Kerfoot was kind of just there most of the time imo.
Holl was a legitimately large negative impact because of how overplayed he was.

You can get "plugs" for like $775k on a one year.
If Holland signed this contract as Detroit GM, he'd be getting absolutely roasted right now.

I know. So why not get him (before he signed), or Dumoulin, Graves, Hamonic, etc. There's no need to pay Holl 3.4 mil and give him 3 years for something you could do for much cheaper.
I'm just saying if the guy who signed this contract was Ken Holland, Detroit fans would be all over him. Stevie Y is untouchable though.
Detroit has a bunch of young LHD coming into the league the next two years. Holl could be a good guy for these kids to pair with while adapting to the league

He sometimes hits. People are mean to him. You won't enjoy him.
This is our SC Parade. What is Yzerman thinking. My god the fact that I never have to see Holl in a TML jersey ever again brings tears of Joy to me.

No and no. He got the shit beat out of him by the Nuge this year.

He had trash kine Corburn and Sutr for years when they needed to improve their bottom pairs. They were big blunders in the playoffs like Holl was for the Leafs too

The Wings make this move to hit the cap floor and finish out the roster. It's not a serious NHL move. Yzerman is going for an outright tank next year.
I don't understand what this ownership and management group is doing. Last year was the year to tank. Why do you sign Larkin to an 8 year deal and then immediately trade his best friend on the team and proceed to tank your draft, your offseason, and the next season.
This isn't Yzerman, this is ownership finally saying "yeah, we're a cap floor team, and as long as I make money off revenue sharing I'm fine with it".

Justin seems like a nice guy, the team loved him. Happy he gets his pay day but even happier it's with a division rival.
I was literally just thinking about how today might be the most tempered, level headed opening day in forever, then boom ....
Avoids body contact, soft stick checker, Schenn would of been perfect for this young Red Wings team, Yzerplan not going well.

He played 8 playoff games, he didnt play more because the Leafs were trying to win. He was shit the previous year too. I have watched plenty of leafs hockey cause I enjoy watching them lose.
Justin Holl is a terrible defensemen.

Presumably Johnson is a human being who can choose where he signs and not just automatically go to Detroit if they want him. Might need to outbid Buffalo. He's also older.

Yikes. Wings rebuild has really gone off the rails last couple years. Condolences to wings fans.
He will throw a hit here and there, but he consistently gets out muscled in front of the net. That and he got beat up by Ryan Nugent Hopkins.. no toughness I'm afraid.
