Alexander Holtz's Player Profile

Jokke Nevalainen - Dobber Prospects - Sept. 30th: "He has the ability to get himself open for a shot, and once he gets the puck, it doesn’t stay on his stick for long. His shot is incredibly powerful and accurate, making it difficult for goalies to stop even when they see it coming."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "Everyone agrees he has power to his game and that he’s got arguably the best wrist shot in the draft (his one-timer still needs some work). But some question his small area skill, his quickness, or his playmaking talent."

Mike Morreale - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "A pure goal-scorer with a great selection of shots, Holtz plays a tough, intelligent game. He had 55 shots on goal and averaged 12:53 of ice time in 35 games in the SHL this season."

Adam Kimelman - NHL.com - Aug. 25th: "Holtz (6-0, 192) is a strong skater and can get a hard, accurate shot off from anywhere in the offensive zone. He led all 18-and-under players in the Swedish Hockey League in points (16) and tied for the lead in goals (nine)."

Steve Kourmianos - The Draft Analyst - Aug. 10th: "Holtz is one of the draft’s purest finishers and his shot-release combination is absolutely lethal. Holtz has ideal size and the necessary balance to maintain his reputation as a goal scorer, and his compete level and shift-to-shift consistency are both exemplary."

Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "He is a natural offensive talent, with an elite release and quick hands. He has vision and offensive sense that challenge opposing defenses, along with the strength to drive the net. His skating is very good, and there's power in his stride."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - June 25th: "Elite shooting and goal-scoring ability should translate to the NHL."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - June 22nd: "A pure goal scorer with a great selection of shots, Holtz plays a tough, intelligent game ... Holtz offers good on-ice vision and fine technical skills, gets to the tough areas of the ice, can set up his teammates and is not just a productive scorer but an effective playmaker."

Ryan Kennedy - The Hockey News - May 11th: "Another awesome shooter, Holtz has always worked well with Raymond for Sweden, which is why I call them the ‘Terror Twins.’"

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Apr. 8th: "There are some deficiencies in his game, but many believe the goal-scoring ability he has is translatable to the NHL."

Cam Robinson - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 1st: "An elite shooter who can finish from all around the offensive zone. Anticipates well and gets his body into a position to fire. Owns above-average speed and puck skills to go with the killer instinct."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 20th: "A pure goal scorer with a great selection of shots, Holtz plays a tough, intelligent game. He had 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) and 55 shots on goal while averaging 12:53 of ice time in 35 games in the Swedish Hockey League."

Mike G. Morreale - NHL.com - Mar. 6th: "A goal-scorer with a great selection of shots, Holtz plays a tough, intelligent game. He has 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) and 49 shots on goal averaging 12:55 in ice time in 31 games in the Swedish Hockey League."

Sam Cosentino - Sportsnet - Mar. 4th: "Uses elite spatial awareness equally well for scoring goals and distributing the puck."Jokke Nevalainen - Dobber Prospects - Sept. 30th: "He has the ability to get himself open for a shot, and once he gets the puck, it doesn’t stay on his stick for long.
