if you're a Leafs fan, you might be the first I've seen that isn't loading Holl into a trebuchet to get him as far away from the Scotiabank Arena as possible
He'll be traded for a draft pick. He holds value. Most rational people wanted Liljegren in, instead of Holl. Keefe made the other choice, but that's no Holl's fault, but we know how fans can be. It was reported around the time of the Dermott trade that other teams valued Holl more than Dermott, and Derms got a 3rd. I would expect the same for Holl, factoring in that prices are usual inflated around the deadline.
It's also possible the Leafs keep Holl, though, I only anticipate that if we aren't able to re-sign Lyubushkin.
I guess the overall point is, if we can run Brodie, Liljegren, Lyubushkin next season, which is likely ideal for us, with the talent of Brodie and Liljegren, and the physicality of Lyubushkin, we don't really need to add a Scott Mayfield on RD.
I like Mayfield, and wanted us to try and get him at the deadline, but once the Lyubushkin trade happened, it took away the RD need.
