Larkin had twice the points. Trash pick

 

[Smartguy]

Not going to jump all over it, hopefully works well

 

[Joey Moss]

Wow I’m not sure about this

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Not a huge fan but time will tell
3rd line checker IMO

Welcome to the Oilers!

A late 2001 birthday, Dylan Holloway put up eight goals and nine assists for 17 points in 35 games as a freshman at the University of Wisconsin. He also showed a gritty side to his game with 49 penalty minutes. His father, Bruce Holloway was a defenceman drafted by the Vancouver Canucks in 1981 and played two NHL games. He had a long pro career in the AHL and IHL.

Holloway spent last season with the Okotoks Oilers in the AJHL. He was named the league’s most valuable player. Holloway scored 40 goals and 88 points in 53 games. He also added nine goals and 13 points in 11 playoff games. Holloway has also represented Canada internationally, putting up one goal and three points in five games and winning gold at the 2018 Hlinka-Gretzky Cup. He has also played at the last two World Junior A Hockey Championships, winning gold in the December 2017 tourney. Holloway also played at the 2019 IIHF Under-18 World Championships, scoring four points in seven games.

Larkin had twice the points. Trash pick

Well no, Larkin didn't play in the NCAA in his draft year.

 

[Canovin]

He’s an Oilers now. Can’t hate him

 

[Soli]

Honestly, potentially leaves the program in Wisconsin.

 

[Markham30]

Yikes

 

[gordonhught]

Sucks, no offense

 

[McFlash97]

Steps up to pick a 3rd line trash. Easy could have traded down. Miserable organization. Holland having wet dreams of the name Dylan.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Big body, his game didn’t carry over to NCAA, but there was improvement right before the shut down. The thing will be if they can get him To transition to the pro game.

 

[McDoused]

Great pick! Welcome to the Oilers Dylan!

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

Hell Yah!! This is who I really wanted. He's going to be unreal for the Oilers

 

[jukon]

I'm ok with this.

 

[Zaddy]

Sure hope he shows some offensive upside next year in college.

Seems like NCAA will start up in November.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Jarvis being picked 1 spot ahead of us hurts.

I don't mind this. Not the most exciting pick and his upside isn't especially high but he has a high floor and should be a nice fit here. I think he'll become a fan favourite with his speed and physicality.

Welcome to Edmonton!

 

[PBandJ]

Not sure about this one, but welcome to the Oilers.

Trying to turn a new leaf and be positive here.

[oil Leaks]

Great pick

 

[JarvisFunk]

Everyone hated Broberg last year and now that pick looks awesome. Not going to trash it until he proves otherwise

 

[Hynh]

Well no, Larkin didn't play in the NCAA in his draft year.

Compare their birthdays. Larkin is a July 1996 birthday with 47 points in 35 games. Holloway is an September 2001 birthday with 19 points.

 

[Llamamoto]

He's fast, he can shoot, and he's big. He's not a dumb player either, and he really improved during the second half of the season.

Let's give him a chance before calling him a bust lol. I would have preferred Reichel, but this isn't a bad pick.
