Who can we trade Holland to is the question

 

the Wings' cap situation so bad lol one of the worst rosters in the league and they have no cap space

sorry for Holland, Wings fans. Believe me, I know that feel with Lou at the end of his run here.

 

He's ruined this team and it's a bummer.

Save us Stevie Y

 

He's too busy giving everyone NTC and signing bad deals to save you

 

He's sabotaging them on purpose obviously

I don't think most of the deals he's given out have been that bad honestly

 

Meh, it doesn't matter now but when they have all those next contracts due on the next timeline it will. Also, the season hasn't started and half those guys aren't on IR yet so it looks fine lol gonna get a nice Russian player in the draft

 

Back with the Ducks. Sweet.

 

apparently Athanasiou may sign in the KHL lol oh Detroit

 

Fuck everything

 

WHAT????

 

what the fuck kenny

 

Holland is the worst part 3,063

 

What a joke

 

This is the least excited I've ever been for a season of hockey

Thanks Kenny

 

Ken Holland can give 5 middle of the road players $4-5 million good term contracts, but can't get a bridge deal done for a promising star for the franchise

like what the hell is this?

 

lol redact what I said in A1-8s about going to a game this year

 

If anything, Athanasiou is leveraging the KHL offers to somehow get a better offer from Detroit.

Also, from the article:

 

I don't expect him to leave, but don't think this is necessarily a good sign if they're not even close to an agreement on a bridge deal. Holland should make some moves to sign AA and apparently he's not putting much effort in. Probably not too hard for another team to offer sheet him

 

From what I've read about offer sheets, teams just fear retribution later down the line and so they don't do it. And obviously in most cases, the offer sheet is typically matched.

Elsewhere, "highly-touted college free agent Alexander Kerfoot (Harvard) has decided to sign with the Avalanche," according to Dreger.

 

Kerfoot signing with the Avs

good riddance

 

The offseason would be so much more fun if GMs had the guts to offer sheet. We'd have more barn fights that's for sure.

 

So wait the Avs signed two free agent college guys now?
