I wasn't to familiar with the kid when we drafted him.. watching footage of him last night then seeing this montage I think we hit a home run. I look forward to hopefully seeing him get an exhibition game or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was measured at 5'10" at the combine. It's not like hes 5'8. 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, more than happy to have Sven in #1LW (or Virt if he smartens up) until this kid comes!! Hopefully he makes it. Question: Where's he playing next year? I see Brendan Gallagher when I watch this kid. I'd be amazed if he doesn't get an invite to main camp and from there, who knows. Tuck Hoglander under Petey's wing, then you gain instant depth and recoup some picks with your extra assets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being built like a block is a huge asset. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if he is still growing also, as many said he was only 5’9”, but measured in at 5’10”........ would be great if he added a other inch or two. Really excited about this prospect. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueDragon23 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 This guy is a gem. He’s quick and got silky smooth hands. Happy he fell to us at #40. Could be a home run. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hoglander played on that USDT with Hughes against boys, instead of in the SHL against men, I wonder where he gets drafted? Is he top 15? I think so. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Maru Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Assuming the chance is almost zero but could he potentially make the team? He doesn’t need to bulk up anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does someone with such obvious upside slide to 40th overall? Are our collective rose coloured glasses deceiving us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really excited about this prospect. He's already a freak athlete and he's always going to be as wide as he is tall. You just have to recognize talent. Pettersson has #40 in honor of Zetterberg, but he plays like Datsyuk. Hoglander is Pettersson's Zetterberg. 2 talents like this with Hughes Boeser and Horvat is an amazing foundation to build on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping he will be another pick other teams kick themselves over for not picking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB and Bracket are starting to collect quite a few of these players other teams missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
