Getting Holtz feels like getting Sven Baertschi at the 2015 deadline. High draft pick pedigree that is an offensive first guy, has middling numbers at the NHL level and a team is just hoping he can come through in a different environment. Sven was traded in his D+4 year as well and he returned a 2nd round pick. Holtz might be slightly better than Sven was but not by much. There are 14 forwards taken in the first round in 2020 that have better numbers than him. I doubt Conroy bites on that package, it is pretty mediocre.
