RD Mac Hollowell - Sault Ste Marie Greyhounds, OHL (2018, 118th, TOR)

[Knies iT]

Just realized he has no thread. Going to be a very interesting player to follow over the next few years based on his recent trajectory as an overager. Finished the year as the leading scorer for all defensemen in the OHL with:

GP: 64 | G: 24 | A: 53 | PTS: 77

The Greyhounds ended up getting eliminated by Saginaw, but Hollowell finished post-season at 1PPG with 11 points. He's since been signed to an ELC by the Leafs and has joined the Marlies on an ATO for their playoff push.

His season in review:

• Voted runner-up for OHL defensemen of the year behind Evan Bouchard.
• Voted best offensive defensemen in the OHL western conference.
• Voted 2nd best skater in the OHL western conference.

If this kid develops a little more physicality and adds more muscle, I see potenitally our version of Krug.

He doesn't shy away from the physical stuff, but certainly could use more strength when dealing with power forwards in front of the net

Need to see him with the Marlies in order to know what we have in him.

That's the biggest thing i've noticed in his few games with the Marlies so far. He's not intimidated by the bigger, more aggressive opposition and is willing to take damage to make nice deft plays under pressure. Such an elusive player; makes him very hard to forecheck. Exhibit A:



Looks like he's beaten out Rasanen, Subban and Duszak for the final RHD spot in the playoffs. Will be paired with Rasmus Sandin down the stretch.
