| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"When he is competing, he is very noticeable and
effective. He is used both on the power-play and penalty-kill units, and
at times he has been used at the point on the power-play. He skates very
well, smooth, and he generates good speed. He has a very good shot." "Lanky budding power forward has very good
individual skills. Deceptively good skater has a wide base and powerful
stride. Never appears to be going hard, but usually arrives first. Good
size/strength ratio and solid puck skills. ... Can take over shifts but
is still very inconsistent with his effort. Has a very good shot, heavy
with a quick release." "Holland is a player with good size and a solid
frame. A good skater who has the skills and abilities to beat defender
wide. ... Despite having such good size does not consistently show much
in the way of physical play. ... Has the ability to dominate, but must
show it on a nightly basis." "He's not a high energy player. He's smart and
calculating. He has all the pro tools - good hands and he's very
talented." |
