I don't know why everyone seems to think Holland has copped out. If he's working on something big -- and he's given every indication he is -- it'll probably come down to the wire.

Then again, this is Ken Holland we're talking about....

This is a great deal for both teams.

No I am afraid he is correct, and you, with best intentions, are simply denying the reality that the wings do not have the offense it takes to win the stanley cup. It's really painfully obvious if you can look at it in the perspective of either a) comparing our roster now to the rosters we had when we won the 3 cups, or b) look at our roster now compared to our competitions.

this line was very funny to me, "we don't have the offense it takes to win the stanley cup." Have a look at our Goals For and you'll see that we're first in the west, 2nd in the NHL - if not for a current, awful slump, we'd be number one without a doubt.

Just because our roster is down to 4 hall of famers, doesn't mean we can't win the Cup (see Carolina, Tampa Bay)... one or two players added to an oppositions roster isn't the end of the world... 20 guys dress, this isn't boring basketball.

I'll say it again, relax... it'd be nice if you used this enthusiasm inside the Joe so the decibel levels weren't such a joke.
