Holland rejects Edmonton interest.

[Mitchrapp]

Thank you. YES.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I still think Holland goes to Seattle where he'd be perfect there. Imo.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Agree, he would be perfect for the Seattle job.

But its gotta be his decision. Plus, he's been with the Wings since the early 80s. If he wants to stay, I have no issues. Especially since he isn't GM anymore.

 

[Mitchrapp]

He made some great draft picks and got us cups.. Like any GM he gets shit on a lot but we could have had worse.

 

[biggunsbob]

Hey it’s April 19th ! Was it planned like that ?

 

[biggunsbob]

Watching some of the press conference Henrik Zetterberg is a handsome man.

I think he should have a role somewhere..

 

[biggunsbob]

I think he should have a role somewhere..

Sounds like he stays here during the season and goes to Sweden in the off season. Sign him up !

The look on Holland's face when Chris Illitch announces Yzerman as new GM.

Having shit on him a lot over the years, feel sad for the guy.

During the presser he seemed fine and genuine excited for Yzerman to be here. Could be just show of course.. I'm curious when would the Seattle Franchise want their GM in so to speak. I would think within' 2-3 months if not sooner.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oops, somehow I thought they were starting in the 20-21 season.

I believe that was original intent. However, given the possibility for a 4th lockout in 20-21, they have delayed it until the next full season.

A couple of key interviews.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Good interviews, both. Like when Holland talks about sacrifice, good of the organization. It was his time to step aside..

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Pierre LeBrun was speculating Holland could be potential GM for Edmonton or Seattle.

[Mitchrapp]

I suspect Seattle. Imo it's a better job.
