Assuming Bolland is back during the season. Does Holland land in the AHL or on the wing when all of our original centers are healthy?
- markmark

Hard to believe he wouldn't be moved to the AHL at that point unless he is "tearing it up." He's waiver exempt still.

Holland: don't see this guy sticking around once Bozak and Kadri are back. He's not a bottom 6 guy and McClement and Smithson fill those roles more aptly.

Still, might see something like this:

JVR Bozak Kessel
Lupul Kadri Clarkson
Raymond Holland Kulemin
McClement Smithson Orr
McLaren

I actually like that the best while Bolland is on the LTIR. A 4th line that's actually useful (and Orr almost looks like a hockey player out there most of the time) and a 3rd line that has speed and can put up points.

I like the idea of sliding Holland into Bolland's spot, because then I only have to change one letter on the jersey of my Wii Hockey roster.

it just doesn't seem like things are going to go right for the Leafs this year

Why would anyone think Holland is a "Stop-Gap?" He's 22 years-old and has nice upside in an organization lacking centre talent.

I know you are, but what am I?













But yeah, it sucks that EA Sports has abandoned Wii.

They can start getting healthy later.

Ya not sure about that one...Even if sent to the AHL the kid becomes the best center prospect we have at this point(AHL)..

right after the officiating starts getting healthy

Because he's a stop-gap at the moment.

Kadri is ahead of him for the next 20 years.

Bozak (unfortunately) is signed for the next 20 years.

Bolland is way better.

Holland isn't a #4.

So....stopgap.

You're a loser.

EA Sports are just a big pathetic monopoly that we have no choice but to keep flocking back to...

...kinda like the Leafs.

The knock on him seems to be work ethic. If playing on the first line of your hometown team doesn't get him motivated, nothing will.

loose


an individual who has little to no self control, does not think logically,whose grasp on reality is feeble. a seemingly misunderstood person who is in fact a walking disaster waiting to happen.

Ok. Was I spot on about Kessels collapse without Bozak?
- honesthockey

nope 5 points in 3 games until Bolland went down and kadri was moved for JVR

john scott likes bozak?

I'm not sure if this has been asked, or even if I read this right..

But we don't want Liles, and mostly because of the cap hit he carries, along with his age. If he was younger and more dynamic, we would keep him, along with having a surplus on defense, it makes no sense to keep him.

So why would we do a 1 for 1 swap for a more expensive defenseman? Defensive D or not, I really don't understand this.
