Holtz will look to carve himself out a role among the Golden Knights' bottom six. He recorded a career-high 28 points in 82 games for the Devils back during the 2023-24 season.
Vegas is expected to be a contender in the Western Conference, with the big addition of Mitch Marner in the offseason. Holtz will have to get off to a good start and show his value to add some secondary scoring or else he'll be in tough to find a regular shift for the Golden Knights.
