Már csak azért is a fiatalokat kellene nyomni, mert Datsyuk szerződése a következő szezon után lejár és lépni fog.

Holland azt mondja:
- Smith is an NHL defenseman. It's the best men's league in the world. He can skate hard and shoot well. We like him... he's young and we think we can get 10 years outta him. We're going to dress the best 6 defensemen. Smith is part of our rebuild or reload.
- Monster is in it to re-establish his career. He's Swede and likes we have team of Swedes. Have great 1-2 punch. Mrazek is doing well. McCullom is doing much better. They're ready if we need depth at goal.
- We like Brunner. WE ARE KEEPING HIM WITH ZETTERBERG. Brunner is obviously a world class player. He's getting an opportunity.
- Nyquist will either be on team after camp or stay in GR till injuries. (Little tidbit on Nyquist... sounds like he's to be in GR unless someone looks bad.)
