Is Toronto's Acquiring Hollweg a Good or Bad Idea?

Question

I know toronto is on the decline but does anyone think adding hollweg is going to help turn around the maple leafs?

Answer 1

I can tell you he won't help them get to the playoffs.  He might help to beat the c**p out of other players, but he does nothing to help the Leafs win.  Unless he magically gets talent this offseason.  I am not a Leafs fan, but if I was I would be severly pissed.  What a horrible signing.  They show Sundin the door, most likely to go with youth... then get rid of Wellwood, and acquire Hollweg.  What a worthless team.

Answer 2

"The first overall pick goes to the Toronto Maple Leafs who choose Jonathon Tavares"

Yes....it'll help in the long run.

Answer 3

Maybe he can show the rest of the team how to grow a bad "p**n star" moustache.  What a clown.

Answer 4

no hollweg will not help the leafs turn around. sometimes watching him play i don't even think he belongs in the league. yea he will hit people and fight but that doesn't mean he is good at it. usually when he tries to lay a big hit on someone he misses or it is a dirty hit and he can't really fight. he can't skate, scored like two goals last season. i am glad the rangers got rid of him. i really don't think it will do anything for the leafs

Answer 5

Hollweg is a franchise player, and with the leafs aquisition of him, they are a playoff teams before.

Answer 6

Holwegg is an awful no skilled player, who takes tons of penalties to hurt your team at the worst time.

Answer 7

Hollweg = Tucker's replacement = Domi's replacement. RH is nothing more than the obligatory goon TO always has on their roster (although at least Tucker had a bit of offensive upside).

He doesn't make them better, and likely makes them worse since he takes up cap space and roster space that could be given to a player with actual talent.
