In your opinion guys, who was better, Joe Colborne or Peter Holland? Cause we gave away Colborne for a lot less and he wasn't really a bust like i'm hearing about holland![]()
Yonk, Vat, Clark and Blacker all RHD in Norfolk. Wonder whats up.

Wow. Start by thanking the @AnaheimDucks for everything over the past couple years. Lot of firsts there and a very professional and underrated west coast team at times. Also Thanks to all the fan support. Didn't go unnoticed! That being said I am still in shock about being a @MapleLeafs and I am beyond excited to wear the blue and white! #Toronto
Classy words by Holland, and hope he does well, just wasn't to be in Anaheim
Pretty much. Norfolk was going to need some assistance on D, too.Seems to be 2 highly rated former prospects needing a change of scenery.
A won't be traded for a never was.
If he was traded, I would have preferred a pick. Although since I would just have expected a 2nd anyways there isn't a lot of lost value.
Skippy was right. We might as well just let Holland produce in the AHL for that return. The better AHL environment is worth more than these scraps.
Know nothing about Blacker. What is his potential and is there a chance he can play regularly with the Ducks at some point?
Leafs fans said he's a dman with the tools but no tool box, people seem to be on the fence if he could become an NHL player or not. I heard his middle name is Luca ....![]()
Well, that's good. Because if we trade Sbisa and Hiler walks we will be fresh out of scapegoats. Good to see Bob staying on top of all our needs.![]()
I disagree with that. The Ducks would not have gone out to get a guy like Perreault had Holland made a convincing case in preseason that he could be a factor for us. You can't just hand everyone roster spots and see whether they'll be alright. They felt Vatanen had earned that chance over his play last year and then this preseason. They went into this season leaving another opening for Holland to grab, and they only addressed that when they felt Holland had not done enough to earn it.
Saying he didn't have fair opportunities just isn't realistic.
Holland was injured in pre-season. Ducks went out and got MP22 and he's been awesome. Unfortunate for Holland.
Look to Palmieri. You can already see the usual suspects circling there.Well, that's good. Because if we trade Sbisa and Hiler walks we will be fresh out of scapegoats. Good to see Bob staying on top of all our needs.![]()

Top four, two-way. The likelihood to reach it is less than Holland's though. So, basically a better depth option down the road if the change of scenery does nothing for him.Know nothing about Blacker. What is his potential and is there a chance he can play regularly with the Ducks at some point?

You forgot about Winnik. He sucks.
With Smith-Pelley graduating from scapegoat to contributor and Holland in Toronto, who is our new scapegoat among the prospects? The acid test is what fills in the (blank), Sbisa, and a 1st for Ryan Suter.Good point. But Winnik is going to have to work a little harder and prove he can earn the scapegoat position on the team. Nobody just gets handed a job. They have to earn it. Sounds like he and Palmieri may have a tough battle.
