I like Holtz, he is going to be a top 6 RW that scores goals but if you think Kuzmenko is a guy you are keeping and with Coronato close, Holtz makes no sense for us. So if the Flames covet Mercer in a deal for Markstrom and the Devils won't put him in a deal the deal is dead.

I 100% agree with this, I think it's all just playing chicken. Will see how this pans out.
