Holland placed a bet on Sammy and lost. There was no indication prior that he was going to be as poor as he was with us. Holland's not perfect. But I'll certainly take his few bad contracts over the ridiculous ones other GMs sign.

Yeah, I don't recall Holland ever making a Wade Redden size mistake. He's STILL on NYR's books. No cap hit, but still...man.

Nothing official yet. Played 2 games of his 25 game tryout with the Binghampton Sens, was released and underwent knee surgery. He's probably done.
