Quoting: Subbanator7667
Still don't think it's something either team does though. NJ will have Hamilton, Hughes, Nemec as anchors the next 5 years +
I think they're better to keep Holtz for when Toffoli, Palat and Haula are gone. NJ should just be doing small priced rentals, they already have the horses to stay the course and have success
Idk if NJD would do it either. Guhle is definitely a piece of interest who would fit in well, and I think another LD to improve on bahl could be of interest. (It's the only position other than a superstar goalie that holtz would be on the market for). The biggest question mark surrounding Guhle is his underwhelming PK metrics. I'd like to see him improve on that.
I would not be actively shopping Holtz, and Montreal shouldn't be actively shopping guhle unless they are WAY higher on at least 3 of Xhekaj, Struble, Hutson, Harris, and Matheson than I am.
A top 6 of Hughes Hischier Meier Holtz Mercer Bratt long term is probably the answer, but maybe instead of holtz we find another guy. Maybe if Gritysuk comes over he can be that, or Lenni, or Palat/Haula for the short term. Who knows
