Mac Hollowell is a 20-year-old, right-shooting defenseman who is coming off his first season after being drafted in the 4th round by the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is small for a defenseman at 5’10” and 170ish pounds, but not small for the “new age” NHL that Dubas has been leaning hard into for his last two drafts.
Hollowell finished 2nd in the OHL Defenseman of the Year award voting thanks to 24 goals and 77 points in 64 games, and another 11 points in 11 playoff games. He followed that up by being put directly into the Marlies lineup in the playoffs, where he played 9 games and had 1 assist.
