Dylan Holloway - 43gp 15g 17a +11

Watching Edmonton in the playoffs last year and it was obvious Holloway was going to break out. He was often one of the more noticeable players while some of their big players (rnh, draisaitl) were complete ghosts.

I said right from the start that Holloway is the prize and I'm not at all surprised that he has upped his production. Edmonton made a big mistake here just losing Holloway alone.

He looks really good, tough loss for the Oilers.

I liked Holloway's hustle in the playoffs last year, but your post makes it sound like he was a total stud -- he wasn't. He scored 5 goals in 25 games, with limited ice time, but hardly amazing results.

Meanwhile, Draisaitl -- the "complete ghost" -- scored 8 goals in the first 9 playoff games. (Then he got injured.)

I'm not sure what "the prize" means.

It's no surprise that Holloway is doing well now that he has serious minutes and plays a big role. Glad to see him finding his way.

On the other hand, Holloway is pacing for 60 scoring points --- not 160, as some here make it sound --- and St. Louis is pacing to miss the playoffs. Meanwhile, Edmonton has been the best team in the NHL since Nov. 9th and is doing just as well as last season when they had Holloway.

It's funny to see Holloway do this when there were a group of Oiler fans laughing at him saying he'd never produce like this because he was giving up a chance to play with McDavid or Draisaitl.

No oiler fan said this. Every oiler fan was pretty upset about losing Holloway probably more so the Broberg to be honest. Now im no way did any oiler fans think he would produce like this so soon. Nit we all new he had top 6 potential. And we all nee he was being misused in edmonton as well

But keep talking out your ass

People absolutely said it, as they wondered why he signed the offer sheet in the first place, that he would come to regret it. About how his agent was strong armed into it because there was initial reluctance.

From the Athletic:

Since Montgomery came to town, no player on the Blues has added more value than Holloway’s plus-6.3 Net Rating, a plus-24 pace. That’s elite-forward good, a mark generally only matched by the league’s very best. With 24 points in 22 games, Holloway has scored at a 90-point pace and has had the substance to match. He leads the team with a 63 percent expected-goals rate, six percentage points higher than the next-best Blues player, Pavel Buchnevich.

He would come to regret it due to the fact the Oilers are litterally stamley cup contenders and the blues are the opposite. Pretty simple..
