Yeah, Leafs are not sending a depth player in HOLL ( who know's the leafs system well in case of injury) to a DIVISION rival for zero return. Give your head a shake bud.

When Liljegren comes off LTIR there will be no cap space. Reports are that Toronto has been trying to move players to make space but hasn't been successful. Not many teams have the need or space to add a player like Holl.

The easy choice is Engvall, the leafs need more D depth than forward. Engvall also clears enough cap for Liljegren AND Robertson to stay up without having to waive Malgin! Holl doesn't provide enough cap relief to do that.

Also keefe loves Holl, this is not happening.

Ottawa's biggest problem on the blueline has been Chabot, not Hamonic. This won't help Chabot at all imo. If anything, they should try him with Brannstrom. Only played a handful of shifts together last night, but they were both at their best together. They always look good when they get that taste together. 85-23 has been the best looking pair so far, so keep them together, and run a defensive pair of 5-2 for a bit.

Hamonic has been awful. Sanderson is carrying that pairing. Chabot has been bad but what he brings in transition and offence, you can't replace.

That's a can that got picked further down the road with the Murray LTIR. Liljegren coming off isn't a problem anymore.

I dont know if they would want to trade him within the division

As I think there will be teams in the Pacific eyeing him as his shot blocking and PK status make him a nice third/borderline 2nd pair guy

leafs accept. pleasure doing buisness with ya
