Blues ink Holloway to 5-year extension with reported $7.75M AAV
The St. Louis Blues signed forward Dylan Holloway to a five-year contract extension, the team announced Friday.
The deal carries a cap hit of $7.75 million, reports The Athletic's Jeremy Rutherford.
Holloway tallied 22 goals and 51 points in 59 games this season and was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1.
The 24-year-old was exceptional after the Olympic break. Holloway was tied for seventh in NHL scoring with 34 points in 25 contests post-break, and his plus-26 rating in that span paced the league.
The Blues signed Holloway as an RFA from the Oilers in August 2024, sending a third-round pick to Edmonton in compensation.
Holloway immediately broke out with St. Louis, notching 26 goals and 63 points in 77 contests during the 2024-25 campaign. He previously had nine goals and 18 points across 89 contests with Edmonton.
The Oilers drafted Holloway 14th overall in 2020 out of the University of Wisconsin.
