We're all die hard fans, but did anybody really believe we had a chance in this year's playoffs? We got hot to make it in, but all of our deficiencies, that were never addressed by management, are still there. I assume we'll see Bert and/or Sammy in game two.

They had all the cap room in the world this summer. Holland tried (and failed) for Parise and Suter, but where he really missed the ball was his total disinterest in Semin. Semin with Datsyuk would have us in the playoffs right now.

This was a pretty weird post.

At least he didn't say Crosby coming back from injury would be as good as a deadline acquisition. Instead he added Jokinen.

WHO? Was that the nobody the got with the pick, cuz the other nobody Leino was traded for was Ole Kristian Tollefson. lol

Flog Holland.

Keep picks for what? More small sized Euros who'd rather pass than shoot and who won't see a whiff of Red Wings ice for 5 or 6 years?

Classic Holland. Overvalues his own players. Under-values others. Expects players to take less money to play in Detroit. There is a large trend now, of players saying "no thanks" to Detroit. This was first mentioned publically by Winsewski 2 off-seasons ago, and it came home to roost with Suter and Parise. Holland will do nothing of significance this off-season either.

I bet this makes Datsyuk really want to stay!

This is just about the angriest I have been at a Red Wings GM. Oates for Federko was just before my time.

If Columbus gave up jack squat for Gaborik, Holland should be fired on the spot.

Well if those are the going rates around the league, then I guess it's not double what they're worth. The market dictates what players are worth. It seems Mr. Holland wants to play in 2003's market and not 2013's. Yet another example of how he is past his prime.

If he really believes that, then he needs to go. Jim Nill time.

And don't forget "Injured Player X will be back, and that's as good as a deadline acquisition."
