Run the Jewels
Make Detroit Great Again
I hope Jurco does well so
1. Holland realizes he needs to give these kids more chances
2. Other teams recognize maybe Wings got some good talent and give us more trade calls and offer better return.
The limiting factor is Holland. The only reason he did this deal was because of how things are trending. If we were closer to a playoff spot he'd do nothing which is his default mode. I am happy to give him credit, it's just clear he has no real interest in trying to build a contender. Hopefully he retires after next season at the absolute latest. He had a great start to his career and it's pretty obvious he's still trying to ride those coattails. There are no coattails left, haven't been since Lidstrom retired.
