More depth and internal competition is always a good thing

 

[ACC1224]

Nice

Leafs are gonna have more minimum wagers than a McDonalds franchise.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Is he still an NHLer?

 

[bossram]

Benn probably checks in as their "physical" 7D.

Holl will be traded at some point.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Some size and a guy who likes to block shots a la Gio.

Solid depth signing who might find his way into the lineup?

Call me a fossil but I like old school defensive minded defenseman. Does this mean Holl is moved for cap space? Potentially.

Came here to say that lol

Ehhhh depth level, so probably spares and goes in once in awhile. He could surprise, just not sure where he fits at all over the top 6.

He's a physical defenseman though. Very physical.

Probably a bush replacement who isn’t expected to see much time. A guy whose happy to be in 1 city regardless of NHL or AHL

Nice pickup, guys was super underrated in montreal! Good 7thD, probably slots in for Boosh

You like Benn or asking us to like your post. Whatever, I got you.

Nice depth here with the signings of Benn and Mete. Good protection if/when waivers and injuries come into play.

Well maybe people can stop complaining now. Physical 7 and thats putting it lightly. Another lefty though. Something has to give

 

[Coachcorner]

The guy is an absolute monster and a pusher man. Talking the talk, talkin like the pusher man. He looks the part, talks the part and evidently acts the part in the end. We needed his type. The polak type, who not playing a lot, but those minutes he plays, he warriors and trolls it up. Big tyme like evander kane. Wich he of course does in BIG minutes and goals. Benn, is the character model we need to build on.

Another trash signing by the trash GM

 

[Americanadian]

I don't get this one. No way he's playing on the Marlies. Basically ensures the Leafs run 7D on the roster full time, without figuring out Sandin, 8 if they do keep Sandin/Holl.

He has played both sides - better at LD though

 

[LeafsOHLRangers98]

a lot of fringe LD on the roster now. Wouldn't be surprised to see Muzzin moved as soon as Sandin is locked into a bridge deal to LA or maybe even San Jose.

I don't know about that, but the Leafs just signed Benn. He is a good physical D who should compete for a spot.

He hasn't played an AHL game in 10 years so my guess is he will be. I don't mind this get.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

There is the second top 4 RD for the Marlies.

Didn't expect him to be okay with going down to the AHL, but I will take it.

 

[CelticDruid]

Benn and Muzzin will block a lot of shots.... with the two beard stack.
