Article: Dylan Holloway Is A Cautionary Tale For Liam Ohgren


Recommended Posts

Yes, 100% agree with this article.  I liked the Marcus signing being that it was a team friendly deal, but Marcus is the 13th guy to play when injuries occur.  Anything beyond that is not helping the team long term.  Ohgren appears to be dedicated to his craft and the Wild need some young forwards to inject some vigor into this lineup.

Reports a year ago, McDavid was visibly upset when management allowed Dylan Holloway and Philip Broberg to walk after signing offer sheets with the Blues.  It wasn’t just that the Oilers lost a couple of depth pieces. It was more about their age and their future.  Perhaps that's why McDavid is taking his time contemplating his future in EDM.  He's already given the Oilers everything he has for 10 seasons, why should he continue to trust that management team.

It's similar, but the Wild are in a very different position than the Oilers.  But Ohgren's development, including mistakes and slumps, should be prioritized over a roster spot for JoJo.  In my opinion, seeing some of these mock lineups, I believe Ohgren should be getting third line minutes alongside Yurov before Moose.  Moose, Sturm and Trenin on the fourth would be intriguing.  Ohgren probably isn't going to get 82 games this year, but my expectation would be 40 games to see what he can do and continue his development.

They simply DO NOT TRUST PROSPECTS. Getting drafted by the Wild is a curse for those young guys. It's not exactly like they've been sniffing the cup for the last three years (or ever), get them in there and leave them in there or they will NEVER develop.

Oh, you mean the bigger NA player who is a career +20 who MN coulda taken with their 1st round pick. There should be a series of articles about all the good, large, tough to play against centers MN didn't draft in 2020, who can score 60pts per season. (wink, Lundell got 18pts in 23 playoff games.)

Ogie needs to play a NA-style game. NoJo needs to go into hibernation and can come out again for the 4th of July.
