Mac Hollowell has signed a new contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Solid signing

>stands at , which is little

>first name is Mac

At least if this hockey stuff doesn’t turn out, he can turn to boxing to make his living

The 2nd coming of just - in holl

His development pattern is interesting as there is a chance he becomes a very similar player to Dylan Demelo according to Byron Bader's prospect model and former Marlies assistant coaches.

future hall of famer right here

Solid Ahl signing.

who?
Just voted yes, bc any league minimum signing with RFA expiry is a good one.

People who hate the leafs did lul

I voted no. I just can't see Hollowell ever been an NHLer. Nice that he gets an inflated AHL salary for next season, but really he takes up a roster development spot.

Except that he will not have any recovery

Nice.

This would be true if the Leafs actually had quality prospects to develop. As it is, Hollowell is still young and has a decent pedigree, great OHL numbers (not that it means much), and could evolve into a guy who can step in as a #8/9 D-Man in lieu of injuries. It’s too bad - I’d had small hope for him when he first arrived.

Mostly tho I see this as solidifying the Marlies top-4 to keep them competitive and continue their playoff streak even while the prospect mill has largely run dry.
