Korbinian Holzer: Won't be back with Nashville
General manager David Poile confirmed Tuesday that the Predators will not be re-signing Holzer this offseason, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Nashville traded Matt Irwin and a 2022 sixth-round pick to the Ducks in order to bring Holzer in at the trade deadline, but he only ended up appearing in three games with the Preds, going scoreless while posting a minus-1 rating over that span. On the season, the 32-year-old blueliner totaled four points in 49 games split between Anaheim and Nashville. He'll likely garner some interest from clubs looking to add depth this offseason, but he won't be a useful fantasy option as a stay-at-home defenseman skating in a limited role.

Predators' Korbinian Holzer: Packs up for Music City
The Predators acquired Holzer from the Ducks for Matt Irwin and a 2022 sixth-round pick Monday, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.
Holzer is a stay-at-home defenseman who has produced four points, 90 hits and 85 blocked shots over 46 games this year. The 32-year-old wasn't a fixture in Anaheim's lineup, and he'll have to battle for ice time with the Predators' strong defensive corps. Holzer is set to be an unrestricted free agent in July.

Ducks' Korbinian Holzer: Pots first goal of season
Holzer scored a goal on his only shot and added three hits, two blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Golden Knights.
His first tally of the year came when he chipped the puck over Marc-Andre Fleury amid a tangle of sticks and skates in front of the net before the Vegas goalie could locate it. Holzer has already tied his career high with 34 games played this season and is well on his was to recording triple digits in hits (71) and blocked shots (66), but the depth blueliner has only three points to show for it.

Holzer recorded a shorthanded assist, four hits and three shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Canucks.

However, Holzer was also responsible for the Canucks' lone goal, as Adam Gaudette's centering pass deflected off the German defenseman's skate and behind John Gibson.

Holzer has gone scoreless while averaging 16:40 of ice time in four games this season.
