PETER HOLLAND - Center - 28 - $.675MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2019-2020
LAST UPDATED 1/28/19
As a former top prospect, Holland's career has been quite the disappointment thus far. Initially projected as a future top-6 center, Holland has failed to score consistently at the NHL level and establish his place full-time at the game's highest level. He remains a prolific AHL scorer, but his offensive tools are not refined enough to allow him to score in the NHL. His defensive prowess is fine, but not enough for him to be viable as a defensive role player in a bottom-6. He is also not a physical player, so he is restricted from playing on a fourth line where less skilled but more physical players typically carve out NHL careers. At this point, Holland is fine centre depth as an emergency call-up, but it's much preferred that he take on a top-6 role in the AHL to help out the offensive production of his organization's prospects.
