Should the Flames offer sheet Dylan Holloway?

Should the Flames offer sheet Dylan Holloway?
- Stanley Cup Finals experience
- Calgary kid
- Drafted 14th overall

If he was on the Flames, surely he'd be ranked ahead of a lot of our 'rising stars’. If successful, we'd only have to give up a 2nd rounder. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Absolutely not.

Why? Just to piss off the Oilers and give away assets? You do this and they likely will do the Flames a return favor when it suits them. I don't think Conroy wants to be that a-hole GM.

No dummy, to help our team. The Oilers will do it to us anyway.

That seems unecessary

[All In Good Time]

Not that I'm very impressed with the player anyway, but after reading TheIronMaiden's post about him in the E=NG thread, I'd definitely say no!

Flames need all the help to tank, not to build a half decent mediocre team with players you can get either from draft or from the farm or through other means.

[Funkhouser]

Nope
Not worth starting an arms race, especially when we are going nowhere fast!

[DSIM420]

for a 2nd round pick, Absolutely.

[GreenLantern2814]

I would offer Holloway the same thing as Broberg - low enough for the Oilers to match, but high enough to be an inconvenience.

He's 22 years old

Where's the evidence?

The Oilers have offer-sheeted a total of one (1) player in their history, and that was 17 years ago. He was not a Calgary Flame.

You want to spend $4 million a year or thereabouts on a player who has yet to score 10 points in an NHL season? That's nuts.

[Toonage]

So the Flames, who are expected to be a bottom 10 or worse team are going to hand over a decent pick to their rivals for a player whose talent level (or better) they could just as well draft on their own with that pick, only to watch those same rivals flip that pick for playoff help?

Seems stupid.

[Snuffleupagus]

Have another team offer sheet him for $2.1m X 2yrs costing a 3rd and trade him to us for our 3rd in 2026

You can surely get him for $3M. He's got hands, speed, playoff experience and age 22.

If we weren't rebuilding and the 2nd round pick in compensation wasn't almost definitely a very early 2nd round pick... then maybe?

But at this stage I'd just rather we make our own picks.

Holloway's still unproven anyway.

[Ba'alzamon]

Hard pass. Never understood the appeal, and he hasn't done a single thing since he was drafted to change my mind.
