The video of it is just hilarious. At one point, it looks like Holloway's dad is swearing under his breath. Get a good education kid.



And for comparison:

(Not sure how to imbed timestamped videos)

What really funny too is that Sportnet even edited out on their highlight reel.

Yeah I feel bad for the kids who had more subdued reactions from their families. Most of course were elated but you can tell who has the tough inner circles / parents.

For Holloway you just feel bad all around.

Of course SN doesn't show it. But they had a good 20 full seconds of feed from the family after the announcement lol, thats quite the "delay".

Holloway is from Calgary too? Likely Edmonton was the very last place he wanted to play. Probably has a few friends/family on CP too.

That's brutal. Poor kid.

Keep your head up Dylan, in 3 years when you’re a free agent the flames will need a young Centre to anchor 2nd/3rd line

Never mind that there is no delay, there is Zero anticipation or excitement from the family knowing that the Oilers are on the clock. The look is of dread, “please don’t be me, please don’t be me, please don’t be me!”

I’m so sorry Holloway’s. Please finish your 3 years and sign with whoever or force them to trade your rights.

Changing his position to not play with the Oilers. That is some sort of commitment.

I don't understand why you wouldn't just interview poorly with the Oilers before the draft. On purpose. Come across as an uncomfortable weirdo who's not a team player and would rather scavenge for antique pirate collectibles in the bushes behind the arena than practice with teammates.

That's a feature, not a bug for Oiler brass.

I believe in this case, the Oilers would get a 2nd round pick, since Holloway is a 1st round pick.
