Player Discussion Pontus Holmberg

[thewave]

Turning what around? He's had a good 10 games in his career.

Doesn't matter. It's time to get rid of the guys that don't work. Robertson will probably clear waivers he is so bad.

Nylander is already in the pressbox... they are.

His English is horrible, WTF? Did they stop teaching English in Sweden? Usually Swedish players have been very eloquent speakers. Sundin, Forsberg, Lidstrom, etc.

It does not sound like he knew English before arriving in Canada.

Maple Leafs Quick Hits: Grebyonkin, Holmberg & Hakanpaa

As the Toronto Maple Leafs training camp continues, which players are looking good? Is there a chance Nikita Grebyonkin will make the team?

Since arriving from Sweden in 2022, he’s had to overcome a language barrier, but Holmberg has been working both on and off the ice. His English has improved thanks to classes, watching TV shows like The Office, and mimicking television dialogue.

You can show me this game in 20 years and I will remember it. What a crazy game.

Whatever it takes, the Leafs need a real third line center. It is the key to the difference between contenders and pretenders. Trade for Kadri -- now. Its the final link in the chain we need.

Wait until trade deadline. Most of their salaries for the year would be paid by then and there will be plenty of team selling

1. Kadri isn't a real third line C.
2. Calgary are currently in a playoff position, based on %. They aren't going to be sellers right now.
3. Calgary doesn't want to trade with us.
4. Kadri wasn't that good as with 3C usage with us, when he was with us.
5. Shanahan would never allow a trade for Kadri.
6. Kadri is a 1.26 P/60 5v5, Minten is 1.79 P/60 5v5.

He is just an anomaly, either he didn't care enough for the subject growing up, or he might suffer from some sort of learning disability.

You're right. We just need to sit tight and buy everyone amulets
