Just imagine Palat-Haula-Holtz or Palat-Mercer-Holtz line if Holtz finally can swim through the NHL game. Don`t see any problem with it.
If I had a choice I’d keep Zetterlund over Holtz
The Devils have put together a team like that. They do not think in terms of a top 6 and bottom 6. Yes, the third line doesn't get to play with Hughes or Hischier, it doesn't mean they don't expect that line to contribute
Anyway this isn't trade talk so I'm stopping here.
They arent good defensively either
Save the advanced stats, everyone knows Jacks forecheck and takeaways run his defensive metrics, no he isnt good in his own zone and neither is Bratt.
So yes a Holtz Bratt Hughes line would be caved hard in the regular season let alone playoffs where theyd never win a board battle

I think we need to brace ourself for zetterlund being gone in no matter what package they offer sadly
Very odd to scratch him last night
Sure is weird for a guy with 30 posts to somehow be well-versed in the metaspeak of hockey message boards and somehow have a strong opinion on this. I guess it must be someone who found out about HFboards in 2023. Hail, fellow traveler.
Holtz's deficiencies are being overblown. He's not a terrible skater, his hands and playmaking are underrated skills. You don't have the AHL season he did at 19 if you're not very very good. Does he have the IQ to make the most of his skillset at the highest level? I don't know. But let's not act like he still isn't a valuable prospect.
edit: on the other hand, I understand SJ being cool on him. He'd be a much bigger trade chip if he was over a PPG in Utica again this season.

Ya, basically no difference between Boq/Mcleod, and Hughes/Nico.
People read something some stat guy wrote years ago and forever hold onto it as an undeniable truth.

No, I'm not serious.
Possession IS defense and only neanderthals claim otherwise.
If you have the puck, they can't score. I don't care if they can't win a board battle in their own zone (which isn't even true, fwiw), because they're so good at getting the puck and keeping the puck in the offensive and neutral zones.

that’s absurd because jack is a $10-12m player on an $8m deal - you have to pay more than him to get proven wingers. i hope that’s not the end all be all because there’s no way to sign meier or bratt at $8m

its sh1t, I don`t believe. No one from other management said something like that. Only some twitter masters\influencers\writers etc. It`s faking narrative
There is already a guy on the team that make more than Jack!
Just checking back in, wanted to see if anyone took your throne lately as the team boards know it all.
Now get back to reminding us how Nico-Jack arent a top-6 and Boqvist is our true third top-9 center
I mean, shit, even Devils Dominion wouldnt praise the Panthers for running a top-9 lineup if their third line had a single 40pt forward and Jesper Boqvist as center. Thats some next level cheerleading

It's most likely BS. We offered more than 8 to Gaudreau and were in on Tkachuk last off-season.
