What does this mean !
We did him a disservice by not doing this much much earlier. Either let him play in Utica and work on his confidence and off-puck play, or let him get some consistent minutes in the NHL. Don’t play him once every 2 weeks and expect him to improve
Holy shit it’s happening today
A free roster spot you say?
Maybe they are getting him some ice time in the AHL so they can highlight him for a trade.
This is interesting
**edit**
Who downvotes this is interesting lmao you people are a joke
This is probably nothing, but i’m taking this as if we’re clearing room for Timo.
Probably for Jack.
But could mean we traded and kept Holtz 👀
Does this suggest we’re freeing up a roster spot for Timo? Or is it more just getting holtz some playing time.
Take wood with you Alex.
Not an imminent move per Novo

Ryan Novozinsky: [The Alexander Holtz recall is not for an imminent move, I’m told. The Devils want him to get some game reps](https://twitter.com/ryannovo62/status/1626637927936581632?s=20)
Timo confirmed
This should have happened four months ago.
Im really not a fan of what I have seen from him.
And before people tell me: “He just needs to play more and the potential is there”
But the minimum requirement to be in the lineup is to bring some sort of value to which I believe he didn’t.
I sincerely hope he turns it on
let him cook
Long overdue. He’s too young to be sitting in a box every game. Let him get his reps in and dominate the AHL, call him back up when the time is right and when he’ll actually get playing time.
He took the “Devils” out of his IG bio and changed his picture lol. He maddddd
THE RETURN. JACK SHOULD BE BACK
IF it’s for Timo or any other (yes they said it’s not trade/acquisition related) that would mean he’s not in the trade likely. It’s possible they are just trying to finish a deal and are saying it’s actually not move related who knows. It would have probably been leaked by now tho.
He’s not playing here, might as well send him down if we can’t fit him on a line 🤷♂️
He’ll get some playing time in San Jose
