Holland now has 97 points in 63 games (24 goals, 73 assists).
Hughesman has 102 points in 63 games (38 goals, 64 assists).
Shinnimin 117 points in 60 games (52 goals, 65 assists).

Any possible explanations? I just can't believe we gave up Holland with the type of year he is having.
I think he's a decent prospect. But likely still behind Reinhart and Ferland on our depth list.

Holland does have about half the goals his linemates have. I can't tell without watching him whether he's generating offense or a beneficiary of his teammates.

We'll probably have to watch these kids turn pro and see how they turn out. I don't think Holland was one of our top prospects but he was a solid prospect.
