Yes it's shocking that so many players that HF thought sucked balls while they were leafs went on to become loved by their next teams. Totally unexpected. Totally not something that HFboards should ponder and learn from and consider the next time they claim a Leaf sucks balls and has no value.
But what does Bjorkstrand and his huge contract have to do with anything in this thread?
I never said any of them sucked balls. You seem to have a victim's mentality when discussing your Leafs.
Bjorkstrand was alluded to along with Pacioretty because they're prime examples of how difficult it is to move salary in the current market. Both are 30 goal men and were available for peanuts on the open market.
It's not people suggesting that Holl possesses negative value or that he isn't good enough to be impactful on another roster. He's a limited player whose responsibilities have been elevated by Toronto due to a combination of a lack of depth and a lack of cap flexibility.
It's doubtful you'd find a team willing to give the Leafs any kind of reasonable value for him when taking into account the Leafs cap situation and the current market.
