Waived: Justin Holl

[ShanahanMan]

Is this a Kasper or Watson play?

Looks like Kasper was sent down unfortunately

 

[Redwing66]

Yeah Kasper is this years Edvinsson - assumed having him in the lineup would just be too stressful for the overripe crowd. We can cheer Watson fights for entertainment I guess.

I will never forget when he was signed arguing with people on here on how awful he was. Yes there was actually people defending this awful singing.

I like the job Yzerman is doing with this team but almost ever fan everywhere knew this was a terrible signing. No one is likely going to claim him...we should have bought him out in the summer.

Worse contracts get waived all the time, yeah Holl was a bad signing but needs to stop being viewed as some Rick Dipietro monster deal. Just today Engvall got waived with 6 years left as just one example.

We all know he will clear. But the question is, does he get sent down?

I hope so, he could help our kids there to develop

At a glance when he first signed with Detroit i hated the contract but now looking at...

I was on the side that Holl couldn't be THAT bad if he was in the #6 role. My bad.

Also this move is dumb because it just means we're signing Watson when this team needs youth, speed and skill. Instead we're going to have a 4th line as useless as the G in Lasagna.

The topic you all have been waiting for. Please, use this as the receptacle for your hot takes on why Justin Holl may have been responsible for the cancellation of Firefly, the green lighting of the Cavemen TV show, and the return of the McRib.

I dunno looks like a lot of "oh no" posts to me. So not sure about this big Holl defense force.

Holl treated like complete crap by the organization, never really got a chance

Not a big deal but I feel bad for him besides the money he’s getting
