Holmstrom is probably too high in terms of offensive potential but it could be he's just a big guy filling in and a late bloomer compared to his draft peers.

Isn't he also really close birthday wise to being a 2014 puck too? He could be a good bottom 6 guy I think. You have to have hands to play at all in the NHL, and he at least can score. The thing that struck me at the penticton tournament is the Bambi on ice skating stride. I wonder how strong he is on his skates
