Holl we are saying is give Justin a chance.

That’s what fans of the Toronto Marlies think when they hear the parent Maple Leafs are on the lookout for big men to try out on the blueline. Justin Holl, based on helping the farm team win the Calder Cup — and in an eventful two game Leafs call-up when he scored twice — has as good a chance as any candidate when camp opens next week.

On Wednesday, with one of the biggest turnouts yet for a summer skate, Holl was invited to the veterans scrimmage, rather than the Marlies and prospects.

“I can be the stay-at-home guy, be solid at both ends and contribute,” Holl said, after he signed a two-year NHL deal in July. “That’s the goal going into camp. I have to make it happen.”

“Goal-a-game Holl” was a nickname the 6-foot-3, 200-pound Minnesotan could learn to live with at the big league level. His two appearances also coincided with the team’s fathers’ road trip.

“That was really fun, but goals and assists, you can’t really control as much as you like. Playing well is the important thing. (The call-up) just reinforces you can play there, realizing what it takes to be there every day, knowing the pressure is always on, to perform at a high level constantly.
