Confirmed Trade: [ARI/TOR] Peter Holland for a conditional 2018 6th round pick

[Paradise*]

Contract spot is where the value is for the leafs

What will they do with that spot. Also, if the spot was where the "value" is, then why did they re-sign him in the first place?

Set tag to Friedman until it's confirmed.

About time....figured this was coming ever since Richardson was hurt...he likely plugs into the 2C/3C role....given the Coyotes currently have very few NHL C's.

I would expect him to start of well in Arizona very similar to how he started in Toronto. Never been able to quite figure out if it's a effort thing from him or he just truly doesn't understand where he needs to be in the ice

He wasn't re-signed today.

Yeah sorry, debated on the pre-fix for a while there.

Because they expected more, he wasn't outplying the kids that surpassed him and they'll use it for any potential trade situations down the road at the deadline. They were at 49 or 48 so if they want to take on a dump later it's flexibility. Also makes room for Leivo who hasn't really been injured for a while

A literal bag of pucks?

Now that I've typed that, do other sports have similar phrases?

Future considerations.

A dinner at Arby's.

Where did I say that?

I feel like anything at Arby's is more of a punishment then a return so would that be type of dump in future consideration terms?

It's on sportsnet now so it's done

Bacon Cheddar Curly Fries or no deal.

Leafs fans were asking the habs for a 2nd last week for him following galchenyuk's injury lol. I'm expecting a 2nd now

 

[gdsmack267]

Good for him, most players Toronto don't want anymore just get sent up to the arctic with "injuries"

 

[Canada4Gold]

Arizona was 1st in line for waivers, so I guess him guess someone else might have wanted him via trade instead? If Arizona was the only bidder and waivers eventually inevitable they wouldn't have traded for him I would assume.

Yeah cause a few people saying one thing on the internet definitely means every single person in that fanbase all believe it. Bound to happen now.

 

[Paradise*]

Because they expected more

Thanks for answering.

Let me guess one moron with a brand new account who was likely a troll account?

 

[ObscureAlien]

id be surprised if its higher than a 4th

 

[WetHotAmericanSutter]

Would've accepted a toupee for Lou as a return but glad it's done

 

[al secord]

I can't believe a team was willing to waste future considerations on Holland. Now to do the same with Leivo and Corrado.

Hasn't had a chance to play this season and had 5 goals in 12 games last year and dominated the Ahl playoffs. Ever cross your mind you've given up to early?

 

[ffh]

hockey insiders always breaking news 15 minutes before teams release it themselves where would we be without them.

 

[Walshy7]

I doubt that he of all people would say it unless he had a pretty good belief that it was done.

I was going to write of course friedman is reputable but he also said "think", of course he wouldn't tweet without any info. Still strange a minor leafs trade gets so much news it pisses of the other fanbases usually

It really hasn't been that much news. Dreger said that the Leafs were looking to move him, then this. And Lou said he would move him. That's about it. If other fanbases don't want to hear it then they should only look at their local media outlets and not national such as TSN or Sportsnet.
