Seravalli believes that the Dallas Stars could look to move pending UFA netminder Braden Holtby at the trade deadline after 23-year-old Jake Oettinger earned the NHL's Third Star of the Week honours for his incredible performances against Colorado, Chicago and Arizona.
Holtby, 32, won a Stanley Cup with the Washington Capitals back in 2018 and could be an improvement for a contending team in a backup capacity.
Holtby has rebounded nicely in Dallas this season after posting back-to-back disappointing campaigns with the Caps and the Canucks in 2019-20 and 2020-21. In 23 appearances this season for the Stars, Holtby has a losing record at 9-10-1 record, but has improved in both GAA (2.78) and SV% (.912) this season.
Per Seravalli, Vegas, Edmonton, Pittsburgh and even a return to Washington are possible for Holtby.
