It feels like Holloway is being thrown into this roster for the sake of Holloway being on this roster. Why would you put Hyman, who's proven he can play top 6 and with McDavid on the 3rd line
That seems like a lot to pay for a rental Holtby too

Jarnkrok would actually be a very good pickup, same with Holtby if available. MAF?

put jarns on center, put mcleod on the wing, need RH centers

Agreed... Holloway will definitely be broken in on a bottom 6 role before he sees ice time with McDavid or Drai. Put him with Nuge on the 3rd line and hopefully get some favourable match-ups.

As for Holloway, he played the first games in the AHL after a nine-month absence due to injury and based on the impressions of these first games, I can say that in terms of energy and movement he was the best in the Condors, I note these were his debut games at a professional level. Judging by his movement in these games, there was an impression that he was not playing yesterday's junior, but an NHL-level player. Secondly, he earned the first point after an amazing pass through the floor of the site to Hamblin, such a pass can only be given by a skilled hockey player with excellent vision of the site and high dispatching abilities. Thirdly, he superbly controls the puck plus a physically developed player. I consider the rise of Holloway to the main team a matter of the next month. Not necessarily Holloway plays in the top 6, this is just my guess, he will probably play in the third three, but it is clear from the talent levels that this is not a player of the fourth link.
Regarding Hyman, firstly I like the idea of ​​combining the Hyman trio and Nugent-Hopkins in the center, and Yamamoto on the right, all three played each other, all three play a lot of time in the shorthand. And the third three, in my opinion, turned out to be attacking and combinational, and in addition to this, capable of holding and turning off the opponent's best threes from the game. Secondly, Hyman roughly equalizes our top 9 in the third trio, resulting in approximately equal first three links.

MAF is too expensive. Holland said bluntly the first round of the draft for a loan will not give up, I think it's absolutely correct reasoning.

Right-Handed Hyman and Jarnkrok can land on the drop point, and there is a Right-Handed Sceviour in reserve.

Unfortunately, Smith fell apart this year, almost half a season in the injured infirmary. Therefore, most likely we need a safety net in the goalkeeper's line. Provided that Dallas is not in the playoff zone, then Holtby is a good option. He's experienced, he was the go-to goalie in Washington's Stanley Cup playoff win a few years ago. In addition, he was almost a native born on the border of the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. And besides, this season he is in good shape.
