Absolutely awful contract by Stevie Y .

 

[Mrfenn92]

Was a silly deal for the wings

[NoShowWilly]

hahaha

 

[Holden Caufield]

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?

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I dunno how we will recover.

 

[Czechboy]

Wonder who will pick up Holl?

 

[saska sault]

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.

Some terrific Yzerplanning, if you ask me.

 

[WingsToPick4th]

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.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Stat nerds tried to tell us he's good.

That’s exactly how ppl defended Jim Benning

No, that is incorrect. Albert Johansson drafted in 2019 will also make the team.

 

[Canuck Luck]

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.
