Laugh it up, pretty soon it will be called the Justin Holl Memorial Trophy.

The Toronto media via THN has commented on Holl's strong start in Detroit leading the league in the +/- category with +9. Didn't they help chase him out of Toronto though?

Soon after that it'll become the Hockey Holl of Fame...

 

[Henkka]

Justin Holl is Red Wings smallest problem at the moment...

Good luck for Toronto with that John Klingberg, as called as "black hole".

 

[Coffees]

This guys the real deal. Playing the best hockey of his life right now

That contract is looking like a major steal right now

Alright... When I bumped the thread I didn't mean for this to happen.

And cheered on by Hollaback girls.

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

Every time a player gets checked, the announcers will scream out "YOU GOT HOLLED!"

Hard to memorialize an immortal deity

 

[Umingmak]

I absolutely hated this deal. It's still way, way too early to pass judgement on it, but if this version of Holl is what we're getting all season, then Yzerman has absolutely redeemed himself after a few questionable moves.

First of all, THN hasn't been relevant in over 20 years.

Secondly, yea he was awful in Toronto. Especially come playoff time. Maybe he just needed a change of scenery.

Seems they were right to chance him out of town. Enjoy that contract

Trust the Yzerplan!

Red Wings rn

 

[Dotter]

The signing that bankrupted a 100 year franchise. They'll never recover from this.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

Trust the Yzerplan!

Thinking most Hawks fans right now are looking at their prospect depth, and wondering , how do we get there

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

There's little chance that Yzerman watched more than a handful of Holl games with the Leafs.

I suspect that after a couple more drafts, they'll be there. I just hope the Hawks have drafted a little better after the 1st round than the Wings recently have. Granted, that's not a very high bar.

Holl robbed the Red Wings, that's for sure.

I'd just be happy if I was a hawks fan if they drafted as good just in the 1st to be honest.

But... yeah Hawks aren't far off with having early slam dunks for selections and multiple 1st rounders. Red Wings didn't exactly get that to use for their rebuild which made it for sure longer by a year or two.

Get where?

Oh for sure. People should be happy who like to see players get paid. Organizations usually get the best of the player not the other way around.
