Holland had moved into "I might not agree with everything he does, but I'm not saying **** anymore" territory with me after winning the Cup with a salary cap in place.
But this offseason so far has been pure genius. Landing the 2nd best goalie on the market for the 2nd LEAST amount of money was great. Getting the best forward on the market to turn down 7 years at the max salary (or whatever the B's were offering) to sign a one year deal is absolutely incredible.
And you gotta respect Hossa for leaving 75 mill on the table to try to win a Stanley Cup. My next call would be to Mats Sundin. "Mats, Ken Holland here. As you've heard, we signed Marian Hossa. If you want a Cup, you know where to come. We've got 2 million in cap room left. If you want it, it's yours. Otherwise, I'd suggest grabbing the money from Vancouver because you're not winning the Cup anywhere else. Let me know."
