  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
I don't know anything about him to be honest. But I already like him more than Mikaheyev and Simmonds

I can gurantee you if he plays 14 NHL playoff games, he'll get more than a point. Something Simmonds and Mikaheyev couldn't do.
Last 2 years playoff combined Simmonds has 2 points in 9 games and Mika has 0 points in 12 games

Welcome to the Leafs Pontus......Get ready for fans like me

What does his current personal wealth have to do with what he signs for? Players are worth what the market will pay, why would they take a discount? No one else in our "core" did, why would he? Oh I forgot, he's rich so he should sacrifice career earnings for us. SMH

The guys that think he should take a pay cut for the Leafs are the same guys who would never take a pay cut for the betterment of their company.

Hey everybody, quick, look over here! Let’s all forget about the playoff failure and focus on some hack from a 3rd rate foreign league.

Agreed, no one here has taken a discount, minus the old vets. Would it really be worth it to him to sign for cheap, and continue to lose in the first round?

Ignoring the mocking comments by people which is a bad look for those users, Holmberg has steadly improved each year before breaking out on the playoffs. His IQ extremely high.

You better get used to it. This place is going to be largely negative for the foreseeable future. I would say until we at the very least win a playoff round.
 
someone to show them how to play in playoffs? its good grandpa Thorton still remembers it, but it ain't the same.

Players don't necessarily have to take market value.

The point is, at some point, people have enough to live off their earnings for the rest of their lives. If I was in his position and I could help the team, I totally would, regardless of what my teammates did or did not do. It's called setting a precedent.

Of course, you'll say "I guarantee you wouldn't have if you were in his position" which I find a terrible argument. Some people may actually have really good morals and can realize when they have enough...
 
wow, he's actually taller than 5'6".............

Is he coming to North America this year, or is he staying in Europe? I can’t recall his contract status.

he has a pretty good development curve, and considered cerebral and smart on both sides of the book. Here’s hoping it translates.

on an aside, is Hallander coming over? Also can’t recall.

Shameful post, man.

What's shameful about it?

Hyman appears ready to enter UFA looking at a 6 million. Hyman is extremely rich and this was an argument people were using saying he would give us a discount due to having come from wealth while marner(some people's defense) was that he wasn't rich growing up so his 10.9M was fair.

Holmberg being a 40 point player is shameful? That's pretty much the best case scenario with him. He can come in and play a similar role to AJ when he was here
 
Not like I've seen him play, but seems like he's been going down a promised development path.

Leafs will need to finally start hitting on some of these later round draft picks

This guy isn't a free agent. He's a recent Leafs draft pick

Somewhat presumptuous of you to know what I will say, no?

I simply feel that you draw a false moral equivalence to taking less and being a “good person”. Rather, I think he is free to do as he feels and it won’t change my perspective on him. Guy works hard and deserves whatever he chooses. He was a treat to watch in a leaf uniform either way.

Would he become a legend if he stayed here on a cheap deal? You’re damn right he would.
