One of the biggest wild cards IMO for the upcoming season for the
@EdmontonOilers
will be Dylan Holloway.
With his speed, skill and physicalityto me he is at minimum a top-9 forward
Butcan he work himself into the mix as a potential option as a top-6 FWD?
During this season, Bob Stauffer, a commentator for the Edmonton Oilers, believes Holloway to be the team's wildcard. Stauffer believes he has a ceiling of the top 6, but at the moment his play has placed him in the top 9.
For the Edmonton Oilers, Holloway scored 3 goals and contributed 9 points in 51 games.
With Holloway's skill set, he can easily transition up and down the lineup.
Given Holloway's production and great two-way style of play, he could find himself moving up a line with how the team is currently structured.
However, all of that depends on his performance on the ice.
