Ha ha, you Holland's think modus operandi is to sign free agents to reasonable term and money and to make trade that nets decent players..... post that on a Detroit Red Wings forum and see your responses. That is why he was being so heavily criticized the last few years. That and NMC/NTC's.
Get ready for no-trade clause contracts to 3rd/4th line players. Contracts that look really bad after year 3.
Let me help add some words to your vocabulary that you will be come familiar with.
"kicked the tires"
"trades are hard"
"trades only make sense if it is a significant upgrade"
"can't buy from the hockey store/tree"
"work the phone"
"I was pumping gas and his agent called"
"no market because of parity"
"over-ripened"
