lets face the hard truth. holland wont do a jack s***.
we have: bert, dats, flipp, z, mule, cleary, helm, eaves, miller, abby, tootoo, nyqvist, tatar, andersson, emmerton, mursak and sammy....
too many forwards...
the best would be:
Flippula - Datsyuk - Cleary (Cleary is better then Bert, period.)
Franzen - Zetterberg - Samuelsson (Sammy is still decent, and these guys have some chemistry)
Eaves - Helm - Miller (fast, gritty line, 30 points each)
Bertuzzi - Abdelkalder - Tootoo (Physical line that can play some decent hockey)
"And Holmstrom?
- It's a difficult question. Much depends on what he is prepared to accept himself, says Detroit's general manager.
What do you mean?
- He would then probably have a different role. Less ice time. Do not play in any of the top chains. And given age is probably also a lower wage.
Holland continues:
- Right now I do not know how Thomas's reaction to it.
Detoitcoachen Mike Babcock has his theory clear.
- I think it will be a package deal. Continuing one of them will be the second to catch on. And of course I really want to either run for another year"
