The move is raising some eyebrows as the Leafs continue to be criticized for their bottom six play, specifically on the fourth line. They could be bringing up Holmberg, who's played in 7 games for the Leafs this year, in order to change things up at the bottom of the lineup, or even send a message with a healthy scratch.
Holmberg has yet to score for the Leafs this year, but has 1 goal and 1 assist in 2 games with the Marlies.
This is clearly a move to replace Ryan Reaves on the fourth line.
