When evaluating Oiler players, you have to consider the fact that their star players play nearly 30 minutes per game. Their other forwards get very little ice time.
Some forwards, like Foegele and Gagner, were surprisingly productive with their little ice time. Both players have more than 2 points per 60 minutes played.
But Holloway only had 1.250 points per 60 minutes played. This is comparable to that of Troy Stecher and below that of Ekholm. On the Flames, this would be comparable to Duehr and Solovyov. However, Holloway may be getting a lot of defensive zone starts. The quality of the line mates matters as well.
Sometimes, production is lower because players are buried. But that doesn't seem to be the case for Holloway.
