Not to mention Timo is exactly the type of player this team needs. Power forward with good size who is right in his prime, and lines up with their window perfectly.

Gaudreau would have obviously been a nice pickup, too, but he’s 5’9 165 lbs (we are already a tad on the small side as it is) and about to turn 30 this offseason. 

Exactly. I'm so glad we didn't end up with Gaudreau and that contract. We don't need another smallish forward, possibly exiting his prime in the next two years

People are assuming Holtz was told he would be traded, and then was sent down so that SJ could evaluate him. To me, this makes little sense. There's no better way to kill a relationship with a player than to tell him he's about to be traded and then for there to be a chance he isn't.

I think it's more likely that he was told he is being sent down to stay, and he's a little frustrated by that, so he changed his bio and profile picture. The way he was handled this season has been just awful. I would really like to see him go on a tear down there, and score some nice power play goals teed up by Nemec.

Was he really mistreated though? He was given the opportunity several times on a fast dynamic team in the best league in the world and he choked hard. Some guys just can't cut it. 

He watched Wood be a black hole and is pissed. Holtz might not be ready, but he deserves more chances than freaking Wood.

He was given 10 mins a night with Miles Wood or Erik Haula usually after not playing for 3 weeks straight. He has not been given good opportunities. That said, when he did come in his effort level didn’t look to be there so he can’t complain too much.
