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.Clearly I lost the plot in our discussions and missed what you were communicating. My apology for that - I was really fixated on PTO vs. the ATO which is as you have stated is a valid option for Holloway. I'm most interested in whether Holloway opts to go pro (or not) this year. The contractual way he does that isn't really of interest to me. That clearly shows in missing your valid points! I missed the mark.

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.

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 him 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.

Turris would get claimed for sure
He is having a bad season but proven vet 3rd C on a reasonable contractyou think?
to me, he is the only real disappointment of all the free agents so far
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.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.
man, his forechecking and physical play alone would help a lot - JP and Holloway dig for pucks and mcdavid just waits for loose pucks
