Thankful for offer-sheet opportunity, Blues' Dylan Holloway opted for term on new deal

ST. LOUIS — Two years ago, Dylan Holloway signed an offer sheet and joined the St. Louis Blues as a 22-year-old forward who was unproven in the NHL. Last week, he agreed to terms on a five-year, $38.75 million contract extension ($7.75 million annual average value) as a 24-year-old commodity.Reflecting on the time in between, Holloway had some music lyrics pop into his head.“What did Eminem say? ‘You’ve got one shot, one opportunity,'” he said.Indeed, in the introduction of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Lose Yourself,” the rap star/songwriter says:If you had one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip? Advertisement
