Holmgren landed exactly one established and good player in his entire GM career, that was pronger and he gave up the farm for him.
He's been great at getting promising prospects but after a certain amount of time, if you were really still believing Holmgren was gonna land a big name, just lol.
thats more then most gms land... players of that caliber are hardly ever traded and i have zero problems with what we gave up if pronger didnt get taken out by concussion he woulda made it more then well worth it..even what we had was worth it
he also made one hell of an offer at weber when he was an rfa to the point nashville prob almost didnt match it its not like he didnt try to add those elite caliber players he tried harder then most gms seem to
he made a lot of block buster deals too prob more then any other gm in the last 5 years ...guy wasnt a scared little pussy gm he made moves when they needed to be done
homer thrived on trades it was free agency that he wasnt the best with...hextall is the opposite seems like a good FA guy but horrible trader
which sucks becasue right now we need a trader gm thats not scared to pull the trigger on deals ... but not get shafted every trade like that hartsy for umburger one
