<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Holl has looked good every time he's played for the past 3 seasons, Babs never gave him a chance. Finally he got a chance and earned top 4 minutes and was successful. Could he flop? Maybe, but he could be as good as last year along Muzzin and it's doubtful the Leafs will have as many injuries as last year. So in all likelihood, Holl will once again do great with Muzzin. And that is definitely great. Brodie will hopefully help Rielly once again join the Norris conversation and then the bottom pair will be interesting. Either way TO is going to be much better than last season.</div></div>

3 seasons?? 80 games??

He never got a chance?? or never earned a chance or won a roster spot. There’s a difference.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>That is just a thoughtless response. Holl was effective and saying he was so is just stating a fact. No one is calling him a saviour. Just stating the reality that he was very good alongside Muzzin. And for 2 million that is terrific value. Calling him Ceci is just stupid. Ceci was asked to play next to Rielly and drove his season into the ground.</div></div>

A thoughtless response to his thoughtless response.

Yes, he played well last year with Muzzin. We’ll see if he plays similar or improves. I doubt it. You want to bet your season on Holl being a capable top 4 defender. I wouldn’t. And again, Lethonen, Sandin and Liljregren have not proven to be NHL capable yet either.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Except Savard doesn't get them over the hump, Holl was as effective if not more so in the shutdown role with Muzzin and Dermott is way better than people give him credit for. He's only 23 and has already showed a lot. https://www.tsn.ca/travis-dermott-deserves-a-longer-look-on-toronto-maple-leafs-blueline-1.1570904</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>lol. Imagine calling Sandin and Liljegren "C" or "C+" prospects.. sorry. Can't take anything you say seriously after that 😂</div></div>

Lol..Leafs fans can’t read either..lol..“C”, “C+” prospects being Abruzzese and Abramov.

Good luck with Holl as a top 4 D. He’ll be this years Ceci’s or Zaitsev for the Leafs. They will blame him for being 28th in goals allowed again. Just like last year was all Ceci’s fault..lol. Holl will regress and every leafs fan will try to be dump at the deadline on ACGM.

Lol. Why wouldn’t the Pens use a 23 man roster.?? Lol. Seeing as they have the cap space??

Pettersson/Marino was our 2nd pairing D last year. They will stick the same this year. Matheson/ Ceci, Ruhwedel platoon will be the 3rd pairing; playing 10-15 minutes a night.

McCann/Janko/E-Rod is our 3rd line right now as our roster is right now..have u read anything Penguins?? McCann is a scorer, a wing. 19 goals in 18-19, 14 goals last year(playing Center and out of position). JR and Sully said they found that out last year and will keep him as a wing this year and let him do what he does best and just snipe. And not have to worry about play-making for his line-mates and carrying a line.

Janko will get every shot and opportunity to be the 3C same with E-Rod as the 3RW.

Tanev/Blueger/ZAR stayed as the 4th line all last year while the team was riddled with injuries and it was never changed. He’s not gonna change it this year. It was the best defensive line in the NHL. All 3, Tanev, Blueger and ZAR has Selke votes.

ZAR has offseason surgery surgery and will start off on LTIR.

It will be Tanev/Blueger/Lafferty to start the season. We need Lafferty’s right-handed shot and right-handed stick to take face-offs. We have no other right-handed Face-Off takers. And Lafferty is good at FO’s too.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>Okay Mr GM Genius.. and where does Savard play? Leafs defence is already set.
Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Dermott/Bogosian
Lehtonen - Liljegren
Marincin

That's 10 NHL capable d-man. Savard would fight with Bogosian for ice time. &amp; at the cost of getting Bogosian for nothing or having to give up Dermott, plus a top prospect and a pick for less than 1 year of a guy that MIGHT play bottom pairing minutes? .. yeah if Dubas doesn't get Savard surely they'll never be a cup. They're way better off without him.

And how is Dermott gone in the expansion draft exactly? Smart move is to protect 8-1. Matthews, Tavares, Marner, Nylander, Rielly, Brodie, Muzzin, Dermott, and Campbell.. worst case possible Toronto loses Holl (can be replaced by Liljegren + gain $2M in cap space) or Kerfoot (can be replaced by Robertson + gain $3.5M in cap space)

So please, tell me again how this idea benefits the Leafs. If Dubas listened to people like you he'd be outta a job faster than he can blink.

Give your head a shake already.</div></div>

Neither Liljegreen or Sandin or Lehtonen have proved NHL capable yet. Good luck man!! Keep all your draft picks and “C”, “C+ prospects and keep getting knocked out in the 1st round of the play-offs!! Anyone will tell u, u can never have enough D. See Leafs being 28th in goals allowed last year!!

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryminister_27</b></div><div>They pass. It's 1 year of Savard and giving up their best skating d-man and a top 5 organization prospect doesn't make sense.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ryancnbb</b></div><div>idk cuz players like abramov who will have to step in on cheap contracts in the foreseeable future will be rlly valuable to the leafs. not sure if giving up a possibly good quality cheap option for a the future and a decent defence for a rental is the right move cuz I cant see the leafs going all the way yet cuz they haven't proven anything</div></div>

And if their GM continues doing what these fans think. It’s why the leafs will never win a SC again. The chances of Abramov or Abruzzese being as good as Savard are probably under 10%. And Even Dermott.

Dermott will be gone next year from the expansion draft most likely. With nothing in return. And Abramov and Abruzzese chances of ended up like Bracco are higher than them playing significant minutes and years for the Leafs.

If you can get Savard for 2.5M for this year for Abruzzese and Dermott. Yes, absolutely!!

Sujet: Pens get Laine
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Windjammer</b></div><div>Lol. I'm sure in your world where Brian Rust is the same caliber as Laine it makes sense, but to think an injury prone, 33 year old defenseman with a bad contract and only 2 years of term would be the main piece for a 22 year first line winger is absolutely hilarious and has no basis reality at all.</div></div>

Lol. Ok man. A top 10 D-man in the league still. A top 3 D-man on the PP point still.. 2 top 100 prospects and a 1st and 2nd round pick. For a RFA that is gonna want a fortune this off-season.

I guess Laine brings back a Gretzey or Lindros package..?? lol.


He brings back a NHL level player, a top 100 prospect and a 1st round pick. That’s his value bud. He won’t bring back more than that. Maybe a prospect package of a team’s 2 of their top 1-5 prospects, a NHL player(probably a bad contract back too) and a 1st round pick.


Everyone else says the value is there in the Rust ACGM and this one. You are the only comment that thinks it isn’t. U see the problem?? Lol.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs101</b></div><div>I disagree about Amirov. He could be a third liner (I think he'll be better than that though). He's not fourth line material I don't think but you don't exactly want your 15th overall pick sitting on the fourth line either.</div></div>

I doubt it. He’s not a enough of a checker, two-way player to be a 3rd line wing. Even to start his career. He’ll play AHL until completely ready to be a top 6. Or bust out. Again, he has no NHL “floor”.

Not saying he won’t contribute as a top 6 on a NHL team. That’s just the type of player he is. A fast, fancy stick-handling, scoring wing. That’s all well and good too. It’s not a knock. He’s has NHL potential. But he can’t play as an NHL bottom 6. And like u said, that’s not why u draft him either. I just wrote that b/c u have him on your 3rd line here. Again, He’ll be a top 6 or bust. And play in the AHL/KHL until completely ready to be a top 6.
