Fresh off signing a five-year, $38.75 million contract extension with the St. Louis Blues, Dylan Holloway is among the highest-paid former Wisconsin Badgers men’s hockey players.
To no surprise, Montreal Canadiens’ Cole Caufield leads the way with his $7.85 million AAV, but Holloway isn’t too far behind at $7.75M.
The Blues weren’t too stellar this year at 37-33-12, which was good for fifth in the Central Division. That said, Holloway is a key piece to their puzzle as they look to get back in the Stanley Cup mix.
Fellow former Badger, K’Andre Miller, is the third-highest-paid alumn with an AAV of $7.5M.
Holloway, 24, was drafted No. 14 overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2020. In his freshman year with the Badgers, he was named Dr. Joseph Coyne-Joe Pavelski Most Consistent Player. When it comes to notable Badgers alumni, Pavelski is the best company to be in.
The Calgary, AB, native followed up his freshman season with a sophomore campaign where he was a top 10 finalist for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. Holloway was also named First-Team All-Big Ten and was a Hockey Commissioners’ Association National Player of the Month.
