The Arizona Coyotes will be the new home for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Peter Holland after the Leafs struck a deal for a conditional pick to unload Holland off the roster.
Holland had minimal success in Toronto and perhaps will enjoy more in Arizona with a fresh start, but this is a move the Leafs needed to make.
The most unfortunate part of this whole situation is that it could have been avoided.
Rather than let Holland walk in the off-season like they should have, the Toronto Maple Leafs decided it was a good idea to bog down their one-way roster and give him a contract that, frankly, he didn’t deserve.
