Confirmed Signing with Link: [DET] Steve Ott (1 year, $800k)

[Ezekial]

The Griffins are going to be really good next season with all the quality young guys being shoved down to the AHL.

I'm not sure what Holland's plan (lol) is.

Make it so none of his future players want to resign with the club..

Why is Detroit doing this?

We've had too many playoffs and Cups. No one cut us off and now te franchise is punch drunk.

 

[Moskau]

Detroit is just getting back the 2012 Buffalo Sabres co-captains.

If you looked up nepotism in the dictionary there should be a picture of Ken Holland. Guy is living off a scouting staff from a decade ago.

 

[sureWhyNot]

By this point do you mean the last 5 years?

Yup.

 

[FissionFire]

This offseason went from exciting with all he cap space to depressing with the lack of any apparent plan. Ken Holland is an idiot. Ilitch should have forced him to take the president role or tossed him out instead of letting Yzerman leave. Hell, he was willing to jettison on of the best GMs in baseball, why can't he figure out that his hockey team desperately needs a new vision? Or really any vision at all.
