Thread: Steve Yzerman has completely lost his mind
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wingsfannn</b></div><div>Kubalik will likely be on the 4th or be traded where you gonna fit him in the top 9? I’m not putting in berggren on the 4th line and ruining his progress ... zadina will likely be dealt as well

Compher hit over 35pts once he’s nowhere near 5x5 , holl is a 3rd pairing dman making 3.5 x 3 yrs .both are over paid and too much term

I’m sorry this team will be nowhere close to a playoff spot they haven’t gotten closer to ottawa or buffalo who both missed the playoffs</div></div>

I will comment on Holl specificially.

The Leafs were a top 5 defensive team last year. Holl in the regular season played 3rd most minutes on their d core (outside of Brodie and Rielly), In the playoffs he played 4th most minutes on their d core (add McCabe to the first list). In both scenarios he was hovering around 20 minutes a game.

Holl is a solid 4-5 dman. I actually think 3 x 3.4 is a solid deal for him and for Detroit. He will play #1 penalty kill minutes, 2nd pair 5 on 5 minutes, zero powerplay minutes.

Whether he falls on the 2nd pair or 3rd pair for Detroit, this is still a solid contract.
