"If we were getting Duncan at $2.75m the cost would have been higher. It was we would give up more assets and get less cap or go with the current deal." Holland on why there was no salary retention.
"People can analyze the deal. I have to make a deal. I feel our team is better today. We dealt a young player who wasn't established for a player who is. The hope is that Duncan will bring a lot on the ice and some intangibles that are difficult to put a price on."
"You say that he's on the decline, but nobody knows. We're going to go through training camp and the games will decide. He's been a great player for a long time."
"I'm aware of the analytics and they weren't as good as his prime. I'm not asking him to play that role, Nurse will. In a lesser role I think he can help, and I hope he will be excited about a new challenge. After all the information we looked at, I am happy to add Keith"
"The cap number is a liability if he doesn't play well. Right now everyone is speculating. Analytics can give you a guide. Stats can give you a guide, but no one knows for sure how players will react. At this stage of his career he's a second pair defenceman." Holland on Keith.
"This has been two weeks in the making, we went back and forth, I talked to my coach, we've looked at analytics, we've called people around the league, and ultimately, I made the decision that I think Duncan Keith will be a great addition to this hockey team."
"I'd like to re-sign Adam. Ultimately it is his decision if he wants to sign here. Acquiring Keith has no impact on our ability to sign Adam. We have cap set aside for him." Holland on Larsson.
"The chances of Oscar Klefbom of playing in 2021/2022 are very low."
