Pontus Holmberg

Age: 24

Height/Weight: 6′, 202 LBS

Contract: $800 K Cap-Hit, Expires after next season.

Draft:  6th Round, 156 Overall, 2018 NHL Entry Draft

Acquired: Draft

Role:  4th Line Checking Centre with Potential.

Career Highs:  5 Goals, 13 Points in 37 Games 2022-23

Last Year’s Scoring: See Above

Last Year 5v5 Scoring/ Rate: 4 Goals, 8 Assists, 2.0 P /60

On-Ice 5v5 Stats:     Cori-For  48% ;   Shots-For 49%;   Scoring-Chances-For 51% Goals-For 52 %          Expected Goals 49%

Status: Likely regular, may be in battle to make team as Nylander pushes Kampf to 4C and there may not be a spot for him.

Expectations:  Win a job and improve on strong rookie performance.

Notes:  Holmberg’s potential makes the Kampf deal even worse, which shouldn’t be possible because it’s atrocious already.  Holmberg pretty much broke even last year overall, and the team ended up winning his minutes and additionally, he scored at an excellent rate.

If he doesn’t make the team out of camp, it’s not his fault and he’ll be be one of the first call-ups as soon as an injury occurs.
