Speculation: Detroit shopping Justin Holl?

[Fogelhund]

""

Kaplan has speculated that Detroit is shopping a D, and Holl does seem to be the odd man out, but this is a speculative reach... anyway, perhaps it's worth discussion, given it's near trade deadline, and RD are hot commodities.

So step right up, and make your best offer for this D man, who is 6'4" every day, and has some PK ability.

Cap dump?

 

[TheGroceryStick]

aren’t the leafs looking for a tall RH dman that doesn’t leave the defensive zone much ?

Are you in the right headspace to receive information that could possibly hurt you?

 

[NyQuil]

The guy that Toronto didn’t want?

Detroit retains 50 percent leafs offer timmins

 

[TheGroceryStick]

We all had a “Justin Holl” on our team as kids.

 

[Hammettf2b]

not sure many teams would want him.

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Cap dump?

Pretty much.

I'm a Wings fan. I would be surprised if any team made a real offer on Holl. He's a cap dump. At 3+ million the Wings would likely have to attach a third to get him gone; maybe even a second. Best bet is going to be if some team will take him and a third with like 25% retention.

As a leaf he felt like he could leave the zone.

Ultimately he was at his best when he played with Muzzin.

Just a career 6/7 D.

In a world where Erik Gudbranson routinely has takers—I believe Justin Holl will too.

 

[Jared Dunn]

That contract was a stunning bit of business the second it was signed

Justin Holl is allergic to physical play, that's the difference

Murphy for Holl and 1st

I once saw someone selling a used foam mattress for $180 on facebook marketplace.

wings aren’t that desperate

 

[deca guard]

its just posted to get hits . he has no source / quote where kaplan used holl's name , her quote was something like 'detroit shopping dmen' . and he posted no source saying anything beyond that

GMs seem incapable of differentiating between "He's big!" and "He plays physical!"

A tale as old as time.

 

[miscs75]

Someone hit up Treliving and see if he wants former Leafs.

 

[Detroit Knights]

this isn't real.

in kaplan's article she never mentions holl (as of two days ago, so if a new one came out from her specifically today, then nevermind). She mentions that yzerman is listening on calls for his defenseman.

Someone decided to throw out holl's name in speculation then it took off as he was the one being looked at. Yes, it makes 100% sense that he would be the one we try to trade, but that doesn't make this specific rumor true at all.

It sure is.

Terrible deal the second the ink was dry. Gotta attach a draft pick to entice someone to take him

 

[Sparty]

I'm not sure why they would need to do it now of all times. Better to just hold on to him in case anyone gets hurt. Like other posters already said, they're probably not going to get an offer they want for him. Petry falling in their laps kind of made him unnecessary.

I don't see why they would want to deal Holl unless they were trying to also upgrade one of their roster defensemen (Maataa, Ghost, Chiarot), it's already too crowded back there with middle and bottom pair guys, they can't even get Edvinsson up and he's proven to be ready.

The Leafs interest in Holl is only slight more than it should be in Savard.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I for one am shocked, Who could have predicted that the Red Wings would regret signing Justin Holl and look to trade him especially at almost twice the money he made last year?

What a shocking and unpredictable outcome.
