Holloway played 10 minutes to an injured Kane’s 16. I’d like to see the injured no defense player see less ice.

Rightly or wrongly, the mass majority of NHL coaches defer to the vets in the playoffs because they trust them more. So I don't blame Knoblaugh for doing that.
I watched, way, way too many years in the past where the Oilers went way too young and threw their young guys to the wolves thrusting ice time on them they either weren't ready for it or didn't earn. At times in the past, I felt the young players played entitled and didn't play hungry enough or had the desire to push themselves to improve and evolve as a player. They knew they were getting their ice whether they were good or bad. So, I haven't had a problem with what the Oilers have done with Holloway. Keeping him down in the lines when in the NHL and if he wasn't getting enough minutes or showed he wasn't ready, send him down and play the crap out of him in the AHL.
He's a different player than he was early this season and in my opinion, it has to do with his time in the AHL. He's playing hungry. He's playing with confidence, he's playing more controlled rather than just flying around wildly. When he gets a shift, while playing properly, he's looking to make the most of it. He's playing well, when he is on the he's showing the coach he can trust him and he's making the most of his shifts. He's making the coach notice him in a good way. I suspect ice time is coming. He's doing what I expect a young guy to do. It's exciting because I had hopes for him. A big guy that can skate like the wind and can score. I was getting a bit nervous about him and him maybe not being as good as I hoped but since his call up late this year, I am starting to see why they drafted him.
