Toronto is falling for that trap that our NHL club fell for. Holland dominates the AHL... that's nothing new. It's translating that play at the NHL level that's the problem. ha ha ha

Three more games! Three more games! Three more games!

He shouldnt have gone down in the first place. He earned his spot on a scoring line IMO not getting three minutes a night with Colton Orr and Fraser McLaren.

Putting Holland on a fourth line that plays three - four minutes a game is a waste of his talent and does not let him develop as a player. From my perspective as a Duck fan that is immaterial. All I want is for Holland to play three more games this year so that we get the second round pick, regardless of how it affects Holland. I recognize that is a narrow, selfish position, but it is a dog eat dog world in professional sports.

From my perspective of wanting to see all players develop to their maximum potential so that we all can see the best possible hockey played in the NHL, I want Holland to mature and develop properly. I am concerned that if he continues to be used on the fourth line for three - four minutes a game that the Leafs will stifle his growth and that he will never become the player that we all thought he could be at the time that he was drafted. That would be a sad waste of talent.

You guys will get a free 2nd, I don't know why we're continuing to play Holland when we play him on the 4th line.

well apparently hes going to be moved up to at least the third line today, which is good. I'd rather him on the second line. I think he played very well with Lupul and Raymond there earlier.

He wasnt on the 4th line due to his effort or talent.

He absolutely needs to play with skilled players or he's wasted.

I`d rather have 2nd rounder instead of 3d rounder

Ducksforcup · Jan 14, 2014

Alrighty! Holland is indeed in the lineup. Two more games and the Ducks acquire the 2014 second round pick!

Halzy · Jan 14, 2014

so soon already? damn

I looked it up and Holland was 5 out of 7 on Faceoffs. Pretty good numbers. Unfortunately, he was a minus 1. But the team won. So eh?

Jer416 · Jan 15, 2014

Enjoy the 2nd guys, best of luck in developing him. Holland was great today playing on the third line. Great work on the boards and worked hard. If he keeps it up and your pick pans out, could be a pretty good trade for both teams

What can you say about Blacker? The guy is putting up some nice numbers in A - is it common for him to do it on stretches or is he consistent?

It seems like his offense just dried up once he left the OHL, so I assume it's pretty hard to say if this is just him making the most out of a new opportunity or if this is just a good stretch for him.

Exit Dose · Jan 15, 2014

Yeah, he really didn't do anything like this during his brief time with the Marlies. I don't think we'll know what the answer is till a few of those forwards on the top line graduate.

McDonald19 · Jan 15, 2014

In vs Buffalo tonight.

Ducksforcup · Jan 15, 2014

Just one more game after tonight.

*Knock on wood, but lookin' pretty good.

Smirnov2Chistov · Jan 15, 2014

This draft is looking good. Hopefully we a chance at Nylander!

Ducks Nation* · Jan 15, 2014

Holland just made an amazing play to assist in a goal...holy smokes

AngelDuck · Jan 15, 2014

They won't send him down again. We're getting a 2nd round pick. He has nothing left to prove in the AHL and I think Nonis now realizes that. He's clearly good enough to be one of the Leafs 4 centers.

Sonofamitch · Jan 15, 2014

Second is all yours and I'm extremely happy about it!!best of luck with developing the second round pick, guys will probably do something good with it.

AngelDuck · Jan 15, 2014

Leafs fans seem to like Pete quite a bit so far. I'm happy for him.

DaDucks* · Jan 15, 2014

2nd is locked up? Cool move this thread to the "ex ducks thread" tip our cap and move on. I'm tired of seeing this thread in top rotation. It's just so small in the realm of ducks hockey

Dr Johnny Fever · Jan 15, 2014

Yes, he needs one more.
