Justin Holl Discussion Thread

Holl is the exception to that?

Only if you assume he didnt deserve to play before.

Got it.

I'm sold on Holl. He's been exceptional. Wonder what the price on an extension. 4*2?

Yeah agreed he's been great. I said I am sold on Holl.

 

[The Iceman]

He will be 28 when next season starts. Should sign him for 3 years at a reasonable rate.

 

[Menzinger]

anything more than 2M will definitely be difficult for the leafs to keep him.

assuming the budget remains at 18.5M for the entire d (same as this year)

Reilly 5.5M
Barrie 7
Holl 2
Dermott 2
Sandin 1
Lily 1

I think with promise of icetime, his relationship with Dubas and Keefe will.make him a relatively easy negotiation to deal with.

Even from his agents POV, can use a 1-2 more years under thr media spotlight in Toronto to set Holl up for a bigger payday by 2022 or so than hed get right now.

I believe he has a good relationship with the coach - manager. On the flip side if he continues to trend upward and prove he can handle top 4 minutes it wouldn’t take much more money or term From another team. Everyone knows how tight they are against the cap. This could be the contract he cashes in on considering he’s on the right side of 30. The only positive for the leafs is that his nhl sample size is limited

Looks like the patient development has worked out well for this kid. Does make you wonder though if he couldn't have been of some use last year.

I believe he's UFA after this season. Any thoughts on what he can be re-signed for?

Hes been very good. I am a little concerned that this gets translated into a contract we simply cant afford. That being said, I had resorted myself to the fact that one of Kap/AJ and one of the big three are going to go this offseason which may free up some cash for the likes of Holl.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Holl would be riding the pine with Babcock.

 

[goleafsgo1990]

Oh hey, we let our #1 RD stud rot on the bench for the entirety of last season and almost ruined his career. Management isn't blind..nope. Nicklas Holl, lead us to the promise land!

/s

 

[shaner8989]

JUstin you’re f***ing awesome. We have needed a guy like him for decades

f*** you Babcock

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Dubas should be trying to get him locked up now. Slide him a deal at like 1.8 for 2 or 3 years and hope that the guy that probably thought he was heading to Europe will jump at the stability of term with an NHL salary....or we wait until after the season and probably double it.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Jeff Finger 2.0...be careful here with this contract.

 

[mulefarm]

I would say at his age he will be looking at something like a 5 year deal at around 15 million.

 

[Stephen]

Let's just be careful with a new contract and limit it to three years maximum.

 

[zeke]

Lol leafs media.

1. Leaf begins to play well
2. OMIGOD BUT HOW WILL YOU PAY HIM NEXT YEAR

 

[The Iceman]

Jeff Finger 2.0...be careful here with this contract.

Rumor has it the Leafs signed the wrong guy when they signed Finger

HockeyBuzz.com - - Did the Leafs Confuse Sauer with Finger or am I Missing Something Here?
