Value of: Turcotte vs Holtz

[Kurrilino]

Hey Devils guys,

Would you be open to exachange blue chip prospects?

The Kings need Wingers more than centers and Devils really need another center.
Thoughts?

You do know a centre can also play wing right? In fact most young centres start their career at wing

 

[bsu]

I have them both ranked pretty similar. Depends what type of player you need. I'd probably take Holtz because the Ducks need shooters desperately but it could go either way.

 

[John Pedro]

Devils have three young centers (Hughes, Hischier and Mercer) while they can barely ice two decent top6 wingers. Holtz is exacly what Devils need going forward.

Do they? I'm not a Devils fan, so correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they have Hughes, Hischier and Mercer as their centers? All three of those guys are under 23, I'm not sure they need to get another highly rated center prospect.

Yeah, I have no dog in this fight and I don't see why the Devils would be interested in moving Holtz for anything at this time. He's been dynamite in Utica games I've seen him in and was eye-catching in the lead up to the draft. Just keep him.

Devils desperately needs wingers, and Turcotte is another young center who isn’t proggressing as expected which Devils already have two of in Hischier and Hughes.

Kings look kinda weak on the wings tho tbh, so maybe they could look elsewhere.

And Mercer who I think will eventually be the 2C over Nico . Unless they move Mercer to wing as they literally have one decent scoring winger in Bratt . Devils need scoring shoot first wingers in a massive way so no way can I see them move Holtz unless it’s for an already established scoring winger .

turcotte lost a lot of his sizzle when he left college early and got split from Caufield

Yes i am aware.
But playmaking or goal scoring is a mentality you can't teach.
We have enough playmaking, i am looking for more shot first before passing mentality

If that is the case, fair enough.

Looks like the Kings and Devils have similar needs then

Zadina?

 

[57special]

Wild can offer players like Greenway on the low end and Fiala on the high end for top 6 C's or C prospects. Also have some nice LHD(Peart, ROR, Hunt) and LW(Beckman, who is close to NHL ready...next year for sure)prospects.

 

[McJedi]

Zadina?

Turcotte for Zadina is an interesting proposal. Make that a thread and see where it goes.

As others have said we really don’t need centers at all. We need wingers that can score, which Holtz (hopefully) projects to be.

 

[Kurrilino]

Zadina?

While i still think he can be a great player and is far away from being a bust, i would like him to show a little bit more.
For any reason i don't understand, his development is going backwards.
He started with 8 goals in 26 games, then 6 and now he has 4.
I would like to give up Turcotte for someone with more potential or more proven.

Would Madden be of interest for Zadina?

Just started a thread on it, but no, I don't think Madden would work for Zadina.

Wouldn't touch this if I'm NJ. Also, if Hughes is healthy, I think they are ok at C. Feel like they could use a sniper like Holtz rather than deal him.

It will go to nowhere from Kings point of view.

I’m curious to know why everyone is
ass-suming Turcotte hasn’t developed? Have any of you done anything other than stat watch? People that have seen him regularly on TV or in person will tell you the kid is a game changer, a Mike Richards/Jonathan Toews type. The only guys out producing him in the AHL are AAAA type and the reigning AHL MVP. So again, WTF you guys talking about?

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Hughes
Hischier

how the hell NJ need another center

Guess some folks didn’t do their research or follow Alex Turcotte.

Turcotte came out of USNTDP 2019 draft and dealt with short covy season in 1 NCAA season and his 1st AHL season (20-21)and is in his 2nd AHL season 18 games this season thus far.

Los Angeles has many center prospects so if Alex doesn’t work out as a center he could easily move to the wing.

Turcotte has the playmaking and defensive responsibilities to be an NHL player but some folks don’t understand the reason why Turcotte is in the AHL.

Alex is just filling out his game while Los Angeles wasn’t expected to compete for the cup anyway this season. Blake will be making moves at the deadline and in the offseason and I fully expect Turcotte to compete for a NHL roster spot next season.

Hischier

New Jersey doesn’t need another center and is fine with Hughes, Hischier, Mercer and McLeod up the middle with Boqvist and Sharangovich as fill ins when injury occurs.

Holtz should keep on getting his development with Utica this season as it would be good for Holtz’s game to get adjusted to the North American game.

Holtz could be a late season recall option if injuries occur or when the Devils drop further out of the playoff race.

Thank you! You’re a gentlemen and a scholar

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I would actually do this deal and move Turcotte or Mercer to the wing.
