Thread: it could work
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TML_Bias</b></div><div>Subban is not a fit. Holl fills the role we ask him to just fine.

If Muzzin can come back healthy, I am more than comfortable with Muzzin &amp; Holl as our shutdown pairing.

If TOR is adding a defenseman, it needs to be a sizeable upgrade, or it's insurance for Muzzin not playing capable top 4 minutes. I'm a Sandin fan, but he's not ready to play top 4 playoff minutes in defensive situations.</div></div>

Yikes Muzzin and Holl shut down pair will not get it done. Hasn't yet in previous years and still won't.
Muzzin is too slow now and Holl can't be protected like he use to be.
Subban is not the answer but if we keep this same story going, it's another first round exit and lots of this group will be changed

Thread: Could Dillon be a fit
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>It's always funny how good players on TO are never as good as players from other teams. If Kerfoot and Dermott are so bad, why is their team better than Winnipeg's by a very wide margins?</div></div>

It's becasue Toronto's top end players are some of the best in the league.
Matthews and Marner are top 10 NHL players. Nylander ( who i have disliked, game has been much much better ) and Tavares whi is declining is stiill an outstanding 2C.
That's what is making Kerfoot and Guys like that better.

Dillon is much bettre than Dermott, Copp and Kerfoot is a wash so I would not give up extra assets for that to lose Copp next year.

Oh and Holl is 30 ( not young ) and declining, as is Muzzin.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>I am a homer because I say Holl has been better and can back that up with analytics. And your retort is Manson is better because you say so. That's it. Why is he better? Because it's proven? How? Yeah Holl had a bad stretch to start but he's been back to himself since Christmas. This is just how it goes on here though, opinion is law, evidence doesn't matter and reputation is everything.

How many people on here see Colin Miller as an upgrade when he has been a healthy scratch on the past 3 teams he's played on including Buffalo who are much worse than TO. But he's better because people say so.</div></div>

Your right, all the analyst who have played in the NHL or have been around the game a long time think Mason is better than Holl, BUT you don't and think that puck possesion is the whole game now. You must be right.
I am not one of those people on Colin Miller, but I am with Manson whi is better than Holl and would be a nice #4 D.
Holl can fit in the 5-6 role and would be great at it.
I actually love reading your comments becasue they are such homer based it wild and funny.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PleaseBanMeForMyOwnGood</b></div><div>Unfortunately 95% of people on this site fall into one of 2 categories. They are hopeless homers who think all the players on their team are the best and those you only know players based on public perception and reputation. That makes it very difficult to have rational conversations on here.

I would like to say, I don't think Manson is terrible, I just haven't seen anything to make me think he's an improvement over Holl. And if we are moving a 1st or Robertson, I would want a decent upgrade for 2 RD. Manson isn't that.</div></div>

Haha dude you are that homer, perfect example is Holl. He was a healthy scratch this year. Manson is much better and maybe it’s not analytics ( which I have no idea about ) but it’s proven that it’s not the most important thing. Sure it helps a bit. But Leafs must get stronger on the backend.
