No. 3 Peter Holland

1. Peter Holland, I wrote a long report about Peter Holland after the draft, I think he has big time upside that a lot of people don’t see due to the system he plays in. He’s a big kid that can skate, is defensively responsible and has an excellent wrist shot, with good playmaking abilities.

People out there will question his drive and character but let’s make one thing clear, Character has been a big deal to the ducks the last several years, if he impressed them in his interviews, well that’s good enough for me. Ryan Getzlaf and Bobby Ryan both had their drive and character questioned, and now they are the anchors of the teams offensive future along with Corey Perry.

Holland just has a ton of talent, that’s why the ducks took him where they did he could be the guy that compliments Ryan Getzlaf as the teams number 2 center in the distant future. Holland will finish out his junior career this season, but I look forward to how he performs in his first pro camp this fall. Being on the ice with the talent the ducks have could really motivate this guy to steal a roster spot next year, though the ducks are known for being patient with their players.
