Holzer is playing great and I like the fact that he likes to check and take the body; will be hard to send him back down.
Korbinian Holzer
- Thread starter mcleex
- Start date
He is one of the few out there who finishes his checks and likes to take the body in the corners and behind the net.
The Leafs need to keep Holzer in the line up

I dont see the problem
Holzer is our 7th D. Granberg and Percy need more time and it is a long season.We are lucky we still have this guy and waivers,someone would look at him now.He has been with us a long time,he has earned it and he stays as 7th,like we have any choice.
Yay Gardiner.

Yea its weird I have seen on a few boards people referencing holzer as a quick D patch or a target for waivers.
I think he gets grabbed if hes waived and I am not sure on the room to bring up a Percy (who would be great to slot out Jake) if you keep holzer up so its unlikely to happen.

From what I've seen this year, I'd have both Polak and Holzer playing the right side every game.

Polak
Holzer
Holzer at 205 players a heavy game. You know Kessel is just 3 pounds lighter?

Don't even know why people like this guy. He has 36.2CF%!
Constantly passes behind the forward, cannot stop the cycle, terrible first pass. No wonder, Gardiner looked bad when Polak went down.

Since everyone is so gung-ho about Holzer here is something for you guys to ponder on:
Came here to post this. Lulz. "He's been great!" When really he's a black hole when he's on the ice.
It pisses me off even more when he has an outlet but manages to get an icing call. I mean what the hell......
Gardiner has been screwed around like Kadri with revolving door of partners and no consistency. If Gards was given an opportunity consistently for extended period of time and then if Gards does not perform I would understand the critiques out there.
Quite frankly it is friggen Carlyle the stupid moron. He just can't balance the team properly. heck he still has a hard on for Bozo-Kessel

its the coaches and linemates faults Gardiner makes boneheaded mistakes? (ex. high sticking pucks out of play)

Here is Gards full stats for his entire career. What do you learn from it? Are you going to use two plays to fault a player or would like to use a larger sample size?
Pay heed to logic and reasoning; good for the brains!
It's their responsibility to stop him from batting the puck with his stick. He's done it 3 times so i guess the coaching staff is just letting him sink.

Holzer
Any attempt made to re-sign Holzer? He is looking steady and physical out there this time around. Or will Nonis lets him go for next to nothing?

Ya he has been not to bad. For his probable return I think you may as well resign him even a 2x1m or something.

Holzer is a Leaf drafted and developed player and he would not cost a fortune and so he could certainly be a part of the solution and the future.
He has played well and I wouldn't mind if he was brought back as a 3rd pairing guy. In fact it would be better cap management to have that then spend $3 mil on a guy like Robidas to fill a depth position.

The irony of this shouldn't be lost on MLSE, practice what you preach, even if it for a 6-7 D man. He shouldn't be costly to resign imo.
