“I’ve talked to [head coach Dave] Tippett last 10 days about numbers,” Holland said. “We’ll for sure carry 10 defencemen and the goalies are unlimited, so we’re working off a 28-skater list. We’ve talked to the league about Philip Broberg. He’s a [drafted] and signed player, and certainly a player we would like to invite for Phase 3 [full training camp].
While Holland could be complaining about the fact his team was second in the Pacific and fourth in the West — but dropped into fifth place behind Dallas when the NHL decided to use points percentage — he wasn’t too upset about having to take part in the play-in round. All in all, it’s been a pretty good season in Edmonton. Now, presumably, we’ll all get to see how it ends.
