The one thing that sticks out to me is St. Croix recommended that Chevy pick this kid. He found us Connor Hellebuyck when nobody else really knew who he was. This kid was also unranked. Here's hoping he becomes a decent goaltender.
From what I gathered, it was more our Swedish scout (Kjell Dahlin I think) who liked what he saw in Holm, so they sent a few scouts over to check him out, and then had St. Croix watch videos of him. St. Croix seemed to have final say, but our Swedish scout found Holm.
One thing i noticed is he sure is good at moving the puck!
Berdin loves to play the puck, too.
Well, at least Holm bothered to show up for dev camp. Just sayin'...
Berdin is injured...
So is Poolman. He still came. I have to think there is more to dev camp than the on ice portion.

It's a lot easier to come to Winnipeg from Grand Forks than it is from Russia.
That said. I wish we knew what his injury is. He posted pictures on instagram of him and his girlfriend and another one of him in a wetsuit around draft day/day dev camp started.
Holm signed with the Jets in June, and a three year 2-wat deal. Judging by his stats last year, he performed well in the Swedish League. The 21 year old, 6'4 goalie certainly has the size to make an impact.
Hope they have high door frames for him, too....They have high hopes for Holm
They have high hopes for Holm
Good to hear. I like the idea of having a steady supply of later round goaltending picks in the pipe line.
