I’m sorry, but I have no idea what Roy sees in Holden. Maybe he was great with the Avs, but since watching him very closely with the Rangers, he is not as defensively sound as everyone is making him out to be. He makes stupid mistakes, he attempts to clear the puck with as much effort or strength as a 92 year old woman, and turns the puck over as if it is his first time playing the position. I rather McIlrath play over him any day of the week.

Holden did not play well with the Avs. He was easily one of our worst defensemen, game after game. I’ve seen nothing but complaints from NYR fans, and Avs were lucky to get the 4th for him.

Well, stats say otherwise.

YEA, Gary night, AV should call you for your perspective and scouting report on Holden…
You must know so much more than a HOF goalie and successful NHL head coach. I’m sure AV will want you in on coaches meetings too …

What exactly has he done to make him a successful NHL head coach?

Win a division title in the toughest division in the league with a team that wasn’t expected to make the playoffs? Win coach of the year?

His team got worse each of the following 2 years and he was basically a .500 coach. One season does not make a successful NHL head coach.

.500 coach after his 1st and only successful season

Going to a Stanley Cup isn’t successful? 2 conference finals appearances? Playoffs in all of his seasons has head coach?
So what you’re saying is that unless you win the Stanley Cup- you’re an unsuccessful coach.
Don’t forget he’s had two different teams win the Presidents Trophy.

Sakic is easily one of the worst GMs in the league. So many terrible moves in such a short tenure, he’s mangled what should’ve been one of the best young teams in the league by this point.

While that type of move may have added to Patrick Roy’s decision to leave, it was a culmination of the way Joe Sakic — and, more significantly, the various CBJ staff now associated with the team — decided to drive the Colorado Avalanche. Basically, Roy didn’t think basing the Avs on one of the few teams (CBJ) that actually performed worse than them recently showed a Stanley Cup Attitude.
