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

This has always been confusing, it seems there's a disconnect between the coaches and management on the player. I'm somewhat surprised they didn't move off him after seeing how Tocchet utilized him in the playoffs. He's always been fairly one-dimensional and seems to have settled into that area in terms of development. He's not a guy I'd think would suddenly "figure things out".

I doubt he's worth very much now given the contract and current state of play.

While I think communications between management and coach are important, I think management needs to ultimately made the call especially when it comes to a younger home grown talent like Hoglander. With a player like Sprong you can listen more to your coach.

I think the idea is that Hoglander has the work ethic and Hockey IQ to "figure things out."

Looking like Allvin stubbed his toe on this one. But if history is any guide, he doesn't let contract mistakes 'linger'.

That's the reason I'd be surprised if Hoglander finishes the season in Vancouver.
