Just Holl left Toronto this past offseason after a difficult postseason with the Leafs. He was widely criticized for his play during the Florida and Tampa series, where he didn't excel as normal.
Holl recently discussed his move from Toronto and how he felt about leaving the City. He opened up about moving on from the Leafs in what he thinks is the next step in his career.
While this isn't a direct shot at the Leafs and Leaf fans, it wouldn't be unreasonable for Holl to have felt undervalued by the City.
Holl is off to an amazing start in Detroit, playing exactly the game he needs too. Not a flashy, points-scoring one, but a stay-at-home, PK, physical defensive game that he has excelled at during his career.
Hopefully, Holl will stay consistent in his performance as the year goes on for Detroit.
