Popular Post Butters Stoch Posted June 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2019 People need to stop bringing up his size as a concern. He's clearly got the strength if he survived a full season in a men's league as a 5'9" teenager and put up impressive numbers at the combine. He's probably built like tank if he's really 185lbs at his height. 2 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honeydew Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Definitely love this kid, his creativity on the ice is just amazing that he's able to do SOMETHING with the puck that generates an offensive chance. His workout ethic is just crazy after taking a look at his youtube videos like his draft video said and holy cow was I amazed on how FIT this kid is. We are definitely drafting these "role" players that we hear so much about that have a huge effect when it comes to the playoffs. Could definitely be a 2nd/3rd liner utility forward who can break speed, grit, and scoring ability. I understand that people are knocking him on his size, but I'm definitely thinking this kid will NOT have an issue just looking at how the NHL is trending into a more puck possession type of game style with smaller dynamic forwards making a huge difference in teams. I wonder if Hoglander and Pettersson will do dual unicycle juggling with them just juggling things between them during practices lol Edited June 23, 2019 by Honeydew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just based on the pull ups alone he should be better than Bennett . So when do we start a Hoglander workout thread! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the intention in getting Miller was to give Petey some extra skill but especially size on the LW. I'm very curious to see if Miller can gain chemistry on that line - it is a great opportunity as a stepping stone for him to increase his stats and value. I feel if he can get to 60+ points there, we are in for two truly lethal lines in a couple of years. I thought they got Miller so Bo had someone to play with. He is a 1 man show on his line.

WeneedLumme Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Considering this kid's height, weight, speed, skill set and combine physical test results, I see a lot of similarities to Bure. I am really looking forward to seeing if those things also look similar on the ice. Wouldn't that be nice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

higgyfan Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 This kid is going to be a really good player. Canucks seem to be putting 'work ethic' as one of their top characteristics and this kid has loads of it.

Popular Post Johnny Torts Posted June 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2019 Absolutely disgusting. First we pick up the 3rd best player in the draft at 10th overall, Then we get another 1st rounder drop to us to early in the 2nd. And we added a top 6 Forward to our roster! effing love it. 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonJon doesn't hit like Nils does, and doubt he squats 300+lbs. This kid has lightning-quick hands and is aggressive -- kindof what we hoped we were getting in Dahlen. Apparently got little ice-time last year but still put up decent points. Would expect he takes a bigger role this year, and think he just might light it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarities are their skating and quick darts in and out of traffic also they’re both phenomenal stick handlers. Gaudreau I think has a better shot than Nils but that can be improved on Edited June 24, 2019 by Pure961089 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
