I know you knew I was talking about Holland all along, and don't come back at me with a homonym about wooden shoes.It'll be another Dylan doin' it!

All good. I’m thinking he turns pro after this season. Not sure he’d have much to gain by spending another in Wisconsin.

Not to mention that his services with the Oilers might be sorely needed if RNH is not re-signed.

It would be a ton of pressure on him but he's probably the best equipped player in our org for that assignment.
man, his forechecking and physical play alone would help a lot - JP and Holloway dig for pucks and mcdavid just waits for loose pucks

The college league is a long way from the NHL but you get the feeling that this guy has a work ethic that has no fear.
Really, if you look at the Oilers: Mc-D, Drai, RNH (assuming he stays), Puls and Yams--I could see Holloway being the 6th best forward on the club in relatively short order.

It most definitely is and I don't mean that he will set the league ablaze. But he is defensively responsible, solid on draws and goes to the dirty areas. As long as you expect him to be the 3rd wheel offensively on that line IMO he should fit in pretty well.

Yes, I think the "waiver wire" and "taxi squad" stories from this season tell us a lot as to how much talent there is behind the top 5 and the rest of the league seems to agree. No rush to claim these guys even with teams that have cap space.

Honest question, if we waived Turris or even Kahun, would anyone claim them? We know that Chiasson, Khaira (at the time at least) and Ennis got no nibbles.

I honestly don't think anyone is going to pick up the Turris contract with the extra year attached but I think Kahun would be gone.

I would tend to agree, but it wouldn't blow my mind if Kahun cleared. Of our bottom 6 guys, only Archibald and Khaira (given his recent play) would get claimed at the moment IMO. The rest are either overpaid or just not playing very well.

Badger roadkill today. Wolverines 5-1 over Wisconsin and no points for Holloway or Caufield. Badgers fall 5-1 to Wolverines | Wisconsin Badgers

Kahun has actually been good though. He deserves a chance on the Mcdavid line simply for the fact RNH is just become a nothing on that line and Kahun digs for pucks like Yammamoto.
I think the only upside Turris has had thus far is his faceoff prowess? Too lazy to look his #'s up. I wish we found out he was out of hape or dinged up TBH. I expected him to be half a step faster for a 3C role.

Yeah that was a beaut inside the bar.
Cole got the benefit of Holloway in the middle for a shift to end the period. Something to keep an eye on for the rest of the game.

Holloway-McDavid-Pulju would be the fastest and likely one of the best forechecking lines in hockey.
Those two play a style of game that matches McDavids style of winger best. Not to mention Holloway can do some heavy lifting defensively or in the faceoff circle as needed. Although, McDavid has really improved in that area this year.

With a name like Pelton-Byce I'd think of pounding him face-first into the boards too!
