    Cool…. (Checks to see if there’s Chinese Hockey Team also named the Leafs)

  2. GreatSetting34

    And I want another shot at having hair. That ship has sailed.

  3. Neutral-President

    Another shot *at what,* exactly?

    Does he even *know* why he’s there? Because I’m not sure he does.

  4. 1UP4UScoobydoo

    Could still play a role but needs less ice time and better managed.

  5. SDAisaleaf

    It’s crazy how he still wants to be here even after all the vitriol he faced here, including being booed at home. He deserves better than this fanbase. He gave it his all every night, killed penalties, and took hits to make plays. All things that would endear him to normal fans, but unfortunately he was turned into a scapegoat because he had the nerve to be less than amazing

  6. TheWomper

    Unless he wants to play for the Marlies, there is no way the Leafs consider him for another season.

  7. specialk554

    I’m not a Holl guy but if he signs for league min and we run him as a 7D, I’m fine with that.

  8. NewspaperEfficient61

    Sure why not, Toronto likes doing the same crap over and over

  9. FonziesCousin

    He should play for the Oilers or Flyers because this Pylon is orange.

  10. considerseabass

    If he’s back, I will simply give up. Enough shoving this guy down our throat. Give that role to Lily, let him grow into it and shut up. Simple as that.

    Justin, it’s not you, it’s me.

    I don’t like the person I become when I watch a game and you are on the ice.

    I’m sorry. I’m sure you’ll find someone who appreciates all the things you bring to the table, but that person isn’t me.

  12. icheerforvillains

    Also, would you take Holl, age 31, at a 2 million cap hit or Schenn, age 33, at 1 million?

    I’d take Schenn.

  13. DannyDevitosAgent

    Justin, buddy… I love you and all but it’s over man.. Unfortunately it’s time to go.

  14. shanster925

    Hey, me too! I’m 6’4″ and a right-hand shot.

    No further questions.

  15. Chambodian

    Sure but that shot has to be from a canon and it aimed out of town.

  16. He would be fine as 6D the problem is Keefe would play him over Liljegren which is just insanity

  17. *rolls up in a motorized wheel chair*

    How bout no

  18. hoselrocket-

    just sign holl to a lifelong contract already,

    that’d be the leafiest thing to do, and we all know the leafs will be leafy.

  19. Rancid_Peanut

    Sorry, I’ve heard “… and there goes Holl in deep” way too many times. In fact once was more than enough.

  20. XPhazeX

    Lol @ Holl getting a million dollar *raise*

  21. burkeocet

    Justin could be a 5-6D somewhere else without the spotlight for a fan base that hasn’t turned him into a whipping boy…

  22. Big_Albatross_3050

    I know he’s a big RHD, but the Leafs have Lilli, Timmins, and Schenn if he extends. Plus Hirvonen and Niemla are gonna start pushing very soon and I don’t want the have Holl on a long term contract blocking their path onto the team due to being lower on the depth chart

  23. Ellicrom

    Maybe an unpopular opinion, but Holl played some solid hockey mid-season when half the team was injured, and probably could have continued to be a great contributor as 7D and occasional 3rd pairing. The problem is/was Keefe, who thinks Holl is Jesus on ice skates and relies on him way too much.

    $2M AAV? Heck no. League min? Sure.

  24. Snorlax_Route12

    Dude just doesn’t want to move

  25. Deluxechin

    I get it, who doesn’t want to play for the Leafs and there’s plenty of reports he’s a joy in the locker room, but Justin buddy, you only have a short period of time in the NHL, go get your contract, there’s going to be a team out there offering you a fuck ton of money, be greedy, this is the only time you really get to do so

  26. sharabhi

    Let Dubas give him 3mill x 3yrs in Pitts.

  27. edit-boy-zero

    If they toss him a contract, it’ll fly right past him and hit Samsonov in the face

  28. terimaki89

    And I’d love another shot at my 20s…. but all good (and in this case thoroughly mediocre to below average) things must come to an end.
