Speculation: Trade Deadline: Who will we see in red? (Part 2) (MOD warning #661)

Holland is not interested in moving roster players - Khan on Twitter

I don't see how he can say that with a straight face omg....so many players that should be moved on this team. I would much rather not make the playoffs and just move some scraps for pics and get some younger guys playing experience.

fire him
fire him
fire him
fire him
fire him

how could he say that kinda garbage

 

[RedWingsNow*]

TSN saying Goligoski could be available?

I don't think we would have to give up a ton for him, plus his contract isn't bad. I would kick the tires on that one.

But where does he fit?
A small, lefthanded offensive defenseman....

GASP!

Who needs extra picks and prospects? We clearly need 9 D and 15+ forwards.

Out of curiosity is there anyone of interest left that might be available for a 2nd and mid prospect?

Doesnt want to move roster players, doesnt want to deal picks or prospects.

Re-sign flip and probably Cleary and have another go at it next year.

Goligoski is actually a right-handed shooter. In any case- Eklund is saying Campbell to Detroit is possible, and Filppula is in high demand.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

i 100% support the notion that kenny is selling of not moving our first rd pick or top prospects for rentals, its a smart no wait brillant plan because we're not a contending team and rentals wont help us one iota

that said and knowing that as kenny has stated thats the truth then why not move out pending UFA's for picks, guys not part of our future whose presence has no bearing on our playoff success this year and who potentially could bring in a hidden gem, or allow us to pckg picks to move up in the draft or perhaps even use those extra picks in a deal at the draft?

it makes absolutely no sense business wise whatsoever

Holland will re-sign Flip because he pays players based on potential and he's familiar with Flip. They're like a family. The team we have is the team we're stuck with.

No he's a leftie

I highly doubt this. These myths will eventually be busted.

Holland has less than a day to prove you right.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

No he's a leftie, get a clue, boy

I've reported your inflammatory language. I'm not putting up with this crap anymore. someone on Yahoo screwed it up. And generally, Yahoo is better than ESPN when it comes to the NHL.

He has an entire off season as well.

There was just an article quoting Holland, he said its difficult because you grow attached to the guys in your system and its like a family. You get to know them and their families. He was talking about the importance of keeping the emotion out of decisions but clearly it effects his decision making.

The way is see it is, since they know that they have no chance at being the model franchise talent and succsess-wise anymore, they want to be the model franchise for how they treat staff and players.

And lets be honest, most fans don't give a damn about that, apparently free-agents don't really either.

Why not look at NHL.com for NHL player profiles?

Do you not watch the players? You've seen dallas (and pittsburgh previously) play many times and yet you don't notice if he shoots left or right?

Holland has right up to free agency July 4th. He does'nt have to make a move on Filppula right now were still Playoff Contenders.

 

[JmanWingsFan]

Yahoo records more stats on the front page and is just as reliable more often than not.

 

[Debrincat93]

So now i'm being told that since he's going to see the specalist (Bert) that if they say its going to be a while, then he'll hang them up.
Idk.

that's the last time i listen to a family member who has info.. oh well, ill take the heat on this one..

 

[Run the Jewels]

I'd trade for Jagr in a heartbeat. He is still better than anyone on our team not named "Pavel."

Holland had his chance when Jagr came over from the KHL. As usual, Kenny blanched at fulfilling a need. Not sure why anyone expects anything else to happen at this point in Holland's career. All we can hope is he retires or gets promoted soon so either Nill or Stevie Y can fulfill the actual duties of managing an NHL team.

What would you guys give up for Fleischman?

I don't understand why people think Yzerman will either leave Tampa Bay for no reason or why they think he is some magical solution.

I imagine he also grows quite attached to the imaginary family of the first round draft pick for 2014. SMH

Holland and Nill's 5-year contracts will end at July 2015. That will be a big turning point for the whole Franchise.

- New arena
- Devellano retires from Senior Vice President duties (he is 72-year old then)
- Holland takes Devellano's spot as Senior Vice President and Alternate Governor
- Jim Nill becomes a GM
- Mike Babcock's 4-year contract will end
- Jeff Blashill becomes the new Head coach (if Babcock is not fired before, then this could happen earlier)
- We hire new assistant GM somewhere, or promote some scout from the organization on that duty
- Prospect core from great 2010-12 drafts starts hitting it's prime...

I don't understand why people think Yzerman will either leave Tampa Bay for no reason or why they think he is some magical solution.

I think he could have some strong voice to get free agents. If Steve freaking Yzerman calls you and wants your services, you don't say no for him.

I think we'll see Yzerman-era as our GM in the far future, but it will happen after the Jim Nill -era.
