Value of: Who lands Justin Holl?

[OldnotDeadWings]

OP makes some good points. Holl hasn't played enough or badly enough to change the opinions of other teams that had interest in him last summer, and there were obviously some. With retention (25% or a bit more) he can be moved either at TDL or in the summer if Wings want to upgrade their depth or just want a different kind of 6-7D. There will be a couple of changes on D prior to start of next season.

His buyout is so miniscule that Detroit would likely opt for that before attaching any asset to move him.

 

[TS Quint]

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

There's no reason for that.

If he ends up back with the leafs ima be pissed he is not at all what they need

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.

Why does San Jose need Holl???

I don't know if lands is the correct word here, more like stuck maybe. Lands makes it sound like teams are in a bidding war.

He will end up in Detroit because they deserve him.

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.

This guy screams toronto. Wonder why he never has played there before

Why does San Jose need Holl???

They don't, nobody does.
