After back to back starts that have seen Jimmy Howard meet “captain hook” from his head coach Jeff Blashill the trade market will surely plummet. It appears Detroit Red Wings general manager Ken Holland has once again missed the boat by holding on much too long to a pending free agent.
Last season Holland dropped the ball with Mike Green. He gambled and held on to Green waiting for a “better” deal, and the defenseman injured his neck. Teams shied away from Green although he returned to action prior to the trade deadline as they were nervous about his injury.
