The New Jersey Devils used their seventh-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft to take Swedish winger Alexander Holtz. It was a pick that just about everyone was behind. Devils fans, draft analysts, and traditional hockey men all thought it was a pick that made perfect sense for the Devils. Many had Marco Rossi as a higher-ranked prospect, but Holtz fit what the Devils needed so much better.
Devils fans salivated over what Holtz could become. It was unfortunate this wasn’t a normal year because Holtz likely would have had an invitation to Devils training camp along with prospect camps and tournaments.
