Sounds like they have talked to Pujujarvi's agent but that is about it.
Holland also talks about their free agent needs and says that their defense is the deepest part of their team, LOL.

I was going to slam him, but he actually might be right. That team is the most shallow team possible IMO. If you're generous and say they have 5 NHL caliber forwards, 5/12= 42% of players that aren't replacement level. On d you could probably generously argue that 4/6=67% are NHL level, just playing a full pair above where they should be.
So, is Holland realistic or deluded? I suppose it depends on if he thinks they have high end D talent... they do not. Low end D depth, high end top 2 forwards, and a whole lot of garbage in between.
