    So you're deciding to base your entire line of argument on "what if Holland went to a bad/different team?" And then assuming he would do bad? Despite that there exists zero evidence to back that conclusion? Or any conclusion involving that premise? Goodluck with the straw grasping brother. I'm out.

    He's gone 23 without a goal EDIT: Could be wrong. Only what I could garner from hockeydb. I've been drinking and go ahead of myself

    Is that so? Dang, then I should retract my statements quick. Holland's a fantastic GM!

    110% true. Lower level employees do ALL the work. It's not like managers hire, manage employees, and guide the overall vision of the business. They just sit in their office and kick tires while watching netflix. Bums. Fire them. NOW. EDIT: Clearly Holland never learned anything while working with so many great hockey men. Which is baffling considering how are teams stays elite by great vets teaching great young kids. Holland MUST be slow or something.

    Most likely why he never made the NHL. But he's got the hands of a top 6 NHL center. Nosek has the size that fits the NHL, but he's not quite as skilled. I think that's why I like guys like Pulks and Jurco playing with Miele. When they get to the NHL they'll be up to speed on the skill game.

    Yeah, small and almost 27. But damn he lights up the minors. I have no problem with our young wingers learning and gaining confidence from him while in GR. That's what he's for.

    So right now we're looking at something like this: Tatar - Datsyuk - Cole Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader Weiss - Sheahan - Glendening Miller - Andersson - Cleary Pulkkinen If everyone gets healthy (I know I included zberg in the first lineup, he's almost back) Tatar - Datsyuk - Cole Nyquist - Zetterberg - Abdelkader Helm - Sheahan - Franzen Miller - Weiss - Glendening All 4 of those line can be a threat defensively and offensively. That's pretty sick. Now the defense...

    I know he wore 26 with Carolina during the cup run, but I think he had to switch to 72 because someone else was wearing it for MTL and DAL. Jurco wears 26 for us.

    Does Cole wear 72 for us?

    Abby + Franzen = Cole. I think our top 6 just got way more dangerous and less one-dimensional. Tatar - Datsyuk - Cole Nyquist - Zetters - Abby If Franzan can come back we'll be lookin even betta

    Red Wings Road Fans Appreciation

    I feel like a lot of people have left Michigan for greener pastures (including myself). Hence why there are a lot of transplanted Wings fans, especially south/west where the economy is doing better.
