Yes!
Bring Torts back as well, and get Dubinsky more involved.
The proud CBJ tradition must live on!

That's why he's still working. To give his buddies incomeIf this happens and he gives Tyler Wright even more work in this league I will laugh so hard
I think he will take a good deal around 8.5-9MBouchard bridge looks like a huge mistake, man. He's going to get 9.5+ at very least on his new deal. Could have had him for 4-5 years at 4-5 million if we'd gone longer term.
1. I agree though I didn’t think he’d be wasting away in the AHL.He has done some nice things
Bad
1. Campbell
2. Nurse
3. Not getting value for Yamamoto
4. Drafting + Development of Holloway, Borberg, Lavoie, Bourgueult etc
Not as bad as ppl pretend he is, but at his age he should just retire. f*** working
It's not about the money the guy obviously loves what he does. Everyone posting here would do the same.
I think hes gets a worse rap than he deserves. He’s done more good than bad.
That being said, the drafting under Holland/Wright has been terrible. I also don’t love how he handled young players coming up.
With Columbus main guys drafted, there are probably worse picks than Holland. I wouldn’t trust his drafting with Columbus still drafting high though. But he should just retire imo.
Under Holland the Oilers haven't even managed a division title. They make the second round consistently, but no one is particularly impressed beating the Kings in the first round annually. He also inherited McDavid and Draisaitl. The good is pretty marginal.I think hes gets a worse rap than he deserves. He’s done more good than bad.

1. Hyman deal
2. RNH deal
3. Kane trade + deal
4. Bouchard bridge
5. Ekholm deal + extension (think that they extended him)

5.125M for 70 pts is a top 5 best $ value contract in the leagueRNH deal is fair for what it is. Yea, he had 104 points last year but other than that hes never hit 70. $5.125m/year is fair for what he brings.
I don't hate the idea because of what he's done with the Oilers. I hate it because of what he did to the Red Wings.I don't like it as a Jackets fan, but folks are also going overboard here to trash his job in Edmonton. It's been mixed.
Do folks not remember the Oilers club that Ken Holland took over? It was bad. Chiasson, Kassian, and Lucic were in the top six forward scorers. The Oilers currently are a contender.
The same could be said of dubas who not only got hired, but promoted with a big raise…it blows my mindlol how do you look at what he has done in Edmonton and want to hire him
I didn't see this anywhere. Every report at the trade deadline was Calgary would've traded us Tanev if they didn't have to take back Ceci. It was reported Ceci+1st for Tanev.I don't necessarily blame him for not getting Markstrom or Tanev. Flames were under orders to not trade with Edmonton anyways. But yes he should have fixed the team's 2nd pairing and goaltending by now.
as always one of his biggest problems is how he's loyal to a fault
it took him 4 years in Edmonton to dump Wright when he shouldn't have even brought him with him to Edmonton to continue being his Amateur Scouting Director to begin with given the results in Detroit
Holland in charge of a team in the East?
Yes please!
I say this as a Jackets fan: if there's one thing you can always count on from the Blue Jackets it's to screw up something obvious. This org will happily bounce from blunder to blunder and then look around all shocked pikachu when oopsies, it was in fact a blunder, why is everyone so mean to us? And then learn nothing, just in time for the next blunder. There was never any hope the next GM wouldn't be some old boys' club hire JD knew in 1980 who he can easily pitch to the humorless, risk-averse-to-a-comical-degree bean-counter in charge since inception, and ownership who could not give less of a shit. People who think the Blue Jackets would ever hire someone like Eric Tulsky or Emilie Castonguay are hilarious.Hockey management is one of the few places that ageism has not yet reached.
I for one hope this is not true. Why would we do this to Columbus? Why?
