Confirmed Signing with Link: Philip Holm to the Vancouver Canucks (1 year ELC)

Though reality is Matthews is on Toronto. You can have 2 Holms if you want.

Leafs would also still have Nylander and Marner, and would likely have drafted Tkachuk.

So still Leafs.

The Leafs have really really good scouting.

& they were interested, so that's good enough for me.

Because I really don't like Benning's scouting ability. So maybe the law of averages are on our side for once, and Benning got lucky

You do realise GMJB is known as one of the better scouts Brock at 23rd Gaudette in the 5th Tram in the 3rd dido with Brisbois. Sven for A second. 17 goals in 69 games. Granlund for shink who was A bust Granny 19 goals in 60 something games on a bum wrist all year. Guddy for another bust in McCann. Ya, he sure sucks at scouting Gimme A Break.

Babcock doesn't like the players who have low ceiling, look at Corrado. Holm would've ended up in the same boat. Good decision on his part to not sign with Toronto, if Toronto even offered him a contract, to begin with.

I assume you must have watched him on A regular basis to be able to judge his ceiling. Or are just another typical laugh fan who hates the fact he turned down the laughs and Hawks to come to Van unless your a scout your opinion means about as much as Nylander without Mathews Translation they both are useless

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but some so called "leaf fans" are embarassing us.

Hunwick, Polak, Carrick (he only has good skating, low hockey IQ, and he can't snipe corners) played tremendous minutes that would not be afforded to them on a different team. I like what they did for the leafs as stop-gap solutions, but don't make sweeping generalizations like that as there is tremendous evidence that Babcock likes his role players and doesn't limit opportunities based on "ceiling."

As a leafs' fan, this a good signing for the Canucks. From what I heard, he has good skating which should help his transition. Free wallet.

too bad more leaf fans don't have your maturity. They hate on Any player that decided to sign with another team Good on you for having some class.

We're actually quite sophisticated and realistic. The two posters in this thread are vastly misrepresenting our fanbase. I can't find the clip, but I believe it was Button who said Holm was the more refined and ready of the three defenseman, but that the other two could have more potential (vague I know).

Nearly every player he has acquired has sucked and that's why he runs one of the worst team in the NHL.
