Definitely Holloway. I've seen Jarvis in-person at a couple of Canes games, and while he's definitely talented, Holloway strikes me as having more hustle and bite.

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Well as of right now its pretty hard to say no to 17 goals that came with Jarvis. I think Holloway has a chance to better but if Holloway scores 17 this year I would be ecstatic

Seth Jarvis has done it..

What are we doing here? The pick was made.
You don't need to guess... just watch for a few years.

 

[Rengorlex]

Holloway because I don't watch Jarvis and don't intend to watch him unless he's traded to Oilers. f*** other teams players.

 

[Fourier]

It is more a matter of style for me. Holloway's game seems to fit like a glove to the needs of the team. Jarvis is very skilled and may well outscore Holloway throughout his whole career. But Holloway's two-way potential with bulldog determination is really needed more.

 

[CycloneSweep]

I only picked Jarvis cause he has NHL experience and played great. No idea for the future.

 

[MoneyGuy]

Ask me in 3+ years.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

40 points in 68 games as a rookie is impressive. If Holloway comes close to Jarvis' offensive output while being a two-way, forechecking nightmare, then it's easily Holloway.

 

[Beerfish]

I was happy with the Holloway pick then and am now. (Unlike the picks the year before and year after which I disliked a lot.)

 

[KlefDown]

I doubt Holloway puts up 40 points in this rookie year tbh and Jarv did it at a younger age

The majority of Oilers fans wanted Jarvis at that draft so I wanted to see if any body has changed their minds. It's just a light n simple discussion, no need to get aggravated over it lol

Yeah, I wanted Zegras in 2019 as well but was also okay with the Broberg pick and it seems like he's Klefbom 2.0 which is good. The Bourgault pick pissed me off only cause Wallstedt was there. If he was chosen before hand then Bourgault would've been fine but that really pissed me off and I had never been so angry at passing over a player before. I also didn't like the Schaefer pick, we either should've traded down or traded it completely for a player like Nils Lundqvist from NYR

Hard to call , One has made an impact the the NHL and one had his development slowed down because of an injury that required 2 surgeries. Wait 3 years and we will know.

 

[Canovin]

I wanted Jarvis at the draft. Happy with Holloway. The Oilers could use both players

 

[Broberg Speed]

What do you think of the Reid Schaefer pick? I think it was a safe pick myself but he's a long shot to make the top six.

Scahefer has a great shot and can find the open spots. If we expect a guy that will be dusitn penner like and score but have faults then the pick is okay but if much else is expected from him I don't see it. I don;t hate the pick becasue I think the draft was suspect.

Jarvis is the only right answer atm. Let's see what Holloway does this then maybe that changes

 

[FlameChampion]

I would of picked Jarvis before and I would probably still pick him now.

Jarvis had a pretty good year last year.

The other thing with Holloway is we dont really know if his hand injury will hamper him a bit. When he says that he doesnt have full mobility of his hand. It still worries me. He has looked good against weak competition though so far.

This is my answer.

I like Holloway a lot and hope he makes the team because I don't think we have 9 forwards better than him, much less 12, but it's the proven quantity over the unknown.

Jarvis had a really nice playoffs, too.

 

[McShogun99]

I was pissed that the Canes took Jarvis right before us. Even today I would still pick Jarvis over Holloway.

 

[fancy dan]

Jarvis should be getting 25-30g this year.

 

[Mr Kot]

Jarvis has shown he can hang around and will improve.

That being said, Holloway plays like a monster. He's the power forward we need if he develops like that.

 

[Stoneman89]

A tad early for a poll on this subject, no?

 

[Donner]

Right now Jarvis because hes actualy done it. But I think both have similar ceilings
