As much as I kind of want to see what he’s got, I think it’s a better plan to let him play in the AHL for a year (or a month, or whatever is left lol). He’ll still be 19 at the start of the season (if it starts on time) and turns 20 at the end of January. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how he does in preseason of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guadana Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I was watching three last games of binghampton. This is a reason to watch more of their games. Holtz was great in his first half of the season, but i didnt watch second half of Djurgorden`s games. Could Mercer join AHL soon? he ends his season in QJMHL too.

vadvlfan Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Holtz is on an ATO, but signed ELC starting next year. I don't know how many games he gets on a ATO, (Binghamton) but we'll see. I'd love to see Mercer get his feet wet too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Holtz looks like a bit of a tank in this photo. Broad shoulders and looks like he has some upper body strength. Much needed , maybe he can get the rest of the young guys in the gym. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs3cups Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Pumped to have him in the mix. Will try to catch games in the AHL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He at least looks like he has a decent frame to bulk up a bit. 2 hours ago, Devs3cups said: Here's a compilation of his highlights from this season, if it hasn't been posted yet. Even the posts are impressive haha! This video should be titled Alexander Holtz/William Ecklund highlights. Those two have an incredible understanding. If Ecklund is there when we pick and is the BPA I think we have to go for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vadvlfan Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 AHL will be a nice Baptism. All of us fans are guilty of anointing rookies on their hype. We don't know how he'll fare. But optimistic for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t even imagine the level of meltdowns we’ll see if we take another small forward with our top 10 pick. Especially in such a good draft for defense. Not saying he should be off our board (or any forward for that matter), but at some point we have to add some blue chip prospects to the blue line. And this seems like the right year to do that.

Devilsfan118 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Man how great would it be if this kid turns out to be a legit goal scorer. Excited to see what he does in the AHL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this seems like the right year to do that. No I agree, I want a defenseman, I will take any of the ones slated to go in the top 5. But if we end up drafting further back and they all go and Ecklund is there, I think you make that move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 the draft is so all over the place right now. I was looking at some list where the whole top 5 even top 10 are all over the place Owen Power as low as like 3-4th on some of them. And ive seen Ecklund 2nd on some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
