Mrazek You would have to package all four of those guys to get a 3rd let alone multiples. Erection and Glendening wouldnt likely get picked up on waivers let alone be traded for. Abs and Helm had ok trade value until they ordered a "Ken Holland Special" contract. Now teams would be dumb to take them on at their salaries. This team isnt going to be crushed by the next 8 games. They were crushed when Holland didnt follow through and retire with Lids. Edited January 4, 2017 by GoalieManPat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bias aside, if Holland retired in 2012, do you truly believe a new GM would have been given the green light by Ilitch to clean house? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted January 4, 2017 (edited) Unlike most Nostradamus seer's in here, I have no idea how the next 8 games will go for us. Probably not well. The stats and the good old eye test tells me we are cooked. I do agree that this game stretch decides the outcome of the year. So either win 8 in a row or loose them all, in my opinion. You know which one I think is most likely. But the other option is possible, albeit.. Highly unlikely. Edited January 4, 2017 by Jacksoni Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joshy207 156 Report post Posted January 5, 2017 This team has won 3 of its last 31 games in regulation. 3 of 31. That's godawful. No way this team goes anywhere but down this year. The Streak TM is over, and Holland's reign should be as well. There are only a few tradeable pieces, so a true rebuild will be extremely difficult. Holland's rich loyalty conracts have really put this team over a barrel, and not just in the short-term. KH should be fired now, or at least be restricted from signing any more contracts. His successor will have one of the toughest jobs in sports, trying to restore this team even to mediocrity. The future in "Hockeytown" TM is pretty dark.

Euro_Twins 4,476 Report post Posted January 6, 2017 If the team can get their s*** together it can still make the playoffs. But as of now I do not see that happening. Especially with our 3 offensive dmen all out of the picture for a bit. The dynasty that once was has been forgotten and no one seems to care about the streak. 2 kliq and krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
