Alexander Holtz, Sweden

Another young Swede who could join Carl Lindbom in the global competition is Alexander Holtz. The recent acquisition is 22 years old and boasts plenty of scoring upside, making him a desirable wing candidate. He's also specialized in outside scoring, where he can make plays in tight spaces. There's a good reason why Kelly McCrimmon was keen on acquiring him and offloading Paul Cotter.

The winger also has international experience, competiting in numerous global competitions. That includes the World Junior Championship in 2020, where he scored three goals and two assists in seven games. His contributions helped Sweden win the bronze medal that year, showing why they were a hockey powerhouse.

The Golden Knights have developed a reputation for taking on Swedish stars in recent years. However, Alexander Holtz might be the one star who shines brightest, given his potential to score 30+ goals in a single NHL season. Fans across the world can see why he was a former first-round pick in the NHL Draft, with his scoring penchant in any space.
