To be fair to Holland, the bottom six from last year was a complete failure, so it does make sense to replace them. It will be interesting to see if bubble NHLer Jurco is better than bubble player Rattie. Both once had some optimism around their careers...both have never really lived up to it. But sometimes you do find a guy who just needed a new situation and thrives, so it's a low cost gamble.
I wish we could see the team address it's most glaring problems - another top-four right shot defenceman, a couple of sniper wingers to play on the top two lines, the complete purging of anyone in a Vice-Chair position - but it's not looking like we'll see those things happen this summer.

I agree with your summary here but wonder if a new coach/manager combo could turn the bottom six around? Maybe make them dealable even? I thought Rieder, Rattie, Puljujarvi and about six other players looked like they had no confidence at all due to a lack of coaching OR being coached to play a system that didn't focus on their strengths. Other than the first couple of weeks of Hitch's tenure when they started playing "hockey" based on systems I recognized, I thought last season emphasized the complete strategic failure of Darth Lowe's assembly of yes men and nincompoops.
As noted, you are totally right, Adam: there are holes to be filled and purging to be done.
