Believe it or not, I would rather keep Holl. He isn’t as good as Dumba (or is he? ), but he’s a lot cheaper.

Holl is a very underrated player. He is exceptionally good. There is no way I see anyone on the team knocking him out of 2RHD right now. I’m more than comfortable with him on the team. He provides exceptional value for his price point. Can’t say the same about Dumba.

Minnesota is in a good spot this year. They have four of the worst teams in their division. They also have three of the best. So long as Minnesota can tread water, they should make the playoffs ahead of the four teams beneath them. I don’t think anyone considers them contenders though.

They have to move Dumba or lose him for free likely in the expansion draft. So this is a good return for Minny. Good enough to offer Dumba+ 2 1st round picks? That is a lot for Nylander and Holl. Regardless, Minny doesn't have the cap space to take on an extra $3M.

From the Leafs side, I agree with HL. Holl is underrated by many and is really good value as a #4. Leafs would get a good return, but I don't think they would have made the team better and now they have to protect Dumba or lose him in the draft. So really, it becomes Nylander, Holl and whatever forward they have to expose and lose in the draft for Dumba and 2 1sts and the cap space.

Agree with HL here, I have really enjoyed Holl's game. He's a much better player than I think most give him credit for.
