It's Feb. 19.
Ken Holland doesn't have a contract. There have been more stories speculating about him leaving Detroit than him staying.
We don't have any idea if he wants to return to Detroit.
He seems to be operating under the idea that Detroit can turn things around and contend fairly quickly.
We don't know if this is what he truly believes, or if this is based on some order from ownership to keep the Wings in the playoff picture.
Why isn't Ken Holland signed?
Is it because ownership hasn't offered him a new deal and doesn't intend to bring him back?
If so, then ownership should have fired him before July 1, and he had the opportunity to sign Daley and put the team up against the cap - and force the ill-advised Sheahan trade.
Maybe a new GM would have fired Blashill and we might have done better developing young guys like AA and Mrazek, etc.
Now we're sitting here listening to rumors about Holland trading a 26 year old goalie while keeping about-to-be 34-year old goalie.
Would a GM with plans to be here for 5-10 years consider such a thing?
I doubt it.
