That's not accurate. Both players are on their ELCs, and entry-level performance bonuses are much harder to earn than veteran bonuses. You can't just get your bonuses by showing up for a few games, you have to actually do something.
There are a variety of categories to qualify for. Some are basic counting stats like a minimum of 20 goals scored. Others are team ranking, like top 3 in +/- among all forwards on the team with a minimum of 42 games played. Also, a player can only earn a quarter of his potential bonuses in any one category. So, you have to perform in 4 different categories to maximize your bonuses.
This page has a breakdown of the various categories:

At this point, it seems highly unlikely that Holloway or Broberg will achieve the minimums for any of the categories to earn any performance bonuses.
