List of things "up Holland's sleeve" over the past decade:
Signing Franzen long-term over Hossa (our last 40-goal scorer)
Losing Janmark and Backman for a 36-year-old Erik Cole who only played 11 games for us.
Losing Jarnkrok for a 33-year-old Legwand, who played 21 games for us.
Losing various prospects to waivers.
Signing Jonathan Ericsson to a 6-year, $25.5 million contract with an NTC.
Signing Abdelkader, at age 29, to a 7-year, $29.75 mil contract with an NTC.
Signing a injury-ridden, 29-year-old Darren Helm to a 5-year, $19.25 million contract with an NTC.
Losing out on Chychrun in order to dump Datsyuk's contract on Arizona so that we would have room to negotiate with Stamkos... who wouldn't even take a meeting with us.
Protecting an ageing and injury-prone goalie on a horrible, untouchable contract over a young prospect who has shown flashes elite athleticism and coordination and who will be an RFA after next season.
That's just off the top of my head. I want off Mr. Holland's Wild Ride.
