If Holtz is regulated to the 4th line send him back to the AHL. Holtz needs game reps and the 4th line doesn’t help him. While he doesn’t require waivers use that.
Zetterlund works better on the 3rd/4th line than Holtz.

I get riding the lines that looked hot but if holtz isn’t going to play minutes as the forward we need him as then let’s get him tons of ice time in Utica.

Holtz with offensive black hole Mcleod… awesome

I get keeping the top 9. But at this point just give the guys who are familiar with eachother a chance to play as a pseudo 3rd/4th line. Holtz-Boqvist-Zetterlund. And if it is a physical matchup go Bastian-McLeod-Zetterlund. Holtz with the super buddies is a bad idea.

I bet they’ll double-shift Hughes a bit to get him out there with Holtz.

Death taxes ruff mixing up the lines

Anyone else think Smith should sit a game and give Bahl a shot? Both of Smiths penalties last night were just lazy stupid plays.

Just send him down. Ruff is a joke. As far as i saw, Holtz didn’t do anything to get benched. Ruff just hates him.

Let’s see how Holtz reacts to this ego hit. If he’s a winner he will come out playing like a lion. If he’s fragile and plays like a lamb, then maybe he’s not the player everybody wants him to be.

Ruff putting Holtz on the 4th line and choosing to sit Zetterlund is another reason why he should be fired. IMO Bastian should move to center because he did try a game at center in preseason, meaning that they think he is capable, and the 4th line should be Zetterlund – Bastian – Wood.
