Scouting Report:

Alexander Holtz is an elite shooter who can finish from all around the offensive zone, he Anticipates well and gets his body into a position to fire.
Holtz checks all the boxes to fit into today’s game as a goal-scoring winger; he possesses excellent hands and can score in a variety of ways.
As great as Holtz can be as a goal scorer, he is unreliable in his own zone, and his passing can be unreliable if not making the conservative play.
His skating is also not the best so his transition to the NHL might be a bit tougher than other players in his draft class.
With so many high end players in the 2020 draft and Holtz not having a dominant season, he can could go anywhere from 5-10 in the draft.

NHL Potential:

Top line Scorer, with Star potential

Style Comparison: Patrick Laine
