But I do think it’s safe to assume Holl is going to play for the Toronto Maple Leafs next season.And he did it on a team that puts offense first and often takes defensive risks to try and score.There are a lot of options, but one thing seem certain: Justin Holl will be on the team because he is the team’s only right-handed defenseman, and he’s awesome.Build your custom FanSided Daily email newsletter with news and analysis on Toronto Maple Leafs and all your favorite sports teams, TV shows, and more.I can’t count the number of times people have said to me should be either on the bottom pairing or in the press box. Holl is so good that he makes that one of the worst takes in Leafs Nation.One of the reason the Leafs defense gets so underrated is because they have a 28 year old rookie in a top-four role, who doesn’t score a lot and doesn’t throw a ton of big hits, and therefore is incredibly underrated.Your favorite teams, topics, and players all on your favorite mobile devices.So I would like to amend my previous statement about next season: There is a 100% chance that the Toronto Maple Leafs use Justin Holl in a top four role next season. Tonight is no exception.
