I heard this on the radio but they said something like Holland will be back next season "with or without a contract". I'm not sure what that means. But with all the draft picks and the current state of the roster it just seems to make sense to go in a new direction under a new GM.

[Malto Marko]

Some are speculating it is because the Wings have their sights on Yzerman who's contract runs through next year and Holland may be a steward until they can make a full court press to attract Yzerman.

[Panoptes]

If that's true, then make a trade offer for Yzerman and let him use all the draft picks. You don't let a lame duck GM waste em.

[Tom]

Exactly. You don't let a lame duck GM make those selections. Also, I think Yzerman to Detroit is not likely. He's got a good situation in Tampa. He may have played here but does he have the same loyalty to Chris Ilitch that he had to Mike Ilitch? Detroit is going to take a lot of time to fix.

[Tom]

I just noticed that the Blackhawks missed the playoffs. How is that possible with the genius of Scotty Bowman still behind the scenes? Weird...

[Malto Marko]

Holland just got a 2 year extension.

Everybody in the world could get their name on the Stanley Cup...... it?s fucking huge.

It's supposed to be, it's like the FA Cup in England.

[Tom]

The Wings will have the 6th pick in the draft. Too bad. I was hoping they could get Dahlin.

[FVD]

They can trade up for him, they have some ammo.

[Tom]

What would it take to get him? By all accounts, this guy is another Lidstrom. I don't think Buffalo is going to give that up unless they get something very valuable in return.

I don't think the Wings are in a position to give up talent and I'm not sure they have anything that other teams really want.

[The King]

There's no way #1 is traded. This Dahlin guy is a generational talent. The Wings do have 7 picks in the first three rounds. They need to do their research and take BPA each time.

[jaadam4]

it’s been awhile so let me catch up.


Holland is staying!!! Are you f’ing serious!!

This.. we don?t have the ammo to get Dahlin. The kid is being likened to Lids.
