after the jets trade today how could they reason with trading away a top 3 goalie at 50% retention for a B+ tier prospect, a mid goalie and a 2nd

Lmao Holtz is a top 25 prospect and not available for a rental

sure lmao.

Caps accept that

“a B+ prospect”?

Alexander Holtz is one of the best winger prospects in hockey. He had one of the best D+2 seasons ever in AHL (only behind Reichel and Rantanen in terms of production) and was a bit a victim of circumstance being on a team performed way above expectations, which locked him out of NHL opportunities. By most accounts, he is a top-25 prospect, if not top-10.

When Grier brought his name up in Meier talks, Devils GM response was reportedly, “if Holtz, then only Holtz”. That was a few months ago. If he was held is such high regard then, it’s safe to assume he would not likely be part of a package deal for a rental goalie.

1. You don’t do a trade for helly as a rental. What good does that do you, give your developing team 1 shot to win the cup and lose valuable assets in return. Is laf still at A tier prospect because he’s sure a lot better than holtz. Holtz doesn’t have room in this roster. If he’s as valuable as you wish why not trade him to win a cup

Our window is just opening. And call me in a year on Holtz vs Laf and I will give you my answer.
