Holloway signed for 5 years

[Harry York 37]

He will be worth every penny of it.

His heart is as big as anyone else on the team.
His skill is second only to Thomas and Snuggerud... but not by very much.

This is a great day for Blues fans.

His best is YET to come.

[LGB73]

The cap hit is the same regardless of what he makes in any given year. Players want front loaded payments because a dollar today is worth more than dollar four years from now

If he's healthy he scores 28-35 a season with Thomas or another good C.

[Frivolousz50]

This is an incredible deal.

This guy is going to be a PPG player for us for the duration of the contract.

Holloway has 40 goal 100 pt potential playing with Thomas and Snuggurud.


I like Pavel Buchnevich and he has been great for us. But oh lord his contract is an albatross.

If he was going to produce at his peak for the next 5 years it would be fine. But that's not going to happen. We will be lucky if he puts up 20G 50P a year the next 3 years while being paid to be a 27G 70P guy for the next 5 years.

Between him and Kyrou that's 16 million yearly...90 million total the next 5 years.


We finally got rid of Schenns albatross contract and his was only 6 5 million.

I just do not understand the Pavel Buchnevich contact on any level.

He should have been offered 6 years for 40 million at the most or you trade him or let him walk.

In the NHL almost ZERO players put up 90-100% of their peak production between ages 31-36.

Anyways if we can trade Kyrous brain and attitude for Ryan O'REILLYs that would make it all good.

Otherwise by the end of next season we really need to have moved 1 of those guys if we have any plans on adding two more high end talents through trade or FA.

I suppose we don't really have any young players up for huge raises now. And the cap is sky rocketing so we are in a good spot to not blown 10 million a year on a FA that will end up being a prime Pavel Buchnevich. But at the same time we need to find two more elite or near elite difference makers and we have the cap space for it.

[ShakeyWalton]

If Holloway misses 10 games a year as a PPG player, it’s still a great contract. I love the deal for both him and the team.

You had 5 points in 61 games Joe Veleno ahead of Robert Thomas.. no one on this forum could have a worse take than that.. stop questioning anyone you just haven't earned it.

I would agree that’s shooting too high, especially considering Snuggs will be piling up big numbers too. There won’t be enough to go around unless that’s a top two NHL first line. I see Holloway as playing 70-75 games with 30 and 40 type numbers. And that would be fantastic obviously.

when is the last time the Blues signed A 70 point UFA?

[zuck698]

Great deal for both sides imo.

[bluetunehead]

I'm totally stoked for the Holloway deal. Him and Broberg both are turning out to be exactly what we all hoped for.

Am I the only one who finds Holloways deal weird?
Its at its smallest when he's in his prime. Just seems like the structure is strange. Anybody got an explanation?

Only thing I can think of is they want to pay him big now so they have room for all these kids contracts coming up later?

Could be a variety of reasons. Player wants more up front, particularly with no bonus payments. Ownership wants to get ahead of other big contracts down the road. Easier to trade if it goes south since he’ll be making less in real dollars at the end of the deal, etc.

[esp31]

Terrifying to think how much further away the Blues would be if those 2 offer sheets hadn’t have panned out. Edmonton’s loss is our gain!

We still don’t know what we have in either player.

Maybe you don't, but I do.
