there's always a GM out there willing to overpay for a guy thats won the cup. I think he'll get a raise. 

I think Toronto is looking to move Andersen to try and sign Holtby. Not saying it's the right move, but it's a very Toronto move especially if overpayment is part of it.

I don't think people know just how bad Holtby was this year. He was terrible and that was after have 2 prior poor years. He is definitely not going to get a lot of money.

He had a great start to his career but the last 3 have been very subpar. He might find his form again but I can't see a team throwing a lot of money at him. At this point in his career he is a backup.

Mediocre numbers the past three seasons. Outplayed by good backups in Samsonov and Grubauer and only managed to marginally edge Copley statistically who isn't even a legit starter in the AHL. 

He is only worth 1.5-2 million but might get 4-5 based on his pedigree. 

haha nailed it
