It’s nearly impossible to not make comparisons between the three top Swedish wingers in this class: Lucas Raymond, Alexander Holtz, and Noel Gunler. All three have produced at the top of their age group for quite some time, and subsequently, played most of their season against men in the Swedish Hockey League.
Of the three, Holtz was the most productive point-producer at the SHL and in international play. Some feel that his play this year makes him the most “NHL ready” of the group, and salivate at the offensive potential he might have if he learns to generate more dangerous opportunities from high-danger areas.
