Gonna repeat myself here. I saw Ty Emberson play 50 times between Wisconsin and Tuscon in the AHL. His skills match the Oil. His 5v5 pts/60 would have placed him 3rd on Oilers D behind 2/14. He also averaged 3.7 shots/g. 2,14 and 25 were over 6 shots/g. Analytical trade IMO

My last 2 cents on Holloway. These are SOME of his traits scouts acknowledge: 1. He’s NHL fast; 2. He’s physical; 3. He’s big; 4. He’s a forechecking demon; 5. He’s a 200 foot player; 6. He’s greasy; and 7. He’s very confident. Do you think he’s a fit for this series?

Offer sheet terms by #stlblues : Philip Broberg: 2 years x $4,580,917 Dylan Holloway: 2 years x $2,290,457 Compensation due is a third-round pick for Holloway and a second-round pick for Broberg. One dollar more on AAV for each player would have bumped up compensation.
