If I was a Wings fan, I am not sure I'd find it interesting; I'd be disappointed. Holland has done some terrific work for the Wings over the years but he is driving the bus in the wrong direction and I am not sure he's the guy to get it back on track.
I hope it works out for ya.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
As a die hard wings fan for life I am super disappointed with the Wings brass bringing back Holland. Too many bonehead free agent signings, bad trades, and bad contracts. The Wings have so much salary tied up to average at best players and hands out NMC's and NTC's like they're breath mints.
The guy has overstayed his welcome in Detroit in my opinion. He was great pre-cap when he had Mr. I's open check book and could bring in a lot of top talent. But you can obviously tell he is NOT built for the cap world. I wish the Wings would let him go and bring in someone new. The wings management and Ken himself are far too loyal to their players. I respect that to an extent... but they take it to the extreme. The wings need help all around and with Kenny boy at the helm its not going to happen. They are going to be stuck as a crappy team for the next few years with the contract and cap restraints we will have.
I'd love to see Stevie Y. return home after seeing what he's done in Tampa... but I don't know if I see that happening... unless he wants the challenge. I mean look at whats he's got going on down there vs what we got lol.
But yes, I agree with you Axe he's not the right guy to drive the bus at all. Sigh... I am 30 years old and barley remember the first few years of my life. So as far back as my memory recalls the wings have been awesome and a playoff team. This is unfamiliar territory for me and its weird. I don't like it lol.

I did not like that Vanek gets a NTC in his one-year deal. He's a prime trade deadline target for the Wings to move and capture some futures...
I also did not like Green getting two-years and also a NTC in his deal...
Signing Bernier, allows for the Wings to use Bernier and ____ and possibly move Howard's contract.
This team is chalk full of bad money. Nyquist surely gets dealt by the deadline, one would think. That's $4+mil off the books and at minimum Kronwall's money comes off after this year.
Wings have some good prospects and are kind of reloading, but gotta kill the bad money first.
Anyone hearing what Dylan Larkin's new contract is going to come in at? I've budgeted his cap hit at $5M in my dynasty league, but I'm hoping he gets less than that on a 1 or 2 year bridge deal.

Interesting comments from Blashill on Zetterberg. I am assuming he's going to fulfill his contract seeing as he hasn't made any comments otherwise.

Coach Jeff Blashill isn't sure what the status of Henrik Zetterberg is at this moment.
"At this point, I haven't heard anything from Henrik to say that he is or is not playing," Blashill said. "The biggest thing with Henrik is, how healthy is Henrik? I know he spent the whole second half of last season not practicing because of his back. He ground it out because he is the ultimate warrior, one of the best I have ever been around, and was able to still be a real good player. But that continues to take a wear and tear on your body. So I think he is in the process of deliberating to see where is his back at? And only Henrik can answer that and it will be answered I am sure come camp time." A report earlier this off-season indicated that Detroit was preparing for the possibility that Zetterberg may not be available.

If you're preparing for a bridge, budget for the Golden Gate.... I think Larkin is getting a 6 year deal and north of 5M. Dude is a stud, pure and simple and I traded him in his sophomore season like a complete idiot. I haven't heard anything, but I am guessing they skip the bridge on this one.

I've been on the bandwagon since early in his rookie campaign. He just passed the eye test for me. So even after a disappointing sophomore season that say him record only 32 points after a 45 point debut, I was still high on him. The good old eye test! Haha, my version of Trouble with the Curve apparently!

He passed my eye test too. He's the only player I traded after he passed my eye test and I kept the guy who failed it. I polled mobs after mobs of hockey fans about Sam Bennett vs Dylan Larkin and they swore up and down Bennett was gonna be better. I went with it because I made a mistake between Patrik Berglund and Kyle Okposo (who I thought failed my eye test) and learned that lesson hard. I never get it right lol....
I did get it right with Karlsson though lol. You know what, I<m gonna start a thread about this haha.

Hate to dash dreams, but I don't see anyway Larkin gets 5m. Go up, way up. They're talking Nylander 6+ and Larkin is the star in Detroit... 6-8 years and 7m would not shock me. I wouldn't even be surprised
