Pontus Holmberg Scouting Reports

Depth energy provider
When he was a developing prospect he projected as a player who could provide better than secondary offense.
As a pro he has adjusted his game. Plays quick. Disrupts opponents down low in their zone. Tracks back. Works. Checker.
Averages less than 10:00 TOI ... doesn't have a role on any special teams.
Needs to find a way to be more reliable in the face-off circle.

A skilled forward who finds quiet ice in the offensive zone and produces offense. A capable shooter as well as distributor. On the PP he comes off the half wall and makes plays from the perimeter. Defensive detail is average. He is quick out of the gate but has a relatively short stride and not a ton of open ice separation. At times he bodies up / shields pucks and shows he can spin off a check or get the edge and drive to the net. While playing at the SHL level in Sweden he was used primarily RS, PP, and 4vs4. Occasionally PK. Element is offense.
