Any update on Hoglanders game this week? 

He is showing on  hockeydb as still 0 - 4 - 4 and +4 after 3 games, so I assume he didn't make the scoresheet in game 3

Wouldn't worry me .... in Lind we have a bigger, younger, faster, feistier version waiting his chance.

Oh yeah, Chocolate is gonna push for a roster spot this season for sure! I love the game he plays. He's got Burrows upside, pesky top 9 forward, but can play in your bottom 6 and won't hurt you.

50/50 ... 

 

He’s made a successful jump to AHL which is big.

Although next in line after MacEwen and Bailey on the winger depth chart (per his invite to Vancouver for the pause/resume camp, although not included in the final bubble) 

 

 

Being behind MacEwen and Bailey doesn't bode well for his NHL prospects. You're proving my point.

He's turning 22 this month. He nearly tripled his AHL rookie season point total in his 2nd year (from 17 to 44) for just under 0.75 P/G while averaging 1PIM/G as an in your face agitator type of player.

 

Not sure what your expectations are for him but I see a successful young player taking all the right steps towards being a full time NHL middle six forward within 1-2 years.

 

Edit: This is Hoglander talk lol. The training staff is very high on him it seems, he definitely has an advantage because of how hard he works in the gym combined with his natural skill and intelligence. He's got a great leg up on this season and it looks like he's taking another step forward in the SHL. Would be interesting to potentially see him at training camp this year.
