Red Wings mailbag: Ken Holland, re-signing young stars and more

Taking advantage of the Detroit Red Wings being on bye-week to do another mailbag. As always, thank you for the questions.

HSJ: I anticipate Holland will have a role with the team, either as general manager or advisor. President and CEO of Ilitch Holdings, Chris Ilitch, gave Holland a vote of confidence at the end of last season. Within the organization, there is very much the understanding that the team is overdue to struggle — when the Wings drafted Michael Rasmussen at ninth overall last year, it was the highest the Wings had drafted since 1991.
