Holland continues to do miracle things with what money he has to work with. lol

Let's revisit this in 4 months

I'm rooting for him. I've wanted him to succeed since Tampa drafted him. He's flashed but hasn't been what was hoped of him. Didn't really see him this past year though.

I knew hf posters were lame, but man, the coocoo jokes in this thread are just plain bad. The mods should remove those comments to save this site the embarrassment in case someone googles Koekkoek.

I don't understand why teams weren't all over this guy

Hes not good.

Hes not good.

He hasn’t even reached that “300 game” threshold D men generally need before we know what they’ll be.

He’s a good depth signing at that money, we’re in “win now” mode we can’t afford to have our young guys learning on the job. We need legit bona fide NHL D men.

Small sample size, but he looked really good in the play in series against us.

He's not that good.

Agreed but good at that price

Stop your complaining, growling, oinking!
I only see 4 references to Cuckoo which should be expected given the name.
Wait til the season starts and Gene has a go.
