The Edmonton Oilers have struggled all season long, with just five points through the teams fist 12 games, and for what many believed was a Stanley Cup contender, that's simply not good enough.
After struggling to find consistency in their forward group, the Oilers have now sent Evander Kane to the bottom-six, promoting young forward Dylan Holloway to the second line to play alongside Leon Draisaitl and Warren Foegle.
In 11 games this season, Holloway, who has been thrown throughout the lineup with several different linemates has tallied exactly 0 points, but now he's been paired with the team's second biggest star, giving him a chance to show just what he's made of.
While many have been quick to point out the struggles of the Oilers goaltending tandem and their blue line, but the offense has not been itself either, and with this move, Holloway and Jay Woodcroft are hoping for a major impact.
The pressure is now on the entire team to begin performing or else the season may slip away, and while it may be tough to put so much pressure on a young kid, he's shown promise, and now is his biggest opportunity to step up and prove he belongs in the top-six.
