After a rough first training camp, which is to be expected from someone playing their first handful of games in North America, Holm went to the AHL’s Utica Comets where he’s excelled on their top pair and in every phase of special teams. In 42 games with the Comets, Holm had 29 points (11 goals and 18 assists) and looked the part of someone with NHL potential. That said, Holm is already 26-years-old, and as such we have to take his counting stats with something of a grain of salt. In the best-case scenario, I could see Holm developing into a third pair defender. This isn’t a huge loss. In Leipsic, the Canucks get a younger player (he’s only 23-years-old) whose been highly productive at the AHL level and has flashed middle-six upside in the NHL. In 50 career NHL games, Leipsic has 16 points (three goals and 13 assists), which prorated over a full 82-game season is about a 26 point pace. What’s especially encouraging are the circumstances in which Leipsic has produced those numbers. With Vegas, Leipsic was seemingly the only player to not be on the receiving end of more good bounces than bad. It took Leipsic until December 28th to notch his first goal of the season. When we use the Corsica.Hockey expected goals metric, Leipsic’s shot volume and quality should leave him with about three more goals at 5-on-5 alone. If there’s any team that can help Leipsic get going offensively, it’s probably the Canucks. Canucks head coach Travis Green knows Leipsic from their time together with the WHL’s Portland Winterhawks. Whether Leipsic pans out or not, it’s hard to not see this trade as anything short of a massive win for the Canucks. It’s about upside, and I think Leipsic offers a fair amount more than Holm. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xereau Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 He is speedy. Decent addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Biestra Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Glad to have him. He was lighting it up in Vegas before he got hurt early in the year. A bit of a trend of Benning bailing on D prospects early on is starting to develop though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm.. an agitator ... but can he back it up? He's kinda small at 5' 10" and 180. Anyone know if he's a fighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea myself at this point but it seems like Holm's return was better than Vanek's? That does puzzle me if it's true. Like this trade not so high on the Vanek return yet but maybe Motte turns out just as good or better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
