Dylan Holloway

Last Season

Twenty-two goals and 29 assists in 59 games — 51 points, plus-13, at 18:15 a night with four power-play goals. Twenty-three games missed.

The Finesse Game

Speed first. He is among the quickest forwards in the league in a straight line and he uses it to arrive rather than to carry.

Two hundred and sixteen unblocked attempts, 22 goals, median 30 feet with only 27 per cent from inside twenty and 24 per cent from beyond forty. That is a lot of scoring from middle distance and it works on the strength of the shot.

A hundred and thirty-two points in 225 career games, and fifty-one of them came in fifty-nine games last season.

The Physical Game

Six foot one, 207, and he plays a heavy game for a fast one — he forechecks hard, finishes checks, and does not avoid the interior. Twenty penalty minutes.

The durability is the concern: twenty-three games missed, and it is now three seasons running that he has not played a full one.

The Intangibles

Fifty-two per cent of the expected goals, 70th percentile, and 49.9 per cent of the shot attempts, 56th, across 882 minutes, with the goals level at 29-29.

Fifteen points in his last ten, five of them goals.

He is 24, a fourteenth overall pick who Edmonton gave up on, and St. Louis has now had two seasons of point-a-game production out of him. That was one of the better pieces of business of the decade.
