Looking at the weather network, 28C getting up to 30C.What's the tempature right now with the Canucks, I wonder.
Highs of 38-39 all week hereLooking at the weather network, 28C getting up to 30C.
Not that this singular view means anything, really, and especially not for a 7-game sample, but found Holl's placement here to be quite interesting.
Still, for a guy that seems to be their version of Tanner Pearson (ie. cap dump that can hopefully be moved without adding an extra asset), maybe there's some value there. Only $2M cap hit for one year (ie. 80% of Tucker Poolman at 1/3 of the remaining term)

Every year, there is a dumb toronto scapegoat and that player generally performs well when they move on.I think Holl is a very good player and I'd take him here in an instant.

Very good player as in top-4/potential Hughes partner, or as in a good bottom pairing Schenn/Poolman/Burroughs upgrade?
I think you were the one that made the Sopel comparison at some point, and during the Tampa series that felt apt.
But he feels like a hard guy to get a real read on because I wouldn't be suprised at all if a 30-year old defenseman heading into his fourth real NHL season after years in the ECHL and AHL is a bit flash in the pan playing on an elite team. He couldn't crack the roster full-time until he was 28; even Alex Burrows played 81 games in his age 25 season.
Isnt he essentially, a less physical Tyler Myers..?Klingberg dropped his agent and is now with Newport.
No one is touching his likely retirement contract demands. I bet he re-signs in Dallas or goes somewhere like Seattle for a lot less than expected.
Far more talented offensively, far less useful defensively.Isnt he essentially, a less physical Tyler Myers..?
Lets replace Myers 2 years left, with a brand new Klingberg 5-6 year deal ..?....smh
Have to agree..That doesn’t sound optimistic at all.Pretty much confirms that Miller will be traded at some point as the two sides aren’t close and Rutherford doesn’t think they can bridge the gap.
Hopefully it happens before the season starts.
