Holik incomprehensibly lost Ilya Kovalchuk, the most dangerous player in the league, at the side of the net on what became the winning goal in a 3-2 loss to the Thrashers, the NY Post reports.

Holik has played better of late, but with only 14 goals and 31 points on the year he has been a disappointment to both the Thrashers and his fantasy owners.
Holik, who hadn't played in two months because of a broken foot, was plus one in more than 14 minutes and won half of his 26 faceoffs.
Holik hopes to be back on the ice sometime next week, and is hopeful of a return for the Thrashers' final game before the Olympic break on February 11th.

If Bobby Holik does decide to leave New Jersey, which seems more and more likely as we get closer to July 1st, then it will mean that the Rangers have their chance to go after one of the better physical two way centers in the game.
Holik is rumored to be asking between $7 and $8 million per season and a deal which would take him past the upcoming controversial NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Holik hit the 25 goal mark this season for the third time in his career and ended the year with 54 points, a respectable number for a player who contributes to the team in so many ways.

Holik is the first significant addition of the year as general manager Don Waddell rebuilds the roster following a 2004-05 season lost to a labor lockout.
Holik's history as a winner and his potential to be a leader for such young players as Ilya Kovalchuk and Dany Heatley are at least as important to the Thrashers as are his skills on the ice.
Holik is expected to provide steady scoring and a defensive upgrade as a key member of the Thrashers' front line, but he also is expected to play a key leadership role off the ice.

Holik, who will reportedly earn $4.25 million this season, was widely considered one of the top two-way centers in the league when he signed a lucrative $45 million free agent contract with the Rangers prior to the start of the 2002-03 campaign.
A pivotal member of the New Jersey Devils' two Stanley Cup championship teams in 1995 and 2000, Holik failed to bring that winning mentality into the Rangers locker room, as the team missed the playoffs both years he was there.
The 34-year-old Holik spent 10 seasons in New Jersey after spending the first two years of his career as a member of the Hartford Whalers.

Bobby had delivered some controversial comments about the hockey club – his frankness never could be questioned – and I confronted Sather about it outside the Rangers’ room.
Sather allowed that there was precious little he could do and, apparently, Holik knew that and never really became the team player the Rangers had hoped he would be.
