VegasCanuck Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Not sure he gets to 80 points, but 65 - 70 range and he is a home run. Would like to see him get more power play time next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a lot of unicycle makers out there, should I have bought stock in one of them, if possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if turnout for summer unicycle hockey has gone up, with kids hoping to emulate Pettersson and Höglander? http://vanuni.com Probably not last year, due to the pandemic, but I could see more young Canucks fans giving it a try, once things get back to normal.

I might look into learning how to ride one. I used to ride streetbikes but a back injury flares up if I bend it for too long; however the upright style of the uni maybe the answer. Must be great for core strenght and balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gurn Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 As for Nils, looking good so far, I'd wait for another season before projecting his peak though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Oregon.Duck Posted May 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 11, 2021 if someone asked me, early in to Marchand's career, if he'd be putting up 80-90+ points, I'd tell ya to calm down. But it happened. Höglander has a Marchand type game and I think he can get even pestier, more physical, and even more of an offensive dynamo. I see his potential as Marchand. If we get that, we are sitting pretty. 1 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilya Mikheyev Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Hoggie has 1 fewer even strength point than Bo, and 3 more than Miller. While 80 might be possible, if the Canucks have any semblance of a second power play unit next year we might see him crack 55 or 60 which would be great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want to see Hogs and Petey go head to head. From a point of view from someone who juggles. I’m more impressed at the whole riding a unicycle. When juggle 3 balls it doesn’t take much focus at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KariyaSakicAnderson Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 80 point player? It's possible a year here or there. He most likely will be an Ehlers type player, a consistent low 60s point player that's tough to play against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Probaby has 50-60 potential more than likely. Unless he has Marchand development and turns into a star player in his late 20s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Höglander is 1st in goals and 2nd in points among 2019 draft picks this season. He's darn good. Now, I don't know about 80 points/season good (Petey hasn't even done that yet). But Höglander is still great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably gets 20 goals at least if this was a 82 game season while being only a 20 yr old that can fly. I think he has more potential than ppl give him credit for just because of where he was drafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I mentioned Marchand didn’t turn into a star till his late 20s. He had a bunch of seasons at 40-60 points prior to taking that step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
