2021 Top 25 Under 25: Pontus Holmberg jumps to #20

Pontus Holmberg was drafted in 2018, but it wasn’t until two months ago that he officially became a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs, signing his entry level contract on June 4th.

The deal was signed weeks after Holmberg and Växjö Lakers won the Swedish Hockey League championship, and Holmberg was named playoff MVP after he scored 7 goals and 7 assists in the 14 games it took to win the Le Mat Trophy.

Acquired: 156th overall in 2018

Bouncing from 18th to 25th and back to 20th on this list isn’t too odd for player movements, especially ones who play in Europe; out of sight, out of mind.
