Mike Kostka

I would think that Holzer was a victim of his waiver status more than Kostka had jumped him. Kostka may have looked a bit better than Holzer and that was enough to justify keeping Kostka up as there was no risk of losing Holzer on waivers.

I know he only played one game, but Holzer didn't really make much of a case to stick around. To say Kostka has looked "just a bit better" is quite the understatement.

For sure.

And they're two rather different types of dmen: Holzer, more physical and stay-at-home vs Kostka's offensive ability.

I do strongly suspect the Holzer vs Fraser decision was significantly influenced by Holzer being waiver exempt. I would have given Holzer the edge between those two though I like the edge Fraser brings.

Well Carlyle did mention that Holzer looked jittery.

I was referring to training camp.
