Holl is decent. Not flashy, not great, but decent.

Also, it would help if the Leafs forwards as a group played better D.

You should trust me.

As a Flyers fan, I'm something of a connoisseur of poopty defensive play by forwards.

Preaching to the choir Doc. I have maintained all along that the Leafs defensive problems are a team problem.

Ryu is looking like the best free-agent pitcher signing this year for the money and term.

That was a really good risk... I wanted the angels to sign him.

One thing about having a 60 game schedule, you don't have to hold things together quite as long. 162 games is a long slog. This is much more like a sprint.

He's been fantastic.

It's too bad that there's no fans allowed and they're not playing at the Dome, because he'd for sure be drawing out the Korean crowd big time for the games.

I hope when he accepts the Cup from Bettman, he bites Bettman first.

If they hadn't blown so many games early and if they could learn to run the damn basses, they could really be in first.

Getting healthy would be great, too.

I don't care who wins the World Series. As long as the Yankees don't. 👍

I care who wins. Go Jays!

But I agree. (frank) the Yankees. My uncle is a Yankees fan and he's annoying.

Its not going to be the Phillies, and I absolutely cannot stand the Yankees. Also dont want to see the Houston Asterisks win. Other than those two, I'm ok with whoever.

Thats great stuff. I deleted my twitter awhile back, its just such a toxic swamp but I do check it out from time to time if I get a heads up that something funny is trending.

Just my .02, Holl is totally solid for what he is, 4-6 guy. No problem with him or his contract.

People thinking Justin Holl being overpaid can't honestly be aware of cap hits of D on other teams.


This is like when William NYlander signed the most shocking contract in history.

Boggles my mind.

The stats are right in front of us. He was a cog in the wheel for the Leafs D this season.

Cheap and can play against top comp.

For 2M.

For once Leaf fans should be happy.

- Santo_44


Agreed. But don't discount the fact that said D was generally awful.

Only in Toronto do people female dog about a JUstin Holl making 2 million. And no one noticed how solid he was in the playoffs. He can be moved very easily, Babcock was an idiot for never playing him

We need D, any package of players need to be traded for a D.
