Battlemonger Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 How this guy made it to the end of the second round in the draft is beyond me. Even last year he looked like a late first. Not complaining though. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoglander being 5’9” is the only reason he fell to 40 if he was 2” taller come draft day he would have been a 1rst round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even last year he looked like a late first. Not complaining though. LOL Honestly, I think he slid because of his size. He's 5'9". But he's definitely got first round talent. Honestly, drafting Hoglander and Podkolzin this past draft makes the JT Miller trade more palatable since you can make the argument the Canucks walked away with "two first round talents" in 2019. Very excited to see how he fares in North America next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruilin96 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 On 12/28/2019 at 12:40 PM, Stierlitz said: I just thought the no mic'up video was because at #10 they were expecting to draft someone like Seider and he wasn't available and JB and crew might seem a little disappointed that that''s why there isn't a mic'up video. There wasn't one for 2016 as well, as I know JB was hoping for PLD at #5 so they can package that pick and Horvat to Montreal for PK Subban (man, what a horrible trade that would have been, thank you Columbus). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot wait to see his impact on our prospect camp and AHLers next year. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dixon Ward Posted December 30, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2019 I think it's pretty clear that getting Hoglander in the second, Lind in the second, and Madden in the third are why JB was comfortable giving up a 1st for Miller. 3 2 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locke Lamora Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I hope The Hog pushes to make the Canucks next year. I really think another player with a sniper mentality is what we need. Skill-wise, he is a definite up grade on Pearson and Leivo...though I still like those 2 guys but I think their spot in the lineup is too high. Hog is matching, if not exceeding my expectations I had for him heading into this tournament. On track to be one stars of the WJC. Awesome to watch. BTW...he’s tied for 3rd in tournament scoring.

Odd. Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Why am I more excited about Hoglander than Podkolzin? Lol. Both are awesome picks though. I expect Hoglander to push for a spot next year. Podkolzin in a couple of years. Edited December 30, 2019 by Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alflives Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Just now, Odd. said: Why am I more excited about Hoglander than Podkolzin? Lol Because he’s more flashy. Pods is a much more complete player though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
