Quoting: Jim_Benning_Almost
Oh!! You're being unnecessarily harsh on young Mr. Holl. He's a right handed shot who is defensively responsible and played some tough minutes for the Leafs. At $2M per year he's cheap enough as a 3rd pairing D-man who can occasionally step up substitute on the 2nd pair if needed, although wouldn't qualify as a top 4.
We will agree to disagree here but I am not helping the Leafs by taking on salary for 3 years on a bottom pair D. Maybe, its because we could have had Stecher cheaper and Troy could actually move the puck but I don't think they should give anything up for Holl at the worst. Leafs have to sign Mikheyev and Dermott with 400k in space on the cap. I ask for Dermott at that price of two draft picks.
Got to squeeze them and that is not an outlandish request in their position.
