I would imagine size had a lot to do it with. Gaudreau was drafted in the 4th round after all. I would also say he didn't get as much exposure as others, like Cole Caufield, who many projected to go within the top 10. Even he was drafted 15th. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size, I don’t think his IQ is as high and while his defensive awareness and effort seems good you see some questionable decision making(fly bys etc). I am no expert at all! Don’t wanna get reamed out by CDC, just playing the game. By the way, you can check out https://prospectshifts.com/. It’s only 5 dollars a month but tons of great content including hoglander. I hope it’s not against the rules but I am not affiliated 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it’s not against the rules but I am not affiliated It's a tough comparison between an 18yr old player against a 25yr elite NHL vet. Although they do have some similar skills (puck handling, soft hands and speed), they have more differing skill. They are similar in height, but Hogs has 20lbs on Gaudreau. Until now, I hadn't seen a comparison between these two players, but I have seen Hogs game compared to Gallagher with a much better scoring upside. Unlike Gaudreau, Hogs plays an aggressive game and is not afraid to engage in the physical aspects of the game. He also plays a solid defensive game. He will put up a lot of points, but probably not at JGs level. I think this kid will be playing in the NHL in 2-3 yrs; maybe starting on the 3rd line, but will end up in the top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Anyone else get the feeling that he will be on the first line with Pettersson while Podkolzin will play on the second line with Bo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO picks after 15, Its pretty much a crapshoot where teams draft closer to needs rather than talent since the talent pool around that time is quite close. Either way, Hogs drop isn't as drastic as some of the other guys like that Russian guy Kuliev (I dont want to bother to research his name, the guy that the Kings took in the 2nd round) and Lavoie. That would've been something had Lavioie and Hogs were available during our pick, I wonder who would've the Canucks have taken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs isn't the only one that dropped as evidenced by the 2nd round selections of Kaliev, Lavoie, and Vlasic, all slated for the tail end of the first. Definitely a testament to how close picks 15-50 were in potential and skill level. Definitely happy with the Hoglander pick as LW is a position the Canucks lack in their system. Had Kaliev been still available, I can imagine the Canucks snatching him purely on a BPA, making one or two of Virtanen, Lind, McEwan, and Jasek expendable down the line, especially with the inclusion of Podkolzin. Part of the reason why I love the draft. Edited July 20, 2019 by therodigy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 I wonder if Hogs has his eyes on one of our forward spots. If he lights it up in camp and preseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be at camp this year as his SHL season will have already started. Others have mentioned this already in the thread and I am just stating what they did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
