«I feel we have unfinished business,» Holland told reporters when asked about his future.
That said, he didn't want to commit to the possibility of an extension.
«I will honour my contract, but at my age, I don't invest in green bananas because I don't know for sure if I will be around to see them ripen.»
«I'm trying, we're trying. Other teams are trying,» Holland said. «That's why it's the Stanley Cup. It's hard. We're there, we're banging away, we're pushing. Our guys came out here, they're devastated. I'm devastated, the fan base is devastated. Why are we devastated? Because we went 14-0-1 headed into the playoffs. We had the second-best record in the National Hockey League behind Boston since the first of January. Boston's devastated.»
«Some players who sign long term, big deals often struggle the first year with their new team as they put a lot of pressure on themselves,» explained Holland. «I've seen many have a better second year, and I expect that will be the case.»
