wings’ needs are no secret. Detroit’s pipeline needs more dynamic talent in the top six, a top-four left-shot defenseman, and, as general manager Steve Yzerman recently noted, a harder element throughout its lineup.
