<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaredOfLondon</b></div><div>I never said that, I was one of like three people here who actually knew what they were talking about with Holl (and Engvall and Kerfoot) while people whined about hitting and heart and other nonsense.

The Leafs need defence. Thanks to getting rid of Holl we also now cannot retrieve the puck and even if we did we can't move it up ice. Two things Holl did well. At this point they will need to move players to bring in defence and we need players who can do those things. From day one I said that while Holl is no defensive superstar He does things we desperately need and does them well. As for the price of players, if people aren't telling you how garbage your trades are they aren't realistic. Nashville needs some scoring. Jarnkrok can provide that. The other two are players that those teams are likely to trade and can provide things the Leafs are lacking. People are going to crap on it but something like this is what is needed or it's over already for the Leafs. Think is fans and coaches alike seem to think defence is worthless. The truth is I'm sick of everyone acting like you have to trade the top guys or that defensive structure isn't something that exists in the NHL anymore and all I want is a gm who has any idea what he's doing to do what needs to be done.
I get it. You guys hate defence and every game should be a basketball scoring game. Doesn't make you right. The Leafs need to do what needs to be done to win a cup and I don't care if it's an overpay. Just get it done.

I've been saying for the longest time that while sure he hasn't been the greatest D in the league he's been a really solid RHD. I've been pretty much the only one in a crowd of hate and I will tell you this. If and when Holl leaves Toronto (other than the locker room loving him I don't know why he would stay) Leafs fans are going to find out just how valuable he's been to this team. If Dubas doesn't pull another magic rabbit out of his arse Holl leaving will be painful. He's done everything we needed to do but fans "didn't like the mistakes he does make" despite the fact that he's consistently been a benefit to this team and not a liability.
He's been a + not a - his entire time with the Leafs each season other than 1 where he only played 11 games. He's played the majority every game as a defensive zone start and he's been a vital part of the PK and that's on a PK that's been damn good nearly the entire time he's been on it. and he's 2M aav playing as a 1st line D and looks like he belongs there.
Get ready Leafs fans because it's going to be 5-6m AAV just to replace him with what we already have and likely that player won't be as good as he's been this year. You wanted it, well thanks to the constant hatred you're going to get it, and you can bet fans of other fanbases on here are going to point that out every time you complain. To those fans, a humble suggestion from a leafs fan, Just say, "You weren't careful what you wished for."
(P.S. if we lose Willy it's going to be for a 5-6m aav Justin Holl that's not named Justin Holl and a forward not half as good as Willy)
