plus a great complement to McDavid or Draisaitl, so a great pick from just about any angle.

Those were the best lines from the head coaches mouth. Good to hear.

Seth Jarvis cut. Holloway makes the team. Our scouts are vindicated 
Great news! Can not wait to see him play in red and white silks. Liking this pick more and more. Well done Holland.
I'm a little shocked Jarvis was cut however I think they definitely like the intangibles, especially for a guy who will most likely be on the 4th line.Seth Jarvis cut. Holloway makes the team. Our scouts are vindicated

You have to like the early returns on the 2020 draft.
It's still a long way to the NHL for both Holloway and Savoie but at the very least it looks like the Oil have 2 of the most exciting prospects in college hockey. That's a good day's work.

Not sure this team really has a 4th line. They have a top line and three 2nd lines by the looks of things. Even without Laf this team is stacked. Going to be a really good tournament.

A great skater who is physical and comes to play every night.
Sounds like an NHL'er at bare minimum.

I'm not that shocked.
Team Canada at every level loves bringing extra centres that can play the wing.
The only thing it loves more are 200 foot players.
Holloway is both.

Any other year Jarvis probably makes this team. Guys like Dach, Cozens, Byram etc would be playing pro hockey. Not enough space for a guy who’s top 6 or bust. Holloway will do a lot of the dirty work for Team Canada while chipping in offensively.

Jury still out on Newhook vs Broberg though.Seth Jarvis cut. Holloway makes the team. Our scouts are vindicated
Awesome for Holloway and Oil fans
It was never Newhook or Broberg though? It was Broberg or Zegras, Podkolzin or Caufield.

Newhook took a huge step forward this past year, he's right with Zegras and the others. I'd rank them like:
Newhook
Zegras
Boldy
Caufield
Podkolzin
(And I'd have a couple defensemen ahead of Pod as well)
Newhook's one issue was playing in the BCHL and people questioning how that would translate, but his NCAA play completely negated those concerns.
The same thing seems to be happening with Savoie.
Edit: I'm not ranking those guys versus Broberg, this isn't a knock on him at all. I have him in that tier with Newhook and Zegras, and a bit ahead of Boldy. You can unlike my post Aerchon.

Yeah. And Boldy is having a great start this year too, so maybe he was the guy. Who knows.

I havnt watched Newhook but I thought of him as a speedster.
if him and DH look good that may workout for McD.

With where Broberg was ranked there were many many forwards that "could" have been taken before him. Especially since the Oilers were very slim on forward prospects and the draft was billed as very forward heavy.
Zegras, Podkolzin, Boldy, Caufield, Newhook, and Krebs. Even a guy like Kaliyev was debated. Zegras imo was a slam dunk as a consensus #4/5 OA that fell to us but who knows, he may not translate into the nhl well. I especially hate the Ducks and really dislike how they swooped in and nabbed him after we let him drop.
We did have Lavoie fall to us. I'm hoping we get lucky and Broberg and Lavoie cover the spread of missing out on Zegras.
Lavoie and Holloway and maybe Savioe now with how his hot start is going maybe we get some forwards to compliment McDrai sooner than later.
Holloway especially is exactly my kind of complimentary player id like to see stapled to McDavid. Likely considered rushing with Hollands tendencies I would like in a perfect world to see Holloway have a great draft +1 year in college and then dominate the AHL for a year max before being an effective 2 way top 6 mainstay for McDavid.

I like that Holloway, McLeod, and Lavoie could all possible end up centers as well. One might be able to lock that down for us once Turris moves on. I always felt Benson could play center with his skillset as well.

Broberg was never in the picture on HFOil until very late when Stauffer started pumping him up. Newhook was certainly in conversation with Caufield, Zegras and Boldy. Broberg was a reach in top 10 as was Seider

I think Holloway can be a great energy player for Team Canada. His aggressive game powered by strong skating and size with ability to move around the line-up. Will be fun to see how he's utilized and how he responds on the big stage.
