from Nicholas J. Cotsonika of NHL.com,
"Am I open to making deals that I think are going to be better for us long term? Yeah," general manager Ken Holland said before a 3-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday. "But it's got to make sense. We're not a farm team."...
Clearing out contracts?
"Great to move somebody out," Holland said. "At the end of the day, if you don't have somebody to move in, you've got to go out and find somebody to move back in."
Giving roster spots to young players?
"They've got to be ready," Holland said....
"Whether we make the playoffs or don't make the playoffs, it's important to be competitive and not just throw a bunch of young kids on the ice and you have no chance and there's no structure and we think we're going to wake up down the road and all of a sudden you're going to be good," Holland said. "I don't believe in that."
