Correct course of action here.
Admit you made a mistake and get him off the team. He has no place on this roster.
No hope for a claim… Very expensive vet RHD for Grand Rapids the next two years.

3.4M for 3 years years is bad enough, but what kind of Yzerplanning went in to giving him a 10 team no trade list?

I dunno how we will recover.

So assuming he stays in Grand Rapids he costs 2.something for 2 years? Whatever. Not ideal but not crippling for the salary cap. It was the right move.
Absolute head scratcher.
I get wanting to insulate the young guys, but go find some other #7/8D for minimum to do the same job

Time to trigger some ppl
Yzerman is just Jim Benning with a HHOF playing career. Was part of an incredible organization because of other ppl’s work and now is getting exposed when trying to build a team from ground up

Holl is waived because Yzerman’s draft picks are working out.

Maybe San Jose claims him as a thank you for Walman and a 2nd?
Thats a huge stretch. Seider was already on the roster when Holl was signed. The only d-man Yzerman drafted that is making the lineup is Edvinsson. Edvinsson is a LHD playing the left side. That has no correlation to taking a RD spot but takes up 1 of the 7/8 d spots on the roster.
After looking at Detroits d-depth I wouldnt be surprised if Holl remains on the NHL roster unless they are running with only 6D.

That’s exactly how ppl defended Jim Benning
No, that is incorrect. Albert Johansson drafted in 2019 will also make the team.
ahh i was using daily faceoff's projected lineups which doesnt have Johansson in the lineup. Even with Johansson, unless 1 of them plays play rd, it shouldnt affect holl's spot in the lineup. Even if 1 plays rd, why wouldnt he be the #7.
2 lhd prospects making the team shouldnt be able to push out an everyday nhler rhd off the roster. No team is going to carry 5 lhd and 2 rhd when they have a legit option to make it 4-3. Even if 1-2 of those lhd can play the right side. 1 injury to one of those 2 rhd and now they are playing 5 lhd and 1 rhd.

Bad, yes.
Terrible, no!
Short term, low money.
Frans Nielsen was a terrible deal, this is nowhere near that.

If that was the case, Detroit would have traded him not eaten over 2M because literally no one wants him. At least not at 3.4M.
It's okay to admit Yzerman messed up here. He took a gamble on a "change of scenery" that didn't work.
RedHawkDown
still trying to trust the yzerplan
I mean, this just isn’t true. Holl isn’t an NHL level player, or he wouldn’t have cleared waivers.
