As of July 12, 2022, there is a very strong likelihood that Holtby might not play hockey again. However, this is not confirmed as of right now, and likely won't be for a while. We should not refer to him in the past tense. Until he makes it official, he is not a "former" goaltender yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:643:8080:F200:999A:4941:DE89:829D (talk) 03:15, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
On July 2, 2024, Holtby served as an assistant coach to Capitals goaltending coach Scott Murray[1] As what the article says, Holtby is now a former goaltender. Just try telling that to Sbaio, who constantly gets on my nerves when I search thick and thin for facts, which whenever I edit certain pages, he reverts them each and every time. I want someone else other than him to review this matter, and see if Holtby should be counted as a former goaltender. After not playing for 2 seasons, I'd say he is done. D-O-N-E. Also free agency period is going on, and I highly doubt anybody will want to sign him. Marino13 (talk) 05:16, 4 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
The source says:
The former Capitals netminder will assist Scott Murray. – meaning that Holtby played for the Capitals in the past.
...with Braden Holtby serving as a guest coach. – it quite clearly says he was a guest.
Holtby still lives in the area and has not played since 2021-22, when he played in 24 games with the Dallas Stars. – obviously means that he last played in the 2021–22 season.
I read the section on WP:HOUNDING. The only difference is you get away with it Scott free, whereas when I make any changes even a small one, "DENIED" in bold letters. Other users take note of it too on your talk page!
And yes, you read right (maybe not right enough) Holtby IS a former goaltender, and hasn't played since 2021-22. Also I shouldn't have to explain when you see a former player join the team in that manner, they're technically done with hockey for good, never to take the ice again. And even if I was right, you wouldn't care anyways, because you want an actual verified source to say when a player is done or not. Newsflash, that don't always happen for every single one of them.
