My brother Adam Larsson was drafted nearly 15 years ago and was traded for a future league MVP. Why are we even talking about him?
Confirmed with Link: Schmid and Holtz traded to VGK for Paul Cotter and 2025 3rd rounder

If someone wants to give me odds I might take Cotter to score more goals moving forward over his career than Holtz. Haha

So we basically gave Akira up to become a FA.
And the only one Vegas wanted was Holtz?
If he's a FA, might as well bring him back, right? lol

I can already see the Tweets/article titles when he gets waived later in the season and ends up back in Vegas...

On Schmid, yeah I know. That is what I said. I am partial to Schmid but they were going to have an AHL glut and had to move someone. It is what it is.
There was never a point to playing Holtz on the 4th line and then publicly dressing him down. Send him back to the AHL and use him in a trade package then. They invested a 7th overall pick on this kid and as soon as he comes to NA they pretty much show no belief in him and sewer his value. It's bad asset management.
Cotter will be a fine player. But the handling of Holtz was dumb and they wasted an asset. And I really was never high on Holtz to begin with!

You just know they will play Welcome Back after he scores at the Rock with him photoshopper as Kotter, that'll be his little meme that some of the other players have and about 15% of the people in attendance will get the reference.
He never showed much reason to have belief in him. I don't know that I have seen a putative scoreline player be worse than Holtz in 22-23. That said, he should've been sent to the minors earlier that year, but keeping a high pick in the minors does not somehow maintain their value. Everybody knows that a 7th overall in the minors in their D+3 is not a great sign.
Some of you on this ridiculously long thread about a minor trade nailed it for me - it's not about the trade, it's about Holtz simply not living up to the hype and expectation of where he was drafted and the scouting reports. I also love Seth Jarvis and wish he was here, but he wasn't considered a top 10 player so it was unlikely he was anywhere BPA on the Devils (or anyone's) list in that draft position.
It's just disappointment because we really could have used a hit there - we need a winger already, and now we need two.

Does this make us all Sweathogs?
