Dylan Holloway - 43gp 15g 17a +11

[Andrei79]

Edmonton had a masterclass in how to brutally mismanage your roster this summer. Idiotic and unnecessary offer sheets that would never have happened under competent management.

Holloway is so good...extremely skilled, extremely fast, plays hard. Did he just hate Edmonton? I see a lot of Oilers fans trying to cope by saying he was low on their depth chart...who would be ahead of him aside from McDavid and Drai?? I don't see any other Oilers forwards I'd take over Holloway.

Holloway coming to STL reminds me a lot of Tage Thompson going to Buffalo and tearing it up. We saw the potential in Thompson when he was here, but he was never given the opportunity to show his true value.

He actually wanted to stay with the Oilers and was shocked when they did not match. He signed the offer sheet cause he and his agent literally got no response from the Oilers. He wanted to put pressure on them so they would negotiate. To this day it's mind-boggling that they did not match. And Holloway he was all screwed inside when they didn't match. He was like WTF? Esp. since it wasn't a huge amount.

Really stupid move by the Oilers.
