Only people who don’t know our prospects complain that we have no prospects.
Why don’t we keep our best penalty killer for the playoffs?

I don't think that was the case.
People didn't mind bringing in Timmins, they just would have preferred another player than Douglas moved for him which is reasonable, IMO.
Good teams don't worry about that.
Holl takes up so much minutes on the PK, I don’t see how it makes much sense to move him plus this season our backend has struggled to stay healthy. I think you let him walk and sign a league minimum guy next year and push Timmins up in line up. Plus the boys absolutely love Holl. He seems to be a glue guy in the locker room so he has value to the team for a deep run.

Before the trade for Timmins was made and aside from Douglas being tough, he had 1 assist in 13 games this season with the Marlies. So, it's not like Dubas took a major risk in trading him and it being like the Mason Marchment for Dennis Malgin trade.
That could have worked against us if he develops to his potential.
We may very well have been looking at a higher resigning cost for a 2nd and subsequent years.

What’s not to like there? Great depth, and I think he’s a top 6 if given a long leash.

I absolutely love this trade. Turned a near zero asset on the outs into something that's more than a project. And this extension is a no lose situation as well. Timmins is a modest improvement in mobility from guaranteeing himself another decade in this league.
P.S. I remember saying something to the effect that most orgs blast a grunt into the center of the sun if all he does is shrug his huge shoulders at an opponent blasting his goalie. Well, he did end up in Arizona.

Seems like an easy Holl replacement. With better offence but some work needs to be done on bad turnovers the odd time.
Timmins is still really young too despite all the injuries.
This is a really good deal right now.
Hopefully the cap shoots up this off season. These deals will come in handy to round out the forwards.

Already shown he can be an effective third pairing d-man, though his defensive game needs refinement and development. But that's hard to complain about 59 games in.
Assuming he can be relatively healthy there's no reason he can be a good fit in the long term. Some nice upside.
For context Holl didn't become a third pairing regular until he was 28.

oh yeah? read the posts!!!! lots of ambivalent people lol. No real hate for it tho.
Look this whole trade garbage and get Timmins, show he is NHL calibre and with some seasoning 2nd paring, and now signing him for a notch above league minimum for 2 years STILL will not make the Dubas haters happy.
Kinda shows you that you can't please some fans.
Our D is not looking too bad for the next little bit.
I think some people forget how young our D are.
Rielly (28) - Liljegren (23)
Sandin (22) - Timmins (24)
Kral (23) - Niemela (20)
Mete (24) - Villeneuve (20)
Free agent signings and trades will likely help fill some holes, but having those players cost-controlled or on long contracts for a while is a nice start.

Maybe we should be looking for more gifts in Arizona...

Holl is better defensively but Timmins is miles ahead offensively. Hopefully with experience the work in his own end cleans up. He has potential to be a way better version of Holl if he does.
