You cannot only credit holland for the team's success.
Yamamoto, Koskinen, Draisaitl signed cheap, drafting Bear, etc....that was not Holland's doing. Holland basically put the lipsticks on this fat pig. Remove yamamoto, bear and koskinen and how is this team looking?
You are so remarkable full of sheet in these posts it's amazing. This argument is like suggesting if "Well if Draisaitl only have 70 points, where would they be then?"
So lets do some actual thinking.
Koskinen, Holland brings Smith in to play and compete with Koskinen. It's lessened Koskinen's work load, leading to a rest goalie down the stretch (and as an offshoot Koskinen is significantly better at handling the puck this year)
Bear is 2 fold from Holland, first he buys out Sekera creating some cap space and a roster space. He also hires a coach who see the value in Bear and give him the opportunity, Ethan Bear does the rest.
Yamamoto is a welcome surprise and it is fortunate for the team. It's also good judgement by Holland to waive Jurco when it clearly wasn't working, instead of keeping him in the NHL and trying to fit that square peg in the round hole. Also, the improvement to the team's overall depth let Yamamoto come in an player where he was best suited. And, again, he hired the coach who put these guys together, who gave a 5'6" rookie who had middling numbers in the AHL a chance to play with the NHL leading score to GREAT success.
Look I get it, you're miserable for miserable sake and you expound so much nonsense it's hard to keep track of.
Here's the reality. This team is 2nd in the Pacific on March 10, and Holland deserves a ton of credit for all it. And as to Athanasiou, he's still finding his way, stop trying to get ahead of writing him off like some kind of hero of miserable sheet.
