Description
I would be okay with adding him to the FO in some capacity, but not GM.

I feel like Holland would go sign some average to above average vets to fill holes, much like Jarmo did with Nyquist, Gudbranson, Kuraly, Severson.

I really think this organization needs to bring in a fresh perspective, not an old head. Guys like Bergevin and Holland are big NOs from me.

Isles aren't trading Nelson. Lee and a 1st for Laine and you probably have a deal.

I keep seeing Jackets fans post Texier to Montreal, and I get that a lot of people shortcut to "Habs always trade for French guys" (not even true), but Texier isn't even the right kind of French

You want nothing to do with Ken Holland. The Red Wings basically started their rebuild in year negative 3 because of all of the bad contracts they had to wait out. He doesn’t know how to navigate a cap world.

Personally, I think we should start collecting more sons of NHLers who happened to be born while their dads were playing for the Blue Jackets. We've already got Sillinger, so of course Spacek should also be acquired.

They should trade Nelson just not for this package

Zito was the dream. Darche or Tulsky would be fine by me, Holland or Bergevin would fill me with dread.

Same. Darche, Tulsky, or Mark Hunter are my guesses.

One of them comes in, gets an Associate P. of Hockey Ops for a few season alongside GM title. If all goes well, JD steps down, they get promoted, maybe Nash becomes the new GM.


But yeah, they're probably going to dissapoint us and go with Ken ****ing Holland.

I think we all understand that there is a big difference between France/French people and Canada/French speaking Canadiens, but part of the logic in trading Tex to Montreal may be Jackets fans wanting to trade him to somewhere where he might feel more at home also.

It would be nice, but as other Habs fans in the threads have pointed out, Montreal simply wouldn't be interested
