im kinda surprised they brought him back up so soon i was hoping we'd get a decent look at him down in the minors tbh his game is still a work in progress but he's got potential for sure

GO

idk maybe they want to rush him and get him comfortable with the system for next season already? his D being sketchy isn't exactly new tho

yeah his D being sketchy hasnt changed since the start of last season but still think they should've held out a bit longer before bringing him up man

i think they just want a look at him on d-pairing with pacioretty again, that's all man ngl it's the same old issues he had last year

GO

@GoldenKnights4Life: yeah that's possible but still dont think its enough reason to rush him up idk man, seems like theyre just trying to force some chemistry again this summer

same old issues yeah.

totally agree with that, same old issues is like a broken record at this point man

GO

yeah same old issues at least we're all on the same page now man @section301vgk

ngl i think theyre just setting him up for disappointment again man, dont think thats a fair ride for the kid honestly

i think we're all forgetting that he's still got a lot of work to do down in abbott with the baby jacks man, needs more reps before the NHL level honestly

ngl i think you're being way too generous with him man, we've seen this story play out before and it usually doesn't end well @GoldenKnights71

SE

@nick_goldenknights, man i don't think its as simple as "we've seen this story play out before" imo theyre trying to do something different with Holtz tbh

idk man lol honestly i think they're trying to give him a chance to make it work this time around

GO

@nick_goldenknights, dont think its that simple imo, gotta give him some leash tbh

SE

yeah i think we're being fair by giving him some leash but let's be real, gotta hold him accountable too imo, can't keep relying on "potential" forever man @GoldenKnights4Life

GO

@GoldenKnights4Life, dont think we've given him too much leash yet tbh still gotta see what he does when games matter, not just during preseason man

dont think games matter is just around the corner tho lol we still got preseason and probably some pre-season games overseas or something.

yeah i know games arent far off but think you're downplaying how deep we are at C right now man @GoldenKnights4Life

@GoldenKnights71: cant argue that man we're deep at C but what's really scary is if we cant find a way to get any goal-scoring out of the bottom six imo

GO

yep totally agree w/ 301 about the bottom six man we need some scoring from that group if we wanna make noise this season ngl

yeah but think you're getting ahead of yourself @GoldenKnights4Life, we still gotta worry about the cap situation and how we get everyone under contract man some of those restricted free agents are gonna cost a pretty penny idk how we're gonna make it work

ngl we gotta get our cap situation figured out but i'd rather be worried about that than tryna make up points in the standings at this point lol gotta take care of the business side first @GoldenKnights71 man

told ya we gotta get our ducks in a row cap-wise, dont wanna be worriedin about makin space for the boys when the regular season hits lol @nick_goldenknights

yup already knew that @GoldenKnights4Life lol think we all did after last year's debacle

GO

I gotta disagree here, Holtz is a promising prospect who needs some NHL reps now if he's gonna be an impact player down the line. Bringing him back up shows Vegas prioritizes his development over trying to fill cap space right away, which might actually work out for them in the long run.

GO

idk man, think bringing him up shows they're worried about cap issues more than his development tbh @danM88

yup already knew that lol, now lets just hope they're gettin this whole cap situation figured out before it's too late @GoldenKnights71

NI

yeah cant just hope that, gotta have a plan in place, we all know how last year ended lol @GoldenKnights71

SE

yup agree with you @nick_goldenknights, we can't just hope they get it right this time, we need to see some actual moves being made on the cap front man
