nergish Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 44 minutes ago, EternalCanuckFan said: Hoglander just has a "knack" for positioning himself well. He's the most consistent player on the forecheck at disrupting the opposition and stealing pucks by far. His work ethic is amazing yes, but he often seems to know where to place his stick to block an outlet pass or just disrupt the puck carrier's ability to move the puck. I'm not sure if Hoglander will become a top point producer in the NHL, but he has tremendous skills and instincts which bode well for his future. He's the kind of player that can probably play anywhere in the line-up and with pretty much anyone just because he does many useful things well. So funny to think that around Halloween I was listening to his SHL coach say "he's not ready for the NHL". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, is there a spot for him? When healthy, EP, Boeser, Miller, Horvat, Pearson, for forwards and QH or JR on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No top end players are making the trip over there unless they already live in that area. Hoglander has also played a lot of hockey this season. More valuable to rest up and have a full summer of training. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember Shaw saying that he wants the Canucks to try playing in the O zone for as much as possible. Hogz could really be apart of that process. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
