Interesting call-up. I like Hollowell and he's been good lately, but it feels like he's running out of time with the Leafs. He got re-signed recently and he's a solid depth option.

Probably just a paycheck + NHL practice thing.

Probably. They have done this before.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

As soon as I see undersized and offensive i think it must be an nhl paycheck only utilizing LTIR .. we don't need that time as we already have too many of them

 

[hotpaws]

yup , what this team needs is a smurf D that can only avg just over half point a game in the AHL , said no one

 

[SprDaVE]

Always judge a players abilities on the ice, not on a scale.

Probably pretty tough living on $70k in the GTA, Duszak make $150k.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Duszak actually has been good with the Maries.

 

[TMLAM34]

Probably just a call up to give him an NHL days salary.

Gotta think so, if we're in LTIR anyway there's no reason not to do things like that. Build a bit of good will with players and agents.

Just for context Hollowell makes $70,000 in the minors, one day of NHL pay for him is $4,032 or 5.8% of his pay for the season in the minors. So a pretty significant chunk of change for him.

4 thousand dollar bonus just to practice with the big club. Pretty good day for Hollowell I’d say…

70k in GTA is very bad level unless you are living with someone else making 70k then you are ok .. even then you are a renter for sure

That'll pay for the CPP increase.

 

[cupcrazyman]

Is somebody else injured because we don't need another undersized player in this lineup.

Remember the milkman?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Probably just for a little pay bonus

Leafs have done this in the past

Maybe help pay for the gas price increase ... and have you seen grocery prices the past couple of days.

Not that I think Hollowell is an NHL player or should get games over Kral/Duszak but before Hollowell was added:

Tampa: 4 guys under 6 feet
Florida: 5 guys under 6 feet
Boston: 4 guys under 6 feet
Toronto: 4 guys under 6 feet

we're no different than any of these teams for size.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Probably just giving him a payday. $3750 per day for him in the NHL.

they say the avg detached single in Toronto is now approaching 1.8m, which is nuts

Never trust they. They change there mind. So they say.

 

[Menzinger]

How many Marlies games have you watched this season?

 

[JT AM da real deal]

It is beyond stupid really

 

[Dekes For Days]

Probably just getting him some NHL pay. I'm glad we do that when we have the chance.

 

[Ciao]

How many Marlies games have you watched this season?

I'm sorry to say I haven't watched any.

Where are they broadcast?
