Having Holloway probably would have meant no Coronato getting NHL reps.
Plus, the players would have had to sign the offer sheets, which wouldn't be a guarantee especially if they were already contemplating one from St. Louis at the same time.
Imagine Conroy paying a fee to get our 3rd round pick back just to then lose out on an offer sheet plied to Oilers players. That wouldn't be a good look.
