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.

Personally I look at it as Ramo for Holland. I think Ramo has more up size and a much higher chance of playing in the NHL.
Irving has almost worked himself into the top 10 among goalie prospects with the goalie guild. Karlsson jumps around a bit in the low 20's. Its tough to find much on Ramo but one quote the goalie guild had followed the Cammalleri trade:

Calgary now has a hidden gem in Karri Ramo, and although he could play one more year in the KHL, it does raise questions about Miikka Kiprusoff’s future.

We have a bunch of Holland type prospects and players. We were light in goalie prospects. The addition of Ramo helps solidify that position giving us 3 NHL ready prospects. More bullets, better chance of hitting something.
