GDT: Wings @ Devils - Season Finale - 7:00 PM - MSG+

[Captain3rdLine]

Just tuned in a few minutes ago. Zetterlund looks good.

 

[Devs3cups]

Silky mitts in the crease.

 

[mdj12784]

We may have lost out on Chara years ago, but we finally found our own BIG Z!

 

[VoidCreature]

Could Zetterlund be a top six forward? He looks really good.

 

[Devs3cups]

Super happy with Dawson this season. He's hit a wall to end the year, but overall, I'm satisfied. A real solid player is developing.

 

[SKNJD9]

Could Zetterlund be a top six forward? He looks really good.

Maybe, but what he can do is take the Vesey role for sure next season

 

[Billdo]

This scratching needs to serve as a wake up call for Smith that next year he absolutely needs to be better or he won't be starting.

 

[Hockey Sports Fan]

Zetterlund may be much more than a 3rd line guy...

There’s gonna be a ton of competition for spots on the wing next year. Even if he ends up on the third or fourth line, I’m already excited to see what he can bring to the team next season.

Have MERCY

been waiting for the bus all day

 

[FinnishDevil]

Mercers great season really gets lost in this rookie class.

 

[Hisch13r]

I'd love to have access to puck touch and puck possession stats because I feel like Holtz has to touch the puck and have the puck on his stick possibly the least of anyone on the team this year outside of like Geertsen

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Zetterlund is going to staple himself onto the bottom-6 and never look back. Guy just has a motor and nice hands.

 

[Devs3cups]

Holtz almost had Rango there, good awareness. Nice defensive play by DET.

Would I be mistaken if I said you didn't like the Holtz pick back in 2020?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Holtz is too slow.

Easy for me to say but would have been better for him to skyhook that up instead of trying to thread it

 

[Hisch13r]

I wanted Rossi. Thought Holtz was fine.

 

[TheUnseenHand]

Holtz will be fine. What needs to be understood is he simply is never going to drive play. He needs someone to get him the puck is really all it comes down to.

 

[Hollywood Nosebleed]

This scratching needs to serve as a wake up call for Smith that next year he absolutely needs to be better or he won't be starting.

Had no idea he wasn't playing. Thought maybe he was playing ok since I didn't notice him.

 

[Hisch13r]

Literally everyone understands that. I agree he'll eventually be fine. Right now he's not even a competent passenger. He's just bad.

 

[Mgd31]

Jesus Christ Jack, get some sun man.

Yea he needs to be better

 

[FinnishDevil]

Guys like Z shouldnt be promised jobs next year. Gonna be 4-6 forward spots up for grabs depending on trades and free agency. Battle it out and take someones job. I bet he will with his motor and skill.

 

[Devs3cups]

Holtz will be fine. What needs to be understood is he simply is never going to drive play. He needs someone to get him the puck is really all it comes down to.

This is basically how I see it as well. That never was his scouting report. I'm encouraged with his skating/positioning improvements since the start of the year and he'll continue to improve. From what we've heard from Dineen, he knows what he has to work on and has good work ethic. Here's to hope he keeps on training with Bratt's skating coach hehe!

He is bad right now. I’m not crazy worried yet but his skating is giving me reason to be concerned. It comes down to more than just someone getting him the puck there’s a lot more to the game than that and right now his skating isn’t good enough. That’s not an easy thing to improve drastically but he’s pretty young still and could get stronger and faster over the next couple years. He needs to.
