Jeremy Laura: Red Wings look to sweep panthers, Kane’s Nomination, prospect thoughts

I dont know if any of the defense prospects could be worse than Justin Holl. Maybe have just as many rookie mistakes as holl does mistakes.

He has to be a buyout consideration. I’ll take any of the players on the list over him. For physicality at right shot/shot blocking etc Tuomisto should easily grab that spot.

Both Holl and Petry have to go. I don't care if they go back to the 80s style of rotating three D, but it's time for those two to retire to the links.

Luckily Petry is UFA after this season. An extension would be a mistake, just allow him to hit. Holl, absolutely, buy out or waive

They should sit some players out and try to lose all the remaining games, accidentally on purpose

I expect some more rookies in the Red Wings lineup next season as I don't think they could do any worse than some of the current UFA's.

I think as much as that there are rookies who have earned the shot. For UFAs or trades, really would like to see a top 4 or top 2 legit Dman but otherwise there’s no reason not to give the opportunity for sure.
