In my time on this board I've seen probably 2/3rds of you denigrate Holland because of how poorly the post cup years went and simultaneously praise Stevie Y for the current tank/rebuild phase.
Now that SY's Wings are starting to look competitive again (on paper at least) and Holland has extinguished the Oilers dumpster fire who do you think will have success first?
Obviously you have two entirely different situations. Holland inherited an Oilers team that was both saddled with boat anchor contracts but also had 2 of the best players in the league. He's moved quick enough to build them into a competitor that is shows he learned from some of his mistakes in Detroit.
SY's draft picks and cap management have been pretty good so far. It has yet to translate to any sort of winning, but the team was more fun to watch last year and there is actual hope going into this season.
Both GMs have track records of building dynasties.
HARD MODE - no vote switching. I also put this here instead of on the Polls board because I just wanted input from Wings fans.
