I'd run him down the middle unless we see Holloway as a C long term. Marody IMO is all but finished as a NHL prospect unless he has a huge offseason and makes significant strides this season.
Are you thinking of McLeod on the 4th line? I believe Holloway was drafted on the basis he will be a pro center but that is 2-3 years away and if you can possibly develop another C with size and speed that's a unicorn outside of a top 10 pick. Having said that Mcleod's lack of snipe looks eerily like his brother's. He has an NHL physical package but the scoring may prevent him from ever being a top 9 guy.
Doesn't shoot enough and is 7% when he does. Guys who never shoot usually can't be made to so for any success he will be challenged. He probably has to get to 2 SOG per game and a % of at least 10. Otherwise he becomes a winger and scratching for minutes. I liked the pick a lot when they made it and to me he looks better than his stat line but what does a 5g forward in the AHL typically develop into?
