Ken Holland On The Trade

Holland just met with the media...

via Nick Cotsonika tweets,

Holland said he could have waited a few more days, but the Flyers needed a goalie now. Not a lot of other teams looking for goalies.

Holland: "In order to be where we want to be, I have to acquire draft picks, and we have to hit on those draft picks."

Holland: "I don't believe in massive rebuilds." Got to slowly move in young players but keep veterans to teach and create internal competition.

added 10:17am, Cotsonika...

Holland said his mindset isn't so much about this season or next, but down the road.

added 10:26am, Cotsonika again...

Holland on returning to Cup contention: "There's going to be some pain along the way."

About Abel to Yzerman

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
