If Madden signs at the end of the NCAA season it would be great to see Lind and Madden and judge the merit of both and who's the stronger player for the future

It would be awesome to have some stiff competition on the farm team; especially when there are spots available on the big club.  I think there's a possibility that we'll see Hogs joining Utica as well.

We also need to keep in mind he is averaging under 14 minutes a game. Those are pretty decent stats playing mens hockey and he's turning another gear. If he can keep this confidence up he'll keep adding more tools to his game. He was over 16 minutes last game so he's obviously making a good impression in his first game back from world juniors.

Man what a gem. I will say I was worried about his size and style of play but after seeing what's his doing in a men's league is putting that to rest. 

Hoglander isn't have a problem with playing against men and even going to the dirty areas and that holds back a lot of smaller forwards

Looks like Hog was playing on the third line yesterday. Anyone have any insight into this?

 

Also interesting to note that Hoglander played on a line with former Canucks 6th round pick Taylor Matson.

 

That historically bad 2007 draft is the only draft in our 50 year history to not produce a single game played by any of our picks :picard:

Mike Gillis famously traded Patrick White (2007 first round pick of the Canucks) and Daniel Rahimi (2006 second round pick of the Canucks) for Christian Ehrhoff who helped solidify the Canucks blueline in anticipation for the 2011 playoff run. Rahimi and White never played an NHL game. Whereas Ehrhoff and Brad Lukowich (the other guy in the trade) both played NHL minutes with the Canucks (Lukowich played 13 games with Canucks and obviously Ehrhoff became Ehrohoff for us).

Of course that was an all time great trade.

 

Doesnt change the fact that that was our worst draft in history.

 

Next being our 2010 draft that only produced one NHL game played (Friesen)

 

Worthy of note is that Sharks at the time was just trying to dump his salary and make room to bring in Brent Burns. Regardless of the circumstance, it was a steal of a trade for the Canucks. Two busts for a high-end offensive defenseman who became a big part of our 2011 run.

Hmmm who were they trying to make room for then? 
 

I remember it being a salary dump of sorts at the time.
