Nothing special but is an NHLer, a perfectly serviceable 4th liner. 2 way player, not a physical beast or anything but is fairly stocky and competes hard. Like that he can play wing or center. Didn’t play well tonight, but it was 1 game.

If he wasn’t a Leaf he’d still be in the league, could find a spot on plenty of other 4th lines in the NHL. Again, nothing special, but fine. I like that his AAV is $800K, unlike some of our other 4th liners (Kampf $2.4 and Reavo $1.35).

Really bad game tonight. Looked like a step behind the whole way. Not even good defensively. Might be time to sit him for a couple of games.
You kinda look at Holmberg through a judgemental lens cause he's a tweener, but it really looked like he couldn't keep up with nhl'ers tonight, got frustrated, and took a penalty trying to cheat and keep up. Really bad night for him.
