"I learned a lot from Kenny, even before I retired, talking about the league, players, signings… I always talked about things with him, and the four years after I retired, we talked about contracts, how he managed situations, how he handled things. The logic behind the decisions that he had to make. It was a tremendous education.

"Kenny was very, very selfless. To this day I talk to him about things. He hasn’t changed a bit. He is very, very humble."

-Steve Yzerman, GM of the Detroit Red Wings on Ken Holland. Mark Spector of Sportsnet has more on Holland.
