LW Alexander Holtz - (2020, 7th, NJD)

[ZEBROA]

Ovechkin? Let's put some breaks the hype train, so far he's only shown he'll be a rich man's Stamkos.

Considering how poor Sweden is in realy good snipers a Stamkos seems fine too.

 

[Iceman]

From the inside sources i got holtz is the real deal

Think so too.

We do not have that impact player on offense on the national team, it would be a much needed addition if he keeps up this trajectory. Backstrom is good but he is a playmaker and is getting older. Forsberg’s offensive level is somewhat limited.

 

[JimboA]

Standing next to Rakell who's 6' 2" - I'd say Holtz is about 6' 1" now?

So Holtz has worked with this personal trainer for about five years already. Andreas Öhgren is a PT who works with many Swedish NHLers, and with non-Swedes like JvR, Ristolainen and John Carlson sometimes. I guess you can't blame Holtz for not being dedicated enough, I have only heard good things about his attitude.

Alexis Lafreniere

 

[izzy]

if that crop was drafted rn lafreniere goes first. who knows how they develop over the next 2 seasons

 

[Appleyard]

Lafreniere.

But Holtz has been doing some pretty amazing things.

2016-17: Highest u-18 Allsvenskan PPG ever for u-15.
2017-18: Highest u-18 Allsvenskan PPG ever for u-16, Highest u-18 Elit PPG ever for u-16, 3rd highest u-20 SuperElit PPG ever for u-16.

Will be interesting to see how he progresses over the next 2 years.

Yes I am.

Remains to be seen. He's a winger, after all. I'd bet against it at this point in time.

Could be a prospect such as Laine, although to this point in their careers I guess he's slightly behind. They still share tons of similarities.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Lafreniere and Holtz are like McDavid and Eichel in 2015. Both are gonna be amazing players.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Is it weird I didn't even know who he was until he followed on insta haha?

 

[VictorLustig]

Scored 9 goals in 4 games this summer. He's got some things to work on but boy can he finish.

 

[grentthealien]

As I always like to ask what current or former NHL players does he remind you guys of? From the video I’ve watched of him and reading the comments I’m getting the impression that he has the style of a goalscorer.

Holy shit holtz. I think he has 1st overall potential

 

[DDRhockey]

2 points from holtz vs Finland today. 2 goals for Raymond.

[Sens of Anarchy]

He neglects to mention 2020 Eligible Lucas Raymond scored the 2 goals Holtz was in on

Holtz simply has higher hype, plus he assisted both the goals.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Holy **** holtz. I think he has 1st overall potential

He certainly does. Let’s hope he keeps it up as he goes up against tougher competition leading up to the draft. Personally I think his only chance is if he plays in the SHL for his draft year. But that’s not until 2 years.

 

[Henkka]

delete.

double post

 

[Henkka]

Ok.

Seems that Sweden is gonna have their own Patrik Laine.

 

[Killerjas]

Holy **** holtz. I think he has 1st overall potential

Lafreniere wants a word...

Definitely a goalscorer, but can make plays too. Not as much of a long-range threat as Ovechkin or Laine in terms of playing style and weapons, attacks the net and has incredible knack for finding net from scoring areas. Shot in stride off the wing, attack the net and find a hole or simply garbage goals, but all he does is score without the fancy pancy all over the ice. Lethal.
