Nev 1,085 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 My only criticism of Holland is, that with the extra 5M he had coming out of the summer, he should have spent it in the summer on one or two UFAs. Even if it meant overpayment for one year contracts. He said he was hanging on to the cap space for the deadline, but, like other years, the asking prices for the kind of players the Wings (and every other contender) need - namely a scoring winger and top four D-man, are through the roof. The reason we didn't sign any FA's other than Drake is because they all wanted multi-year deals. Holland knew he was going to have to resign Lidstrom then Zetterberg, Filpulla, Clealy, Lilja...... Signing an UFA to a multi-year deal for any kind of money would screw our chances of retaining our core, and Holland knew that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
