Enjoy Holtz, I hope he pans out. He was really mishandled here. Hopefully he figures it out and gets in a better environment.
What make you say that, Adin Hill is the only goalie that isn’t waiver exempt.Looks like Vegas is going with a three goalie system again.
Crazy they gave away Holtz and Marino for spare parts. Holtz was their big pick and only had one full year up. Vegas fleeced them on this.
He'll really really fit in here thenEnjoy Holtz, I hope he pans out. He was really mishandled here. Hopefully he figures it out and gets in a better environment.
Nobody knows what really goes on behind the scenes. If Thompson for whatever reason wanted out then it is better to let him go. We went through that before with Fleury grousing about having to share time with Lehner. While Team McCrimmon isn't perfect, they've made the right moves far more often than not so I'm willing to trust their decisions for a while longer.Which makes the Thompson trade even dumber IMO. Should have given LT the reigns. Moved the more injury prone Hill and signed whatever backup they're planning on. LT-____-Schmid plus an extra 4 million to spend up front would be better for the team.

One bad year and he's no longer the goalie of the future?
Oh man, you're going to really lose your shit when McCrimmon trades away Hertl this summer.Both sides have said today LT requested the trade because he feels he's a #1 and wouldn't get that chance in Vegas. He said that's all it was so I'm left to assume if they moved Hill he'd have been fine staying.
And I'm not just going to blindly trust the guys that just in the past few months have drafted Connelly and traded a 2nd+ for Mantha.

Month old gravy doesn't dump out very fastCotter is a very hard-working lunch-pail player who occasionally will make an amazing scoring move or shot and is well worth his contract. The downside is that he's got a slightly deficient hockey IQ, probably from not being developed as an NHL-likely player until he was. Hate to lose him, you got a good one.
If Holtz doesn't work out, McCrimmon will dump him faster than month-old gravy. Schmid seems to be the real exchange here with Logan Thompson leaving and Vegas is very good at turning goalies around.
Holtz definitely wasn't untouchable for markstrom. He was the guy initially involved last year at the deadline if you believe the reports.Holtz was untouchable for Markstrom, but Cotter and 3rd LMAO. Great move by Vegas. Holtz needed out of that place and Schmid has a chance to be at least a solid/above average goalie.
Didn’t Jersey take Holtz over Rossi? Yikes, yikes, yikes.
A late 2nd, at least.If the Devils put Holtz on the block what do people honestly think current day he would be worth ? I'm not a huge fan of this trade but no team is forking over a 1st round pick for him or even a 2nd. Maybe if it was a team like the Sharks to try to get a high end player on the cheap with an abundance of draft picks to trade away.
There is a reason that San Jose and Calgary passed on him. They would rather take a gamble on a draft pick than take in Holtz.
he played 82 nhl games this seasonterrible deal for NJ but Holtz was never going to get more than 10/game with NJ anyway
10 minutes per gamehe played 82 nhl games this season
Doesn't want tough questions only time they got them was about the mishandling of HoltzWhere is Tom Fitzgerald to explain the reason the Devils made the moves they made today/tonight?
Going on line you can find press conferences from most of the other teams in the league.
Devils are on radio silence.
