The Colorado Avalanche scouts are probably reviewing their draft notes as the 2020 NHL Draft may well take place in early June. I’m sure they have notes on right wing Alexander Holtz, but just cursory notes since the winger is unlikely to drop to their late 20’s first-round selection.
Holtz is an 18-year-old out of Saltsjö-Boo, Sweden, and let me just say that’s a great name for a town. He’s ranked #2 for European skaters by Central Scouting. He’s expected to go between #5 to #9 in the draft.
Holtz started out the season playing for the SuperElit league, where he spent the better part of the last two seasons.
