Byfield though. That’s a 2OA. Now that’s a Bustaroo Bonsai. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way I look at it, some players in the later rounds turn out to be great players and teams just missed to boat on not drafting them in the first round Edited December 12, 2022 by Devron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I just hope Hogs doesn't end up following this guy's career path at this point. Honestly, as a massive Hogs fan. It sometimes feels like he doesn't have to talent to overcome his size. He has the heart for sure. But at 5'8/5'9 you really gotta be a beast to make it in the NHL. I really feel the lack of a veteran 3rd line presence hurts our winger development to an extent. Someone to help them along and provide them talent. Our wingers are usually playing with guys like Beagle, or Gaudette. Or some AHL guy like Aman, Megna, Chaput and Joshua. Who are thrown everywhere in the lineup cause our organizational depth has never been good. It feels like if the winger kids can't play with the studs in the top 6, they struggle. Cause we have no 3rd line center to help them along. Every single winger prospect we say the same thing "They are fine in the top 6. Suck in the bottom 6. They gotta earn it though." But who do we have playing in the bottom 6? Nobody worth a damn. It's a weird situation where I can't tell if we're bad at drafting or bad at developing.

He became AHL eligible only this season. Following an illness that caused weight loss they sent him down this season and have since left him down to develop and play big minutes in all situations. He is ppg with 14pts in 13 games (9 goals). He was always pegged as someone that will take some time to develop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kodos Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 No idea why so many people are champing at the bit to downplay the best potential claim of the season so far. This guy has major potential and it would cost nothing to take a swing on him. What is the reasoning for not doing that? And for all the whiners crying about how he’s not better than _____ (insert underperforming Canuck) our current management is allergic to good decisions so he won’t be claimed by us.

Kobayashi Maru Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 As much as I like Hoglander, maybe we claim Tolvanen to play in his spot and we send Hoglander to the Abby Canucks for a few months for the same reasons as Podkolzin. Give him all of the top opportunities there to help take his game to the next level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
