Patrick Holland, who was obtained in the trade that sent Mike Cammalleri to Calgary, was a big hit with the media at Day 2 of the Canadiens development camp in Brossard.
Holland, who is from Lethbridge played for Carey Price’s old team, Tri-City, in the Western Hockey League.
Holland is smart, articulate, speaks a smattering of French … and had 84 assists this season.
We love him already
