Confirmed with Link: [MTL] Peter Holland (2 years, $575K, 2way yr 1)

[Rise from the Ashes]

They really need to surround their younger players with quality vets, and also win games to attract people in their arena from the get going.

Exactly. The Rocket will be a good draw. I will definitely be going to games.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

He's going to play with a quicker unit in Montreal, maybe Julien can push this guy to another level.

I really like this low cost, divident possible gamble.

Saw a ton of him in Toronto and he truly is a frustrating player. He was on one of the fastest teams in the league and was a terrible fit. Babcock was not a fan to say the least, not sure if it was a systems thing or an effort thing........or both.

Considering his age and how easily he was dumped by his last two employers.........I wouldn't get too excited.

 

[TMLFOREVER**]

He played behind Kadri and Bozak, so he was a third line center on a terrible team.

He got 27 points in 65 GP, 34 points pace over 82 games.

You're underrating this guy.

Sorry, no he is not.

Wait until you see how lazy this guy is.

 

[Teufelsdreck]

Inconsequential.

As an AHL player, he's gonna be fine. I don't expect more from him.

Agreed

I expect to see him called up when an injury occurs. And he will then stay in the NHL, IMO he's an upgrade over Mitchell. He never really got the chance to play with a good team we might be surprised.

Absolutely agree...really think we will be happy with this bargain bin pick up!!

You are underrating Mitchell IMO.

 

[Adam Michaels]

You are underrating Mitchell IMO.

I agree. Even if Mitchell has had hot starts in his last two seasons and then fails to produce. He is a very effective player.

I will say if Holland becomes the 4C, then it's possible he's an upgrade over Mitchell. BUT, if Mitchell is then put on the wing as a 4RW, then he's an upgrade over Flynn.

Hudon-Holland-Mitchell can become a very solid 4th line. And yes, I want Hudon to move up in the line-up. But this is a place he can start and work his way up to the Top-9 and eventually the Top-6.
