Good analysis by Custance
Assessing Mike Green's trade value, options and perception...
So not only has Holland not started talking to teams, he's not yet talked to Mike Green about removing trade restrictions.
Custance also says Holland's bad contracts could hurt Detroit.
I think the concerning thing here is Green's return.
Custance calls Green a "poor man's Shattenkirk."
Shattenkirk brought back a first round pick and a second-rate prospect.
When he starts listing potential landings for Green, it's a fairly short list. And even those teams on the list are iffy.
A first rounder could be a tall order.

Tableau PublicAssuming the Red Wings up their aggression in making trades at some point in the rebuilding process, their no-trade clauses throughout the roster will eventually be a real liability. Trade restrictions have been given out quite liberally as this telling chart from Colin Cudmore indicates
According to an NHL source, his no-trade clause is ironclad so he controls this situation. Management has yet to broach the topic with its All-Star defenseman.
“I haven’t talked to Mike,” Holland said when asked about the no-trade clause. “I’ve been watching our team.”
So not only has Holland not started talking to teams, he's not yet talked to Mike Green about removing trade restrictions.
Custance also says Holland's bad contracts could hurt Detroit.
Green has more value when his salary is retained but it would be even greater if Detroit had the flexibility to take a bad contract back in the deal.
