They are dropping like flies from the college ranks to sign pro deals, and center Dylan Holloway(36), Edmonton Oilers‘ 1st round pick in 2020 (#14 overall) inks his 3-year contract to join the team immediately.
He could show up in the main camp on the taxi squad, especially considering the University Of Wisconsin Badgers‘ sophomore year he’s coming off, scoring all new bests 11 goals, 24 assists and 35 points in 23 NCAA games.
He may be better off reassigned to affiliate Bakersfield Condors, where at the very least he’ll be involved.
At 6’1″ 203 lbs. he’s a bit of a towering presence, who’s always managed to affect the scoresheet through a pair of campaigns with Okotoks Oilers of the AJHL for the Calgary native.
It’s going to be exciting watching this still super young 19-year old get started.
He gets a 1st NHL appearance in a deciding playoff game and despite on being on ice for 7 shifts, 3:27, he did dish out a hit and left the loss with a +1 rating.
No doubt, he’s a player that will get more looks.
