He's twice the size of the kids we normally draft, so it's like having a 2nd rounder!!
Great pick. Welcome aboard kid!

No not at all. This is the Oilers, the bar must be set SUPER low. 3 of their last 10 draft picks have won the hart trophy, one of them swept the NHL awards this year. They've had far more "successful" first round picks than failures. Your bar setting is ridiculous.

Bruce is also one of the best helicopter pilots I've ever had fly for me. Pretty intense dude.
Thinking this will be a good pick.

Thanks for the insight, and welcome to the board! Was actually on the old one for quite some time. Anyways, Bruce was actually drafted by the Canucks.

Hmmm, Left winger &/or center. Just like RNH who they started talks with early. I wonder how close they are with the numbers with Nuge?

I like that his skating is rated as one of his highest qualities. After a certain age, skating isn’t going to be learned. Shooting. Stick Handling. Passing. All can be picked up later (IMO) ... skating is a done deal by 20. Think this might just be a winner.

I like what I heard from one of our other draft choices Carter Savoie when he talked about Holloway. Savoie said Holloway could and did put his team on his back and drag them to wins. Savoie was very impressed by Holloway so that's got to be a good thing!

Thanks for posting that. Great start to my Sunday morning! Wow...that highlite pack is quite the buffet! A little bit of everything. I like how decisive he is. No dusting. Sees pass-makes pass. Sees shot-takes shot. Never know how NCAA is going to translate over the next few years of development, but I really like what I saw there. Very encouraging!

Things are too quiet in Oil country lately!
Is there anything new going on with Holloway? We have not put any expectations on this kid so far, but I'm thinking with his size he could make quite a case for himself to start in the NHL. Wishful thinking? For sure, but why not be optimistic, especially when there is nothing else to talk about.
