Really have high hopes that Hogs can bounce back this coming season. So much talent. A little work on his d-side game will do wonders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little work on his d-side game will do wonders. Thought for a while BB didn't like him much; but it was most likely his injury problems. Can't wait for camp; BB is not going to mess around like old Greener & Bomber did and waste all that time on guys who weren't going to make the squad. Also, are we not going to have the Prospects Tourney back this year? I always like to see which prospects management decides they can do without and which they are going to invest in.

As long as Ray isn't there it could be ok; he hates the Canucks and always puts them down.

higgyfan Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Even if Hogs plays his best hockey, he may still spend time in Abby because he's waiver exempt. The team has so many top 9 wingers, that it will be hard to fit them on the team. I really don't like to see any of these players (including Hogs) playing on the 4th line. The other fws need to play on an offensive line to be productive. Kuze in particular, will need +++ of time playing on a JT's or Pete's line. I think they will start off with Hogs in Abby and see how the team pans out. I have a feeling Hogs will play extremely well in the AHL and will force the management to make a change on the parent club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoglander can play on the third line, Pearson is much more suited as a fourth liner.

Garland Pettersson Podkolzin Kuzmenko Miller Boeser Hoglander Horvat Mikayev Pearson Lazar Dickinson Yes, Pearson is more suited to the 4th line. Imo, the Canucks 1st line should be Pearson Miller Boeser. Arguably the best line on the team, that may even get better if Brock comes back and elevates his game. Regardless, we will see a lot of line juggling in preseason to find the right chemistry and balance. The P/M/B line will probably gel quicker than the other lines. If that happens, Hogs will be competing with Garland and Kuze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Garland and Petey had awesome chemistry in the last part of the season. Unless we’re boosting Pearsons value for a trade I don’t wanna see him on the first line. I see the lines being much more balanced if he can provide offense to the fourth line while playing a strong two way game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested to see and hear other management personnel than just JR and PA (although I like and respect both of them). I can't agree with that first point. I think Ray is a straight shooter, who isn't going to sugar coat anything or be a cheerleader for the team, which is an approach that too many on CDC seem to be find incomprehensible. I really miss the fact that we don't have any guys with that kind of inside hockey knowledge ( which exceeds Drance's by 1000%) on local sports radio.. As far as hearing from other management staff is concerned, that's nice to hear sometimes, just to get to know them a little better, But I think that if you want to get any real insight into what management is thinking and what they might be trying to do, you want to hear from the guys at the top, which is why i'm personally more interested in interviews with them.

As I'm quite pro-Hogs, I am hopeful he plays well enough in camp and preseason they will have no choice but to keep him up. There's also nothing saying a trade isn't coming before the season starts, which would open up a spot - though I expect expect Joshua will be playing on the 4th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garland Pettersson Podkolzin Kuzmenko Miller Boeser Hoglander Horvat Mikayev Pearson Lazar Dickinson When I'm putting my lineups together I try to put someone who is more pass-first on a wing on each line. This is pretty good. It would be nice for Horvat to finally have someone adept at getting him the puck though. So I tried this: Mikheyev Miller Garland Podkolzin Pettersson Boeser Kuzmenko Horvat Hoglander Pearson Lazar Dickinson 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammertime Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 I think might be able to squeeze Hog in there Mikheyev Miller Brock Kuzmenko Pete Podkolzin Hoglander Bo Garland Dicki Lazar Pearson Dakota He's gotta win puck battles if he's gonna bump Pearson so it should light a fire under him to play a more scrappy game we know he has it in him. Hey so Hoglander when we said finish your checks we didn't mean literally "Finnish Him!" But this theoretically should be very very good line 5v5 with excellent possession metrics. Dare I say one of the best 3rd lines in the league if Hog can mainline some of that Garland energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d love that, but I think the more likely answer is that they move Pearson which would be easier to do, and Dick plays left side and Joshua plays right side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a thing right? Please tell me that's a thing. It's definitely a thing. There's a term for poor second years for a reason. Although not all players bounce back, many do, at least to some degree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is Garland. He's the most likely to get something back and he's my favorite (which means he's probably doomed.) Garland gets traded, Hoglander moves up. My prediction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloubek Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Not at all. We'd be selling low on him. He just needs to figure it out. I'm not sure who it makes sense to jettison - they are all useful players. Besides perhaps Dickinson, who will hopefully have a better year and currently holds no value.

Pure961089 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Just a reminder of why we can’t trade Nils Hoglander. He’s just too skilled and his potential is untapped. I don’t think he’s going anywhere for a rhd. We would have to get a young budding star like Hogz to even consider it.
