Today the Maple Leafs announced another loan of a player, presumably a short-term loan until training camp begins.
Mac Hollowell, 22, is a right-shooting defender drafted by the Leafs out of the Soo Greyhounds in 2018 in the fourth round. He is about to enter the second year of his ELC when the new season begins.
The subject of a lot of hype based on his last years’ OHL points, he split his first pro season between the Marlies (12 points in 34 games) and the Newfoundland Growlers of the ECHL (13 points in 19 games).
A loan to the Mestis in Finland puts him in the “farm team” league below the Liiga.
