from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
At the entry draft in Ottawa last month, Ken Holland stood holding court on the draft floor with a couple of newspaper types, trading war stories and describing his approach to luring talented players to the Detroit Red Wings.
“We sell dreams and happiness,” he said, unable to stop himself from chuckling. “Dreams and happiness.”
The Wings general manager was kidding, but only partly so. His hockey club, which boasts the most stable ownership/ management team in hockey as well as the most talented roster, has become the destination of choice for the best players in the sport.

“Dreams and Happiness” sounds catchier than “Stability and Competitiveness.”
Works out about the same, though.
