Both Holloway and
Philip Broberg signed offer sheets with the Blues with the express intention of getting more ice time than was possible in Edmonton. Holloway got what he wanted, but still isn't happy with his agent.
Dylan Holloway reportedly fires agent one year removed from contract expires
According to multiple reports surfacing online, Dylan Holloway has fired his agent Kurt Overhardt, and hired
Connor McDavid's agent Judd Moldaver.
The 23 year old Calgary, Alberta native had a career season in all aspects this season, scoring 23 goals and 63 points in 77 games. He played primarily top six minutes on the blues, but was heavily underpaid at only $2.29M.
The Edmonton Oilers were looking to get Holloway signed to a deal in the $1M range, but at $2.29M on a new team, he was heavily underpaid.
They said in order for this to work, we got to get a second player involved because it's going to be too easy for Edmonton to figure out a way to match. The agent, along with Doug [Armstromg], they loop in Dylan Holloway's agent. It's very creative

Now Dylan Holloway will be up as a restricted free agent again at the end of this season, and after his 66 point season, he'll be looking for a lot more than $2M.
The Oilers have moved past the loss of Holloway and Broberg, but it's clear they lost out on two young quality players. Still, Dylan Holloway isn't satisfied and is looking for a higher pay check - which was just incompatible with the Edmonton Oilers roster this year.
