82 goals in preseason is the most impressive thing I've ever heard.

You have to think of the trade in terms of time frames. It's no longer learning time in NJ unless you're providing immediate value a la Luke, Nemec and Casey.
Holtz needs time and it's unclear what he really is. The Devils had a similar sort of player in Zacha with respect to how back and forth his progress was. He got all the time in the world to develop because of the general state of the team, but today would have gotten the axe much faster.
It's pretty clear that Cotter brings some speed, some hitting and has hands good enough to get you a zone exit with consistency. That's all you need for a team that was running AHLers with regularity in the same slot last season.

I'm not sure he had any goals in the preseason, tbh. Has 2 goals so far this year in the regular season though.

Holz and Schmid for the runaway Richard leader? Good trade!

Maybe Vegas should reacquire Paul so they can “Welcome Back Cotter”.

I don't think he's on pace for anything right now. Vegas hasn't started the regular season yet

If holtz can stick with hertl / dorofeyev, he's going to pick up some points, that's for sure. But I feel like that could be combustible

You’re really not tracking the conversation or context well in here.

How has Holtz looked for VGK so far? I thought he still had a chance to be very good. Still liked the trade for the Devils though...
