Prospect Info: Alexander Holtz (Part II)

[Guttersniped]

Newhook does have a couple OK NHL seasons under his belt.

But I'd be interested in a 1st and 2nd for Holtz.

Yeah, a center with 159 GP and 66 points is a very different beast.

Wish he would have been traded to the sharks...

He would be getting NHL minutes and playing with his buddy Eklund

Holtz needs to be on Haula's third line with Palat on wing. Make it work. See if he can work his way into the top six.

I miss my Muk.

Such a good pokemon.

I would assume Holtz would be part of any package that went out the door to secure Gibson or Hellebuyck.

Anaheim should have to pay someone to take Gibson, they aren’t getting a good prospect.

If we trade Holtz for Gibson i will riot

No shot Anaheim gets Holtz for Gibson. That'd be Fitz's worst move by far in his GM tenure.

It wouldn't be, Fitz will not do it. His trades were smart or fair. Gibson even with retention has negative value.

The backups on Anaheim looked to have similar numbers to Gibson. Maybe he started mailing it in at some point but he didn't stand out in any way.

I’d say he gave up some nights. He’d routinely see 40-50 shots a game and lots of breakdowns. I think he’s a decent goalie stuck on a horrible team but at this point I don’t think he’s much of an upgrade on Vitek and his contract is not great even with max retention.

No way for Gibson .. Hellebuyck, sure.

If Holtz didn't go in the Meier trade, I think it's unlikely that Fitz is going to trade him for Gibson.

Still shocked that Grier didn't want Holtz.

Glad he didn't.

If you looked at their prospect pool, winger wasn’t a need (it typically isn’t). They didn’t have any defensemen like Muk (high upside, offense, size). He made a lot of sense for them.

They actually had a pretty big hole at LHD in their system, which they improved even before the draft by getting both Muk and Henry Thrun’s signing rights from Anaheim in February .

Well whatever their reasoning was (valid or not), I'm glad things worked out where we kept Holtz.

We need to see what we have in him.
