GDT: Preseason Game 8, Oilers at Canucks in the final (thank God) beer leager. Sportsnet 8 PM

Sounds like you should be a Blues fan.

Look at his post history too. He is 100 percent not an Oilers fan.

Been watching the Blues in pre season. Holloway looks absolutely tuned in. We could use a Holloway with Leon right about now. Just a dumb move by Bowman trying to make some type of statement by not signing at least 1.

It's preseason though. Imo Broberg is still going to be the bigger deal. The funny thing to me is that if they pan out well, we can criticize management for losing them but aren't they also redeemed for making those picks in the first place?

It seemed like a never ending parade of people saying both players were bad draft picks

If ever Holloway was going to be busting his ass on every shift now would be the time. Him and Broberg made themselves the talk of the league by choosing to leave a team that went to game seven of the Finals last season, and a club on which they both had the opportunity to play a decent role this season. Easy to look fired up on day one at a new job when the games don’t count and opponents know it. Let’s see how Dylan handles himself a couple of months down the line when things maybe aren’t going that well for St. Louis and/or his stick goes cold.

Holloway looked like gangbusters at last years camp too.

From NHL edge
Top speed: Draisaitl 92 percentile, Hyman 75 percentile, Nuge 68 percentile, Janmark 79 percentile, 56 percentile, Arvidsson 84 percentile
Speed bursts: Draisaitl 96 percentile, Hyman 80 percentile, Nuge 66 percentile, Janmark 69 precentile, Brown 83 percentile, Arvidsson (usually around 70-75 percentile

Top speed: Foegele 86 percentile, Holloway 78 percentile, McLeod 98 percentile
Speed bursts: Foegele 81 percentile, Holloway 55 percentile, McLeod 99 percentile

They are slower overall but still well above average where itr counts.

Something does not sound right. There is no way Foegele was top 14% in speed. He was SLOW.

Certainly not to my eyes.
