Rumor: Dhaliwal- Lots of Teams calling the Canucks on Nils Hoglander

[UrbanImpact]

Very good rookie season for Hoglander last year. This season, he has stagnated and still needs a lot of work defensively and play without the puck. His ice-time has been cut short and the coach isnt trusting him with regular shifts during the 3rd period if the game is close.

To me it looks like growing pains and sophmore slump. He loosk ultra dangerous whenevr he has the puck. His skating is sublime and he has pest like qualities.

I think the Canucks would regret trading Hoglander.

Just to clarify though, its teams calling the Canucks for Hoglander, not Canucks shopping him around. Its well known that Hoglander and Pettersson and are very good friends of the ice, and one would think the Canucks arent going to rock the boat with Pettersson by trading Hoglander especially when they have to negotiate a long term contract with Pettersson soon.





Since lacrosse goals are en vogue, just a quick reminder of Hoglanders skill level

Don't really want to trade him, but if they can offload capspace in a deal, then sure.

 

[Cogburn]

These teams probably won't like the price. He's ELC and and has a lot of untapped potential, we are better off keeping him compared to any realistic return.

 

[kanucks25]

Would hate to move him before he reaches his potential.

It would have to be 1-for-1 deal for a D-man of similar age that has real top-4 potential.

He's a Judd Bracket pick I believe, I can see a team like Minny be very into him now that they have Bracket but also more because they will be looking for ELC players that can produce with the incoming dead cap era for them.

For those not in the Vancouver market, Dhali is no longer a trusted source. He's been essentially listing every player not named Demko and Hughes as possible trade targets.

 

[Nucker101]

I’ll be in shambles if Hog is traded

 

[AfroThunder396]

I can't imagine them trading an ELC given their cap situation.

That’s no true… he’s been hell bent on Canucks not trading halak either.

Does seem like the Canucks are both in on everyone and trying to trade everyone away at the same time lol.

Seems strange but could also be true: brand new management team doing their due diligence. You would want them to explore every avenue.

Yeah right, rick is 100% best insider in vancouver, and one of the best in nhl

I just created a thread trade proposal for Hague. Same draft.

lol what?

Dhaliwal is probably the most connected insider on the Canucks, more so than national guys like Friedman, Dreger etc..

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

 

[Bubbles]

Has Dhali actually broken news?? He's been naming every Canuck for months now. Even the Benning firing was broken by Friedman first.

 

[LeProspector]

Senators could offer up Jacob Bernard Docker.

Similar age RHD that is about to break though but is seen as expendable by some Sens fans?

That would be the type of 1 for 1 Trade the Canucks might be looking at if they are trading Hoglander.

Though I'm not specifically talking about JBD as I cant say ive seen enough of him to measure if thats an even trade.

The other option I can see is attaching Hoglander with someone like Myers to gain cap space.

When Burke moved to the media he explained that he gets calls all the time on players. And get would call other GMs just to stay in the know. Like 90% of the calls lead to nothing but still have to make them and take them.

just part of the business.

I had a thought of Brannstrom/JBD + Zaitsev + TB 2nd for Hollander + Myers. Probably doesnt make sense but fun to think about.

 

[SEALBound]

Teams can be calling but it doesn't mean JR wants to move him. Can't imagine why he would unless the package is significant.

Or am I off base here Canucks fans? Seems like he's part of the future.

 

[Breakers]

Trade a promising rookie because the coach doesn’t like him

If boudreau applied the same critiques to players paid 8x as much like Horvat now that would be a sight
5v5 scoring over the past 2 seasons

1st: JT Miller
2nd: Hoglander

Only way we’d trade him is for a Young similarly valued dman!

Rangers in a Kravtsov deal please

Dhaliwal has connects to a few agents who likes to do business through the media, other than that, he's just another rumour mill guy who desperately needs eyes and ears to his show.
