Misleading title. Only the Marlies signed him.

Looks like he came to Canada at 13. Nice to see him get rewarded for his hard work and commitment.

You never know with these types of signings.

Holl was a great one that they plucked out of nowhere.

The simple thing about him is that he needs a lot of work pretty much everywhere. Nothing is really standout NHL level at this point, but he has a nice offensive toolkit to build upon. His defense needs a good amount of work if he wants to make it (would also help if he can continue to PK as well) and he needs to fill out a lot, since he should aim to be more of a forechecking sniper who can get off hard and quick shots in tight and maintaining a cycle.

If he gets another 20lbs on his frame, he can fill a role similar to Vesey right now but with better puck skills. 20-25 upside, guy who can do a lot in tight areas but still rip a puck and make some plays in space, ultimately a guy who needs to do a lot of small things which will get him to the NHL.

Fortunately, his effort level has improved a lot, and it showed in his D+2 year so hopefully that continues going forward.

Holl was a great one that they plucked out of nowhere.

But Holl wasn't an unknown. He was a 2nd round draft pick of Chicago.

I see a lot about him being a slow skater, but when I watch him he isn't exactly slow, he just stands still a lot or stops moving his feet when he gets the puck.

Barb can work with that I think.

Purely looking at his stats here, last year he scored less in 31 games than in 13 with the Marlies the previous year. He's obviously too good for the E. Any Marlie fans around? Was he not given ice time?
