Confirmed with Link: Canucks Re-Sign W Nils Hoglander to 3y/3m AAV Contract

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Has done nothing so far to make the early commit from the team seem like a good bet.

Still think he'll be moved.

He's essentially the same player he was last season.

Being in great shape doesn't magically make the warts and inconsistencies in his game disappear.

It's clear Tocchet does not trust him to play high leverage minutes or PK minutes. So you have a guy playing bottom-6 minutes (and some PP, which is almost negligible given how little time the 2nd unit gets) that the coach doesn't trust defensively.

So usage wise you pretty much have another Sprong but at 3M instead of 900k. Management and coaches must really believe he has another gear, or at least will eventually play a more mature and well-rounded game.

He brings more to the table than Sprong.

A lot more.

Really thought that when Hoglander had his breakthrough 24 goal season and then signed a three year contract, that he'd be a Canuck for years.

But now I'm just not sure......hasn't been the best start to the season for Hoglnder, and his $3m contract doesn't cut in until next season. So any team acquiring him, is getting him for the rest of this season at just over $1m a season.

With Canucks having more holes in their blueline that Swiss cheese, Hoglander may have to sacrificed to shore it up.

I knew he wouldn’t match his shooting percentage from last year, but I thought he’d get more opportunity in the top 9 and with it more shots to maybe have a 20-20 season even at a 13-14% shooting percentage. But more than that I think he just hasn’t been quite the consistent buzz saw we saw last year

 

[HairyKneel]

It's 14 games. Whether he fits or not is a different conversation. He's 24, by all accounts, a bundle of energy and a popular teammate that has a decent play level as a kid and works his ass off. He scored 24 goals last year at ES. He has averaged 17 per 82 at 12 min TOI, and no PP time. His takeaways to giveaways is solid. Yet you have people who want to run him out of town. Same outfit hates Pettersson because he's a bit chilly.

Bring back Loui Eriksson.

Hoglander has been doing cardio this season, honestly I thought he would be better than this.

Salient points my guy.
