Wrong. Holland offered. Again, when you get something and it costs you nothing, that thing is FREE.

Not free. There had to be some kind of exchange. Perhaps adding a year on to a contract. Something minimal for a 6th.

It’s a not service cause it’s part of Dubas duties as GM to sign or not to sign. Services aren’t exchanged between GMs in this League, assets are.

Tell leaf’s fans Dubas didn’t want to lift his finger for a free asset. They wouldn’t like it. Actually most don’t. A free 6th was denied out of spite.

To add the year and reduce the cap, a 6th wasn't enough. There was nothing free. Teams pay picks often at the trade deadline for third team to perform a similar service. As they say in economics: TANSTAAFL

To add the year and reduce the cap, it would have cost Dubas nothing. 3rd party teams exchange Cap Space (asset) for draft picks(asset). Dubas would have exchanged nothing, for something. Dubas screwed the Leaf’s here. One part of why he was canned. But we can agree to disagree, again.

Pretty sure this is his second trade request. He had his opportunity last year. There’s some talent there for sure. He just plays a game above what his size is and he’s frequently injured every time he catches some steam. Was always a project, didn’t work out here

He's Jeff Skinner lite. Can score some goals, but is bad at everything else.
He is good secondary scorer for bottom feeder team. But in serious playoff team he can't play.

I'd argue he's even less valuable to the Leafs now that he's no longer waiver exempt. Some people are way too attached to these marginal players.
If he breaks out with anther team, good for him. It doesn't mean it would have happened if he stayed with Toronto.
But I'm not terribly big on keeping players who don't want to be there.
Move him out and move on.

Repeatedly not producing when given the opportunity will do that.
He just does nothing, very sporadic offense, no defense, no grit.
