LW Alexander Holtz - (2020, 7th, NJD)

[McClelland]

Who's a good player comparable for Holtz?

Ovie light!

 

[EK47]

Who's a good player comparable for Holtz?

Laine with less size? Sorry I can't think of a better one.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

Who's a good player comparable for Holtz?

I think Filip Forsberg. Holtz has the higher upside due to his goal scoring potential, but they’re both responsible 200 foot wingers with some slick mitts and good skating.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He reminds me a lot of Brock Boeser.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

He reminds me a lot of Brock Boeser.

I like this comparison. Although I feel Holtz has better hands and creativity than Boeser did at the same age.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Who's a good player comparable for Holtz?

Markus Näslund.

 

[SwedishFire]

Markus Näslund.

Näslund had heck of dangles, skattning and shot in his reportoar. Played in Swedish National team as 18 year old. Thats a high-, maybe a too high praise on Holts.

 

[theslatcher]

Holtz is a little weird, he doesn't really have a set style of play, or you could say it depends on who he's playing with. He has mastered the art of K.I.S.S.(which is why I think he's NHL ready), but when playing with lesser offensive talents like he has in the SHL at times he seems to flip a switch and uses his individual talents a lot more, which you kind of wish he'd always do.

Näslund's first time in the NT was at 19, just some month before he turned 20.

when did you see Boeser play at that age? which event.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

when did you see Boeser play at that age? which event.

I think the question was comparing him to NHL’ers, not to how they compared as draft-eligible players.

Boeser played in the USHL his draft season, and also played at the Hlinka and WJAC. I suspect most people that followed the draft closely that season saw him play.

was asking ConnorMcMullet.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I watched him in his draft+1 year in the NCAA and at the WJC. Boeser played a simpler game than Holtz and in my opinion, wasn't as skilled.

I don't think that's a controversial opinion or anything. Boeser was picked 23rd, Holtz is projected to go top-10. Boeser obviously developed very well, and I'm not saying Holtz will be better than him.

That’s not the same age, that’s 17 vs 19

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

That’s not the same age, that’s 17 vs 19

Either way, I think Holtz is more creative and has better hands.

 

[Saxon]

Glad I'm not the only one that thinks this. I'm very high on Holtz but he seems to not be getting a lot of love on HF.

 

[Prntscrn]

Injured? In the lineup but haven't seen him on the ice since I turned the game on

Exited the game after playing 2-3 shifts, so something happened. But only Djurgården on twitter has mentioned it.

E: looks like it might've been from the hit he recieved at 9:30 into the game. The hit:

 

[theslatcher]

Will be held out of play for a week or so as a security measure.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Who's a good player comparable for Holtz?

Boeser. Would probably take him at 6th.

 

[theslatcher]

Back from injury, playing today on the 3rd line alongside Haga, & Östman.

 

[Frolov 6'3]

Only four players I would take before him.

He has been a scoring machine his whole career so far.

 

[Prntscrn]

 

[theslatcher]

Also got the primary assist on the 4-4 goal.

 

[Johnny Hanson]

I think he can play a game reminiscent of David pastrnak. Deadly shot, very good playmaker and pretty tenacious on the puck.
