whack-a-mole
Wow, I’m shocked!

Guy’s gonna score 25 goals somewhere else. Another LA misfire.
OldManInAHotHatch
At this point, it’d be addition by subtraction. He was poor defensively, so if he’s not scoring, he useless.
I wish him luck, but that’s looking like a waste of a pick at this point.
HockeyIQshop1
They really dropped the ball on this one
randal-flagg
Trade him for someone who can score goals.
Cagekicker52
Trade him. Guys not even an NHL quality skater. If we’re gonna keep the same or similar system he’s gotta go.
JustTheBeerLight
Yeah, trade him back to Ontario.
Thumper13
Probably were looking to trade him anyway. But thanks for killing the market a bit. Hope we get a good player from a crappy team for that announcement.
GIR-C137
Want Holtz?
ZachtheKingsfan
Sucks they wasted a whole year of him and potentially damaged his value. This is a deal that should have happened a year ago.

when your team has a 22yo player who requests a trade that was a PPG player prior to the NHL, all that you can do is be disappointed.
King_of_da_Castle
I mean he’s pretty one dimensional and not even great at it the past 2 seasons.

So another prospect from Blake’s masterclass “shortest rebuild of all time” hits the dust, with Spence likely next up for departure. Byfield and Clarke, assuming they even let Clarke play, will be close to their mid-20’s by the time the next rebuild even starts. I’d bet on them becoming our versions of Dach and DeBrincat, good young pieces who end up being sold off because they simply won’t fit the new contention timeline once they are forced to overhaul this group.

He’s gonna end up killing it somewhere else.
OinkiePig_
Me: he was born in 2001 can he already be asking for a trade?
Reality crashing down on old man me: he was drafted in 2019
swingatsm
You don’t know if he worked hard to get into the line up or he just sulked and felt sorry for himself. I wanted Arty to be that guy but you also have to hit the net to score. Picking 17 ir 18 year old kids has an element of not knowing the level they mature to. Every team goes thru this.
