Nice job,
Couple of things,
1 can’t see Montreal taking amirov based on the fact that Romanov was a pain to get out of Russia and that amirov doesn’t have a stand out ability which is something that Montreal likes.
2 is I can’t see Edmonton taking Holloway as they need a legit top line winger to play with mcdavid
Quoting: csick
but Holloway can play LW and he is the type of guy they need in the playoffs. Brady Tkachuk lite

Yes every one need a player like that but Edmonton biggest need is a player capable of putting up good numbers ex 60+ points which I am not sure Holloway can do. They already have kassian and those players don’t cost much to sign or trade for. I’m a fan of Holloway but not really for Edmonton
Dylan Holloway is EXACTLY the type of player that Edmonton should get to play with McDavid. He's a Pat Maroon with elite skating - a prototypical power forward. Will he score 60+ annually? I don't know, but he'll dig a lot of pucks out of the corners for McDavid.
Kassian isn't quite the same type of player as he doesn't have the puck-handling ability and he's inconsistent. Even still, Kassian (while playing just 57% of the time with McDavid) has as many 5v5 goals in the past 2 seasons as Malkin, Barzal, Giroux, Wheeler, Dadonov, Miller, Forsberg, Hertl and several other big names. Most people would JUMP at the chance to add a guy like Filip Forsberg to McDavid's wing, and I think that is Holloway's upside. He's more skilled than his point totals last year suggest.
