Sujet: If Ken Holland Werent an Awful GM
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Letter_Kenny</b></div><div>Ken Holland drafted Zadina over Hughes, Bouchard and Dobson. Passed on Chychrun to dump the Datsyuk zombie contract. Then proceeded to draft Dennis Cholowski after he swapped first round picks with new Coyotes GM Chayka.

Holland once waived Kyle Quincey. Then traded a 1st to get him back. Yzerman used that pick to draft Vasilevskiy. Holland once lowballed UFA Marian Hossa saying "I have to earmark 3 million for Jiri Hudler."

Hossa signed with Chicago who offered a million more.
He went on to win 3 Cups with Chicago. Hudler went to play in Russia. Kenny boy signed Jason "I stink" Williams. Good times. 👍

He also drafted Evgeny Svechnikov over Sebastian Aho. 👍</div></div>

Yeah, I was covering just his tenure with the Oilers and didn't even talk about drafting but yeah, his problems run so deep. So many mistakes. I don't know how the Oilers managed to hire the two worst GMs in hockey, it doesn't make sense to me.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>MTL fans are so precious. Only they would think two bottom 6 guys get a top D prospect. I’ll be honest this is for fun, at least make trades that the other team would consider. Nobody trades a top of the food chain defensive prospect for 2 bottom 6 forwards that is freaking stupid. You could MAYBE convince a team for a 2nd rd pick and a throw away contract to balance the cap, but that is straight awful not a GM in the league does that trade if they are COL.</div></div>

The point of this trade was that I really want Lehk in Colorado. You can swap Barron for a less valuable prospect and that's fine with me. I'd gladly take on a bad contract but I don't think Colorado really has any bad contracts. Erik Johnson is expensive but he's been with Colorado for so long and he's been solid this season so even then it's not a terrible contract.

My god, you guys get so riled up, it's Armchair GM. :squinty

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>evelutions2</b></div><div>You clearly have never actually watched Skjei play. He is NOT a cap dump by any means, so you can scratch that narrative. Offensively, he may not be that good, I agree, but defensively he is really good. When Slavin was out during the Nashville series, Skjei stepped his game up and ate the minutes that Slavin would have eaten. Canes probably would have lost the Nashville series if we didn’t have Skjei. Now if we are talking about bad players, you can put that label on J. Anderson. He has not lived up to his contract at all, whereas Skjei has lived up to expectations and surpassed them.

And what’s funny about this is that you call him bad and then put him on your top pairing. Players aren’t going to be on top lines/pairings if they are “bad”. This post is nothing but a troll.

And if you are wanting that package from Carolina, you better be offering Romanov and Caufield, plus more.</div></div>

I wouldn't necessarily say that Skjei isn't a cap dump.
Also, I'm not saying Anderson has lived up to his contract either. I don't think it's a good contract at all. But, GMs tend to pay premiums for power forwards.

Also, I put him on the top line because it felt weird putting 5mil on the 3rd pairing. Like his competition for that spot is Clague and Beaulieu, I wouldn't say that it's that much of a compliment.

Yeah, I probably got a bit cocky asking for Suzuki and a 1st but like I'm not an actual GM, you don't have to get so rattled. I'm not trying to troll, I'm just jotting down ideas. :squinty
