A trade offer fans will love involving the Canadiens and the Devils emerges
David Ettedgui has just revealed a trade offer that you will love, involving the Canadiens and the Devils, involving Jayden Struble and Alexander Holtz.
On the airwaves of BPM Sports with Georges Laraque, he spoke about the price to pay to acquire a young player like Alexander Holtz from the New Jersey Devils.
His response is very interesting.
Is Jayden Struble practically enough to acquire Alexander Holtz in a trade?
We're talking about a 7th overall pick in the 2020 draft, a first-round pick!
Ettedgui, the former player agent, did mention that it would take Jayden Struble and a small 5th-round draft pick to get a young talent like Holtz.
He really believes that Struble has much more value than one might think in the eyes of other NHL executives.
It's true that a good defensive, complete, and physical defenseman is extremely useful in the NHL, especially during the playoffs.
Holtz, 22 years old, 6 feet tall and 200 pounds, has amassed 16 goals and 28 points this season in New Jersey. (in 82 games) In the AHL, he has accumulated 62 points in 66 games.
His name is increasingly circulating on the trade market, and he definitely has the profile to be "the next Alex Newhook" for Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton with the Montreal Canadiens.
At this price, would you make this trade? Considering the large surplus in defense, and especially considering that Jayden Struble is a left-handed defenseman, it could be very logical for the Montreal Canadiens as a transaction.
Holtz seems to be much more affordable to acquire compared to a Martin Necas or a Trevor Zegras, so he can really become an interesting alternative.
