I'm hopeful that Rielly factors in his dad disowning him if he leaves and signs a new deal that starts with a 6. Shut up! I can dream.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Lol I don’t know who will end up signing him but I bet it turns into regret by the end when he’s going to be in his mid thirties if it’s for 7 years

We need to make a Hollywood joke here somehow lol

Holl? y wood you depend on him?

Or something like that

I usually post the unenthused "ba dum tis" gif with these kinds of jokes, but I really liked this one. So I'm not gonna.

Why thank you cause I put no effort into it lol

I think Holl is the one player who gets the least amount of scrutiny because we all hope and pray that he's actually a legit Top 4 d-man who serendipitously fits the bill and for very cheap $$$.

Unfortunately, this is the kind of Kool-Aid you have to drink when you've locked up so much cap space into 4 elite forwards.

In an alternate reality, there is no pandemic and the cap goes up year-on-year and the Leafs have room for improvements and win, obviously, multiple Cups.

This simulation though? TML=FML and we have to sign UoT goalies on an emergency basis.

Holl doing an ok job with Muzzin @$2M is nice. Liljegren being to for less is much better. He did well last night and hopefully can replace at some point this year. They’re likely not trading Holl now since the drop off to the next guys in the Marlies seems a lot steeper and I’ve noticed that guys get hurt

Jamie Benn is still an animal.

Hi guys,
What’s shakin?

When I move quickly, everything

Maybe. Rielly is, and in my opinion, always will be, an all world skater. So I can see him maintaining a competitive playing level into his later years.

If it's for a lot of $$$, it'll probably not be worth it, but I can see him being a good player still.

For sure. I've known all along that it'd happen. I just didn't think Liljegren would actually get in a game. And not this soon in the season.

So it's like a slap in the face watching an improved team that won't last because of CAP circumstances.

From the prediction thread:
- If I was GM, I would have: Created more cap space.

That’s actually my concern with him atm honestly.

As I mentioned earlier he’s been beaten to the puck when retrieving it in the leafs defensive zone by forwards coming hard at him. I’m unsure if it’s because he didn’t notice or just got flat out over-skated.

Protect McCann, lose one of Kerfoot or Holl (highly unlikely) and trade the other. Boom. CAP space.

Thinking maybe it's for protection. Contract year and doesn't wanna risk injury in the corner?

Oh no I hope it’s just to be cautious

Sorry for removing the gif too btw but it had swearing in it that’s bit allowable

And the minute he takes the puck, opposing teams start to backtrack.

I never worry when his line is on the ice.

If somebody needs to come out of the lineup when AM returns, it should be Ritchie

I love the guy, but he needs to find his role here.

So far we haven't seen it.

We lost yesterday to the best team on island 8-5

A little different than Ontario…. this team travelled for many hrs and ferry boat to get here

Long road trips

Unless Dubas has a trade he wants to make to upgrade the d-corps, Holl is a Leaf until his contract expires.

Unfortunately, I'm going to irrationally complain about it until he's no longer wearing blue and white.

Buckle up.

Robertson is going to be that player who is perennially injured, amirite/amirov?

Edit: just checked the score, holy poop the Marlies are getting blasted.

Buckle up? Your complaints are like a gentle breeze on a summer night; like gas from a butterfly; like the brainwaves of a confused Canucks poster. Your complaints are HB’s North Star, a sign that all is right in the world.
