Bertuzzipunch Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Did we draft a kid in the 2nd round that has the potential to be a 80+ point player? The Hög barely played much pp this year. Mighta been the steal of the 2019 draft. Whats his potential fellow crazy canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe-max Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 In NHL21 he'll reach an 80 rating after only a handful of seasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 He is getting a lot of premium minutes during to injuries... he is making the most of it, but he will likely get pushed down the depth chart. That will especially be the case if they actually move to a PP with both Hughes and Rathbone, so there may be fewer minutes for forwards. History shows that about 25-33% of 2nd/3rd rounders become NHL regulars... so Hoglander is beating expectations already. If we can get a 40-60 point winger out of that pick we are doing well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tas Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 potential? sure. likely? no. in fact, I'd say the safest thing would be to expect regression over the next couple of years rather than stratospheric progression. it's almost never linear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If Hoglander wasn't generating chances I might disagree with 80 points but he has done just that in the majority of his games this year. I don't think Pearson kicks him down to the 3rd. He has the ability to drive a line. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 If he can become a 40-50 point guy who works hard at both ends that's already fantastic, anything more would be gravy. I don't expect him to be a two way guy, I just ask for a good effort in the defensive zone. You need guys who are primarily offensive players. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 His performance justifies being penciled in as a top-6 LW. This potentially allows a guy like Miller becoming a C, thereby creating a roster with 3 lines of gunpowder. Should guys like VP & Lockwood hit the ground running, our fwd-cast will be deeep & ELCheap! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davathor Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The way he battles for and carries the puck... I don't see why he can't eventually be an 80 point guy. He carries and protects the puck better than most of our team as a rookie... a rookie on a basement team playing against top competition no less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could hog get 80-90 points (82 games season of course) in Tampa on the top line? Probably. Can we build a team like that probably not also I’m talk when he’s a little more developed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I think Pettersson is barely a consistent 80 point guy and Petey > Hogs, so not in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
