Waived: Justin Holl

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

He didn't look that good to me. He still looked like the guy who gets lucky to make the plays he does make and had 2 or 3 pretty bad plays in our end, one of which was straight on the tape of a NSH player.

He had a couple miscues but I thought overall he looked good. 3:30 of his TOI was on the PK where he had some nice shot blocks.

If Holl can look like that at 18 minutes I’ll take it because he really should be bottom pair.

That was funny against the Rangers...

I shouted loud at home " was a great pass by Seider! "

...then I noticed it was freaking Holl on that Larkin goal vs. Rangers.

So far so good.

 

[Snuggs]

Couple bad give aways, that didn't lead to much though this time. Great play with Kane and Larkin to get a goal. Took a stupid high stick that lead to a goal 7 seconds in...

IDK, Holl is Holl.

 

[OldnotDeadWings]

Might have been the best game he's had as a Wing. The penalty was being careless with stick, accidental vs. player behind him, not a stupid decision. He has little puck skill and isn't physical, but that version of Holl is a useful bottom pair defenseman. Maybe Edvinsson is a positive influence on him and so far he has not held Ed back either.

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Statistically speaking, Holl was a +8 last year. It was more he got caught up in a rosters numbers crunch than being flat out terrible.

He can be useful if used right.

 

[Henkka]

He is now fine partner for Edvinsson. Let it stay this way.

Holl playing top-4 with Edvinsson be like...
