Detroit Red Wings: Now is not the time to be loyal to a fault

Ken Holland has struggled to move on from players he’s drafted and groomed in the past. I don’t know if it is ego, or stubbornness, possibly false hope. Whatever the reason, it’s time for the Detroit Red Wings long-time General Manager to change his philosophy and turn his loyalty into more of a defiant mood for the sake of the franchise.

The overvaluing of players have hampered the Detroit Red Wings for many years, but it always seems they overrate middle of the road players rather than the top end talent. Why didn’t we “overvalue” a star like Sergei Fedorov and try and mend the relationship rather than hold it against him and allowing him to walk?
