No, he turned down more money because he wants to win.

Pocklington deserves credit for the Oilers success. But he was a villain well before he stripped the team. It's just that not as many people knew about it.
I'm hoping JJ hires Mark Hunter. I can get down with that. If he'd be cool leaving London for a wack at Lord Stanley.
Your missing the point. You say Holland had nothing to do with Henrique's return. I proved he wanted him back.No, he turned down more money because he wants to win.

Sure Henrique wanted to win instead of play for a few thousands more in Winnipeg (also known as the lowest rated city to play in).

Somewhat agree.
Gainers was...interesting. At the time, he had supporters though. Until he sold Gretzky claiming he needed the cash because of said Gainers.
IMO, if he hadn't sold Gretzky many things would've been glossed over.

Aside from the Oilers it was not just Gainers he ruined.

But most people don't know of those things.
That's my point. No destruction of Oilers, no real villain. He would've been hated by some for Gainers, etc., but not villain status.

Oh I agree. Most people would not know about it. But he would still have been a villain, just far lesser known.

There are probably a few people in the world who consider us villains.
Holland could've wanted Crosby too, but that doesn't mean it was going to happen lol. That's why i posted a link saying Henrique wasn't going to be back (due to us not being able to afford him), followed by one where he talked about deciding on July 1st that he would (because winning is more important). Ultimately, JJ was able to hammer out a deal that allowed him to stay.
Lol, talk about missing the point!

Sometimes miracles
Visiting Yamo at his summer home.
Do you actually believe Henrique would have come back if he was offered $5 million x 5 years somewhere else?
Without looking I think Winnipegs offer was 500 grand more. For a guy who has made over 40 million that was chump change.
Sure JJ finalized the contract already offered by Holland, it is called negotiations.

He was never going to be a long term option. I think we all expected him to only be here for a cup of coffee.

Yes actually. He was offered more money AND term. Look it up, as it's all out there. Sure af Holland didn't have a contract offered to Henrique before FA, and it's idiotic to think he did. Rico was one of the last signings that day. How was Holland supposed to know what our cap space situation was going to be? Think about it...and then think again.

He, Brown and Janmark discussed coming back the day before free agency. He repeatedly said "decided to come back", I assume to the contract he was offered. He mentions/questions if he went to another team for a LITTLE bit more money would he be happy.
No time in this interview does he mention JJ came to him with a contract like you believe.
Conclusion: you proved nothing and I cannot prove there was a contract offered by Holland except Friedmans 32 thoughts stating he will be offered a contract.

Why’s he visiting Johnny Hockey?
I missed the part where Holland (who was no longer with the Oilers) was involved in the coversation with Rico, Janmark, and Brown about the possibility of coming back a day before FA
Good lord, I advised you to think! Of course JJ went to his agent with an offer...that's how it works. Holland was well out of the picture by that point.Once again, how would Holland know what cap space would be available to offer Rico as a contract months before FA? Are you serious lol? Just stop man.
You're confusing wanting someone to come back (no shit, as the 3rd line was fire) with offering an actual contract. Holland did no such thing.

Whatever you say Yuke. You've gone from "Holland had a contract in place" to "Rico, Janmark and Brown talked to each other about the possibility of coming back a day before FA".
They must have all been talking about the contract extensions Holland offered them during the playoffs or even when they were initially signed or traded for!

He was a business man first. Made some bad decisions in tough times. It happens. Spending some of the money from the Gretzky trade on a lakefront Kelowna house wasn't the best look though.
Grade 10 reading.Whatever you say Yuke. You've gone from "Holland had a contract in place" to "Rico, Janmark and Brown talked to each other about the possibility of coming back a day before FA".
I said Hplland had the original offer out. JJ completed the negotiations.
I also said, neither one of us can prove our points
