wings4thecup06 504 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Not a bad deal at all for Dallas. At least there's one less team to worry about in our division now to try and make the playoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetts 236 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Does anyone have rough comparables for those players (outside of Spezza) from within our organization? Because looking at that trade, I don't know most of the names, so it's kind of hard to gauge the deal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 I'm a huge Holland supporter and I think he is still doing a great job and is STILL one of the best GMs in the league. But look at what Nill is doing in Dallas. It's crazy how quick he is turning that team around. I strongly believe they will be a serious contender within a few years. Part of me wished he took over as GM of the Wings and Holland took on another role. Again, I love Holland, so please don't turn this into another Holland bash fest. Nill just gets s*** done. 2 e_prime and Z Winged Dangler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree and I have nothing but love for Jim Nill, but he also had a lot more money to work with and nowhere to go but up really. I'm withholding judgment for the next couple of seasons. 2 krsmith17 and Frozen-Man reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Nill a lot and think he is doing a great job but the team/situation he has and the road Dallas needs to traverse is very different than the team/situation that Holland has and the road Detroit needs to traverse are incredibly different.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Highway robbery by Dallas. One of the best C's in the game for 4 marginal prospects/picks. Chassion was a 2nd, paul was a 4th, the other guy was a 3rd, plus a second next year. So far this is 3 star players traded for next to nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

number9 3,297 Report post Posted July 5, 2014 Yzerman and Nill have both made great immediate impacts, but usually immediate impact comes at the price of the future. I'll reserve judgement until they have a few years under their belts. Also, I doubt either will draft like our staff does. We're the king of that hill still.
