Strong chance Detroit re-signs Helm before noon.

I like the dude but he's somewhat redundant on this team and I'm terrified he's going to get an Abdelkader-like contract.

Yes

I for one am excited for a Vanek-Zetterberg-Tatar/Nyquist line that's going to get checked so goddamn hard that they're going to leave orbit and crash into the sun


I'm excited to keep all the young guys in Grand Rapids and win the Calder Cup, while not winning an NHL playoff game.

Uppercut Holland into an industrial sized woodchipper if he doesn't move a few of his 67 forwards for defense. Motherfuck. MotherFUCK.

Bye, Athanasiou, Nyquist, Tatar.

Leave Andreas out of this! He's cool and good!

He is cool and good, but he's not in his 30's and a plodding depth forward who had star power in the late-'00s.

Ilitch wanted Holland to take a promotion so Yzerman could be the GM and Holland said no

And Ilitch didn't pull the loving trigger anyway

And now Steve Mother loving Ott is a Red Wing.

gently caress this franchise and every enabler in it

Ilitch should've just fired Holland.

Ilitch should fire Holland now.

gently caress you, Ken. gently caress you to loving death.

Who realistically would this management team let them beat out? Larkin? Tatar?

quote:

Yep, Ilitch desperately wanted to keep Yzerman in the fold and approached Holland and told Ken that he should accept a “promotion” upstairs and name Yzerman the GM. Make no mistake about it, Mike Ilitch didn’t want the golden child to flee to Florida.

But Holland told Ilitch that move wouldn’t be fair to Jim Nill and he refused to do it. But that was a bunch of bullshit. Holland just didn’t want to give up final say over player personnel decisions so now we don’t have Nill or Yzerman and we are stuck with one of the five worst GM’s in the entire league.

Which inexplicable shithead signing by Holland made RWAS madder? Ott or Tootoo?

Ott, by far. We were already livid at that point.

Who knows? Maybe Steve Ott will attend the Olympics in Rio next month and miss the whole season after frolicking in their turd water.

Maybe we can get Ken Holland to miss the season after frolicking in turd water
