Now he finds out what Love truly is.
I really liked Holland. It's too bad things never really worked out in the NHL.
edit: I couldn't really remember how we acquired him originally. It was Jesse Blacker (bust) and a 2nd and 7th round draft pick. Those picks ended up being used on Marcus Pettersson and Ondrej Kase. We obviously can't suggest that the Leafs would have picked the same players but interesting that Anaheim really nailed those specific picks.

Anaheim always seems to do well with picks they acquire from the Leafs - Sam Steel, Maxime Comtois, Rickard Rakell, John Gibson...we shouldn't let them have any more of our picks.

Polak's signed with a team in Europe for 20/21. What's interesting is his comments seem to suggest he wouldn't want to return to the States to participate in Dallas' playoff run. Maybe there's some translation issues there and he'll offer a correction but that's what it seems to say. There's more in the thread.
He also talked about how frustrating his season was in Dallas as he had to play in a rotation for a long period of time and it was difficult to stay motivated.

Jeremy Bracco signed a two-way deal with the Hurricanes.
I admit, I don't entirely get this one. I guess I'm just not an AHL watcher but to me it seems like if a guy can score the way he did in the AHL at his age you should probably at least give him a NHL look. Even if he's the worst defensive player in the history of the game, a team with depth scoring issues feels like a place to at least test the proposition out

He had one good-looking AHL season largely thanks to Chris Mueller. His defensive skill is underrated but his work rate doesn?t make up for when his go-to moves get stymied. He will have to make some changes to keep up in Carolina?s skate-chaos-skate system.
He is a crafty and elusive skater when he gets going, but it?s a style that limits him to the right wing.
You could take the sunglasses in the truck selfie subset of the fanbase?s general criticism of Nylander (which are shallow and not true) and apply them accurately to Bracco.

Hope the kid gets his shite together, learn from Clune about real work ethic he tried to teach him. Wish him well, some things are just not meant to be.

He def has world class passing skills. Would have liked to seen him get a shot but whatever. Good luck to him.Highlander said:
