The Edmonton Oilers have two of the greatest offensive talents in the NHL right now, but they also have one of the most exciting young forwards in college. When the Oilers made their selection with the 14th overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, they opted to take a 19-year-old Alberta native who had already completed his freshman year with the University of Wisconsin.
Dylan Holloway took a route that is becoming increasingly popular among prospects in the Canadian junior system, playing for the Okotok Oilers of the AJHL – the level below major juniors, which allowed him to head to college; something not permitted to WHL players.
