The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed German defensemen, Korbinian Holzer, to a 2 year, 2-way entry level deal. The contract will see the youngster earn $62,500 ($781.25 per game) at the AHL level or a cap hit of $595,000 ($7,256.10 per game) in the big league.

Alex has shown himself to be a one-dimensional player in a way player’s are not normally considered. Scoring only 7pts (3g, 4a) through 55 games with the Marlies, Alex’s contribution has solely been in an agitating fashion.

RICOH COLISEUM, TORONTO, ONTARIO, OCTOBER 4th, 2009:

Hockey is in the air in Toronto. The Leafs had lost a heartbreaker at home in OT against the Canadiens a few nights earlier and hockey fans were hungry for a win. I had been anticipating the start of the hockey year knowing that I would be taking on a larger role covering the Marlies.
