Detroit needs more LHD like a we need a hot poker in the eye. Pass.

2 year in the future

Need them even less then...

This is the wrong approach. Trade the kids and win now. The kids aren’t winning is anything.

by 24-25 mcleod will be a veteran.

It is also a necessity that edmonton keeps low ost contracts to stay under the cap.

I sure hope Holloway and Broberg earn those contracts, but they won't ever get that playing 3rd line and 3rd pair.

As for Holloway that is what your typical young offensive player gets IE Yamamoto, JP, Jake debrusk.

JP and Yamamoto both signed $1.125M deals after their ELC.

DeBrusk scored 62 goals and 130 points on his ELC prior to getting his $3.6M x 2 contract. Holloway isn't close.

It would be amazing if he broke out next year and earned that contract, but the odds of that happening from the McLeod line are very slim indeed.
