The Toronto Maple Leafs made that key addition on July 1st when they traded for Tyson Barrie, but there was one other key addition was made and so far, it’s been a success.
Justin Holl has played in all but two games this season. He’s averaged 14:02 of time-on-ice each game and hasn’t looked shy in joining the rush either.
The 27-year-old has 5 assists this season playing with Travis Dermott, Martin Marincin and Kevin Gravel. All unique players that have a different style of play, but Holl has adjusted very well.
He has a lot of offensive ability in his game, but he’s also one of the best defensive zone players on the team.
