Confirmed Signing with Link: [TOR] Leafs sign Peter Holland (1 year, $1.3M)

[Territory]

Obvious negotiating tactic. If clears it makes it easier to argue he deserves 900k. If he doesn't, another team can risk giving him 2.1m.

Leafs have plenty of players to replace him. Actually, a logjam and they will still need to get rid of people.

Wonder if gets sent to the marlies....

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Not really a surprise. He is a very average player imo. Dime a dozen.

 

[sparxx87]

Too bad he has no compete level, he's a pretty talented player.

With his work ethic, he'll never prosper.

Can you trade players after arbitration hearings?

Can you trade players after arbitration hearings?

Yes, there are no trade restrictions before or after arbitration.

Would need to pass through waivers again. From the CBA;

13.2 The "Playing Season Waiver Period" shall begin on the twelfth (12th) day prior to the start of the Regular Season and end on the day following the last day of a Club's Playing Season. Subject to the provisions of this Article, the rights to the services of a Player may be Loaned to a club of another league, upon fulfillment of the following conditions, except when elsewhere expressly prohibited:

(a) Regular Waivers were requested and cleared during the Playing Season Waiver Period; and
(b) the Player has not played in ten (10) or more NHL Games cumulative since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared, and more than thirty (30) days cumulative on an NHL roster have not passed since Regular Waivers on him were last cleared.

Throwback to when Percy and Holland were the replacements for quality players... and here we are.

 

[IslesNorway]

They will settle this very quickly now Holland has no leverage

 

[Kraken Jokes]

He may not have cleared waivers for sure if he was under contract. So, as someone mentioned, in order to be sent down to the Marlies he'd have to clear waivers again.

Yep if there's anything GMs hate it's uncertainty. If Holland HAD been picked up off waivers then obviously he's worth more in his arbitration hearing on Monday. And since the spread is 900k to 2.1M it's a big risk that you're stuck with a 2 million dollar player when you thought it would be closer to 1.

Crap player

 

[Halla]

we need holland signed to a 2 year deal so we can expose him as one of our two forwards in the expansion draft.

2 years, 1.2 per

That would be ideal

that seems high to me, but not horrible or anything. Happy for Peter.

 

[Liminality]

Good, that exposes him to the expansion draft right?

Make it or break it year for him, hope he finds some sort of consistency. If not, it's not the end of the world by any means.

If it's for 1 year, how does that expose him?

 

[Liminality]

Oh woops he needs to have a contract in the 2017-2018, brain fart.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Surprised he got that much after clearing waivers.

 

[Hally BlackWood]

Hes going to the minors this year

He still becomes their property, they'll have his RFA rights.

 

[X66]

Can't imagine him on the opening night roster, don't think Babcock is a fan.

Not a bad player though.

 

[Mike Jones]

He still becomes their property, they'll have his RFA rights.

I think they have to qualify him first though - right?
