I know this is beating a dead horse but there's not much else to talk about right now. What was Holland's worst move as Detroit's GM?

We like to beat dead horses here. This is a great idea, now we can beat ALL of Holland's dead horses at once, lol.I know this is beating a dead horse there's not much else to talk about right now. What was Holland's worst move as Detroit's GM?
Abdelkader or the Kyle Quincey saga.
Man, Holland was absolute trash as GM from 2010 until he left in 2019. The list of good moves he made pales in comparison to the list of bad.
It was stupid to cut him. Oddly, I think the 1st to get him back was inconsequential only because Holland sucks at drafting and would have picked a player that never makes the team. Most people think we lost Vas, but realistically he would not have been Kenny's choice.The Kyle Quincey Saga was something else.
Yea there's virtually no chance we draft a goalie at that point in Howard's career.I was stupid to cut him.

As I've said before I think in his heyday Holland was great at tinkering with a well built franchise. Making an occasional big move and a lot of small conservative ones. But when the team needed more than that, he seemed incapable of changing his style.Everything he did after the Hossa signing turned to shit. It's not one major blunder but an era of being ineffective and passive.
I think Holland was fantastic as part of a brain trust of him,Bowman,Jimmy D and an aggressive Illitch. I don't think he has the aggressiveness on his own to out and get what a team needs. He is content to keep his guys and take what comes to him like a Weiss,Frans or Hyman. Once Bowman was gone,Jimmy D was a bumbling old bag of gas and Illitch was locked into winning a World Series Holland was on his own in a one dimensional passive front office where nobody was forcing his hand.As I've said before I think in his heyday Holland was great at tinkering with a well built franchise.
