<p>In exchange for Holtz and Schmidt, the Golden Knights sent center Paul Cotter and a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.&nbsp;</p>



<p>A native of Stockholm, Sweden, Holtz has played a combined 163 NHL games, scoring 23 goals and 23 assists, and has established himself as a regular in the Vegas lineup heading into the 2025-26 season.&nbsp;</p><div class="injected-ad injected-video" data-nn-ad-tech-injection-count="0" data-nn-ad-tech-max-gap="130" data-nn-ad-tech-current-gap="163"></div>



<p>The seventh overall selection in the 2020 NHL Draft by the Devils, the six-foot forward previously played professionally in Europe with Sweden’s Djurgardens IF from 2018-2021, having graduated from their junior systems, before entering the SHL ranks.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Following a seven-goal, 18-point season in 2020-21, he made the switch to North America, starting with the AHL’s Binghamton Devils, before making his NHL debut with New Jersey with nine games in 2021-22.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Internationally, he has also represented Sweden at the World Junior level, scoring a combined four goals and eight points through 12 games at both the 2020 and 2021 tournaments.&nbsp;</p>
