Player Discussion Pontus Holmberg

[Commander Clueless]

Elite 3rd line center

Or so we hope if our deadline deals fall through?

He’s been really good lately. Someone in another thread attributed it to playing with Nylander, but when you watch the games that really has nothing to do with it. Better linemates help, but he has been more physical and aggressive with his play. He looks good right now. He’s drawn many penalties for us.

I think it could be better linemates.

He is clearly the 3rd player on that line, so maybe him being able to focus on the defensive end, the forecheck, and just distributing the puck to better players has helped.

Before, I think a lot of his issues were around holding onto the puck too long and trying to make something out of nothing.

He's decent everywhere, but great nowhere, so maybe just playing a simple game will help.

Turning into a good value player. Love to see it
