Value of: Who lands Justin Holl?

[Petes2424]

After Friedman’s tongue & cheek comment about Holl being available to the Leafs, there’s no reason we shouldn’t have a Justin Holl post, to track where he ends up Friday.

He actually hasn’t been bad (at all) for Detroit. That’s the fun part of it all. He’s just the victim of a numbers game that’s not going to improve as Detroit’s young dmen start arriving.

He’s likely on the move. The only question is where? Let’s see how great of a manager Yzerman truly is. He’d lock up “greatest manager ever” if he somehow moved him back to Toronto. That ship has likely sailed though.

In all seriousness, he’s a RHD, who will end up playing a role somewhere. If Philly moves Walker and Seeler, he’d be a type who could be a fit there. Anaheim? San Jose? Calgary maybe? We’re gonna find out, just what other managers think of Holl. Especially if Detroit would retain any of his salary.

He could get Holl to Toronto pretty easily. He would have to get him to waive his no trade though.

Avs offer you Ryan Johansen for Holl. Swap of misfit toys.

 

[sxvnert]

No one. Holl is a soft 7th D whos prone to giveaways.

Maybe Yzer can dump him to his hometown minny or a rebuilding hockey club.

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

I think it's going to end up being a cap dump trade. Yzerman will probably ship him out with a 4th.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

That's a problem you gotta keep yourself.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

A 4th rounder is not going to cut it to move $3.4M (AAV and actual salary yearly) for next 2 years

 

[MisterT]

A turnstile on the Q-line or Grand Rapids...Detroit's choice

 

[Roomba With a Bauer]

Oh, yeah. Detroit is going to have to retain as well.

 

[Henkka]

Don't see a trade for Holl. If not part of a bigger package.

He'll rebound next year and then we will see a trade.

 

[PelagicJoe]

I will laugh my ass off if Stevie manages to fleece Kenny Holland in a Justin Holl trade.

Rebounding implies you have a better place to bound to. Just because Holl became part of the Wings roster doesn't mean he suddenly became some sort of hidden gem. He sucks, he has always sucked, he will always suck. The only reason he made it into the NHL was because he got traded to Toronto, a team well known for playing on hard mode by trying to have possibly the worst defensemen in the NHL.

Yzerman made a mistake signing him.

Same was said about Chiarot, and he is currently not the same player disaster he was year ago.

Chiarot sucked. And he is fine now.

These things will happen.

Chiarot sucked. And he is fine now.

Similar to how your nose becomes smell deaf to ongoing scents

Chiarot was a well respected defenseman in the league. Holl has always been a joke.

Right handed dmen are always in demand wont take a 1st or 2nd attached to move him . Eat 700k and you'll find a few takers

 

[Mickey Marner]

Probably gets bought out. 1.133 on the books for four years isn’t the end of the world.

 

[Bouboumaster]

AHL

 

[Ricky Bobby]

To San Jose: Holl 3.4M cap hit and real dollars for each of the next two seasons.

For

To Detroit: Nikolai Knyzhov owed 1.4M in real money but is buried in the minors with a cap hit of 100K.

 

[Michoulicious]

He'll get a Holl lot of nothing.

 

[Chainshot]

This is where Buffalo and Detroit fans will get to take it to a Holl new level when the Sabres trade for him this week.
