Holl signed a three-year, $10.2 million deal with the Red Wings on Saturday, per Joshua Kloke of The Athletic.
The deal will carry an AAV of $3.4. Holl tallied two goals and 18 points in 80 games last season with the Maple Leafs while racking up 151 hits and 139 blocked shots. While the 31-year-old defenseman won't offer enough offense for fantasy purposes, he'll help bring a physical element to the Red Wings blue line.

Maple Leafs' Justin Holl: Snags helpers in comeback
Rotowire
Holl earned an assist in Monday's 5-4 comeback victory over the Lightning.
While Holl was able to bring an eight-game pointless streak to a close, he still hasn't scored in 49 consecutive contests dating back to Dec. 27 versus the Blues. Given his limited offensive upside, the blueliner has just two shots in his last six outings, fantasy players probably shouldn't be banking on Holl producing with any regularity.

Maple Leafs' Justin Holl: Notches assist Tuesday
Rotowire
Holl garnered an assist versus Columbus on Tuesday.
Holl may have gone 40 games without finding the back of the net, and registering just 27 shots along the way, but has been producing assists of late with four in his last eight contests. Without a role with the man advantage, the Minnesota native will be hard-pressed to offer more than mid-range fantasy value.

Maple Leafs' Justin Holl: First healthy scratch this season
Rotowire
Holl will be a healthy scratch Wednesday versus the Blackhawks, reports Sportsnet.ca.
Until now, Holl has played all the Leafs' games this season. But he was minus-3 in Saturday's 4-3 loss to Columbus.

Holl doesn't provide much fantasy value with two goals, nine assists and 26 PIM in 54 games. A night or two in the press box may serve his game well.

Maple Leafs' Justin Holl: Three apples keeps Wings away
Rotowire
Holl picked up three assists in a 10-7 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
Holl looks like a lumber truck on the ice -- slow to get rolling and hard to stop once he does.

But Holl has started to rebound and is on a three-game, five-assist scoring streak. He's not a fantasy scorer, but Holl adds stability to the Toronto blue line.
