Holland getting all the glory 27 games into his rookie season with the Coil. Him acquiring McDavid and Draisaitl was nothing short of brilliance.

The Wings have been rebuilding around the same time Benning arrived here. Lidstrom retired in 2012, in 2012 Datsyuk was 34, Zetterberg 32.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:15 amIt is odd how that team decayed into what you see now.

Hollands best move had been to settle down the circus and hire the coach. Its been a good start.

No. The Oil won the McDavid lottery moving up 3 spots in the order. Draisaitl, was there before he arrived in EdmontonThe Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:20 amSo you're a Chiarelli fan then?Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:17 am Holland getting all the glory 27 games into his rookie season with the Coil.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
I didn’t say he was great. I just get a kick of out of a miserable angry mid 50s guy who hates a random GM for no particular reason. Carry on, these drunken ragefests are good humour.

Hearing that the Devils have started to listen from teams on Taylor Hall. Doesn't mean they will for sure trade him but given their place in the standings and the magnitude of a potential deal, GM Ray Shero is now in listening mode...

UPDATE: The #RedWings have acquired goaltender Eric Comrie from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for defenseman Vili Saarijarvi.

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
What would they get for Hall? A late 1st and a top prospect. They have to trade him though. He’s 28 and he’s already been dinged up a bit. He will want 10 million + on a seven year deal. Stay the fuck away. Good player but there’s way too many hard miles on that odometer already.

Even Holland knows it - he admits his only star draft picks were flukes, and he gives Chiarelli credit for the current success.Chef Boi RD wrote: ↑Sat Nov 30, 2019 9:31 amYour Great Holland has been rebuilding the last 6 years, the results?

Re: Around the league (signings, RFAs injuries)
Whatever helps you sleep at night man. I think it’s hilarious that a handful of posters are so enraged at something Holland has done over the years. Keep on keepin on Chief.
