I feel disappointed. I think you just hope for more than a third liner if you are in the top half of the draft.

Initially, I thought this was a reach, but it seems he was in the 14-22 range, so the Oilers took him on the upper edge of that. There just isn't the upside there that I wish there was.

It really is too bad Askarov and Jarvis went in the few picks before the Oilers. I'd be feeling so much better with either of them, and I imagine the Oilers would have taken both of them before Holloway.

I don't like the pick, but unfortunately, it doesn't really seem like any steal slid through to the 14 spot either.

Hopefully he surprises, but I have my doubts.


Personally I’d have been happy with Guhle at 14 as well. I know he’s a left shot and his numbers don’t look high end, but watching him play the last two years, I see something else. Montreal got a player. PA Head-coach always went with 20 year olds on the PP that thrived in their Mem Cup year. This last season the PP struggled until they moved Guhle up. He scored his first 20 pts in 36 games and then got some prime PP and scored his second 20 points of the season in 26 games.

Jury is out on Holloway. He just feels like a heavier Mark Jankowski. Potential, but a lot of things need to go right. Fringe NHL’er. I would of rather had Conor Zary as well.

I dunno? I think we should’ve traded down.
