Keith Gretzky named as potential Edmonton Oilers GM, fans are not happy

The Edmonton Oilers are currently without a general manager, and fans are buzzing about the possibility of Keith Gretzky stepping into the role.

Now that Ken Holland is out, the Oilers need a GM, and Keith Gretzky has been named as a more than likely candidate for the role. It would be interesting to see what he could do for the Oilers as a GM, but in a strange twist, the Oilers fanbase don't seem to actually want to see what he can do for the team, with many going to social media to fight the proposition.

For now, the Oilers and CEO Jeff Jackson have said that the club was operating day by day and not feeling any pressure to resolve the situation. Fans are starting to read in between the lines and seeing that Jackson could have a provisional plan in place, looking to Keith Gretzky to take the reins.

And Oilers' fans are thrilled about it. On Wednesday, Jim Matheson in Edmonton pointed to Keith Gretzky as the best candidate to become the team's general manager.

Right away, fans' responses got the younger Gretzky trending for all the wrong reasons. Fans clearly do not want him to take over for Holland though the Oilers have been making sound decisions since the opening day of Free Agency:

Since Keith Gretzky has been hired in Edmonton, he's proven that there is plenty more to him than just being Wayne Gretzky's younger brother. However, there is a sense that he is not that dedicated to becoming the team's GM, meaning he would be a hard sell in Edmonton as fans seem adamant that he is not the right pick to take over the Oilers.
