I've questioned him for a while, I was never part of the 'Paul Holmgren is a genius' gravy train that's been on this board. I know why and where it came from, but Holmgren even acknowledged himself that the team was fortunate to make the playoffs last year. He said this past off-season would be challenging than in 2007. The off season was average at best, and then backed himself into a corner during the season.

The Alberts trade as a panic trade, that's why I call it that. It would be different if he didn't freak out over guys being injured and not doing dumb things like trading for Eminger, drafting the wrong goalie, and then not using the farm system. It's a mess that he's still cleaning up. Trading for Alberts might cost this team 3 players off the roster, in addition to the draft pick we give up, so tell me how that's worth it.
