Would you like one of Jokiharju, Clifton or Samuelsson?
I'm a Canucks fan, but I don't think any of those would be of much interest to Allvin.

I think I would do Höglander and a second, but not a first.Seems like Marcus Pettersson will be one of the best UFAs on the trade block this deadline and also he's the age where signing him for 5-6 years would probably be the best deal you are getting for a D in UFA.
Dubas is the GM, so I bet we get crushed in the trade, but he should return more.
If Vancouver gives up their 1st and Hoglander, I'd be stoked on that return.

Hoglander even though he’s a frustrating player, has sky high potential
He also has a 3 x 3 deal upcoming and is regularly getting scratched.
Hoglander is just there for cap purposes.
Hoglander has played every game this year, and he played 80 games last year, missing 2 to a facial injury.
I don't think he's been scratched for nearly 2 years now?
The Penguins are not exactly rebuilding, they're re-tooling, no? Teams like that are looking for contributing players, not picks or prospects. And that's precisely why Hoglander fits the bill - he clearly has ability to play, he's not consistent in his production/performance, and players like him get moved all the time in trades because that's what teams are willing to trade/take flyers on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A similar player in Brannstrom wasn't tendered a QO in Ottawa, went to Colorado, didn't perform well, and got traded to Vancouver... and it's working here.
It's also not about Hoglander being a massively valuable piece. It's just the reality of what to expect in return for a UFA. Teams aren't going to give up good young players for UFAs. Two seasons ago, a few posters on the Canucks board created trade target lists of 22-25 year old players who weren't exactly untouchables yet due to consistency/performance issues, and one of them was Filip Hronek. That's paid off, but it could've easily been worse for the Canucks if they had targeted someone else. Other players were Newhook and Kotkaniemi. Hoglander is probably on a list like that for tons of teams.
So, on a very good team Hoglander is putting up Rakell, Bunting and Beau numbers? At 23 he's not all of a sudden going to be a bonafide top 6 player and we have tons of middle 6 players that can't contribute enough as it is.
I'd rather picks and or prospects instead of seeing him suffer on this shit team and shit coach. A player like Hoglander at his age is not going to be anything more than a decent roster spot for the next 3+ years, unless the plan is to flip him next year, after Sullivan ruins him, for an underwhelming return.
If Hoglander isn't this massively valuable piece, it also means he's not pulling off Pettersson straight up. Pettersson is the best rental defenseman on the market and is very likely pulling off a 1st in value. If Hoglander doesn't have that value, then a 1 for 1 deal isn't going to cut it.
He's basically just a grittier Kapanen. I wouldn't hate to trade for him but he better be coming with a solid futures package as well.

It’s Mynio, but that’s probably pretty close in value.I'd expect it to be Hoglander, a B prospect like Myrio and a 2nd for Pettersson if Hoglander would be included.
Guess who Tocchet's mentor wasIf you can get Hoglander on the cheap I'd advise to do so. I expect him to thrive once he gets way from the Canucks coach Rick Tocchet.

Any team hearing Pettersson for just a 1st should shut up and be grateful.That's because we know Dubas is gonna screw it up
Hoglander is coming off a 24 goal year as a 22 year old. The whole team has had a rough start, Hoglander is playing fine.
Are any of the players you named a similar age to Hoglander? Had any of them even made the NHL by the age Hoglander had a 24 goal season?
Yes and all 24 of those goals were even strength. He couldn't get on the power play to save his life.Hoglander is coming off a 24 goal year as a 22 year old. The whole team has had a rough start, Hoglander is playing fine.

24 goals on 20% shooting, so last year was his outlier year, as he is not a 20% shooter and is currently down to 9.5 now... This is a hard no for me personally, I'd rather take a chance on picks and prospects than another player that we have multiple copies of right now.
Pettersson will likely be the most sought-after dman on the trade market come TDL time. Super workable contract as well.Why would the assumption be that things would be any different with Pettersson though?
Guentzel is also a much better player than Pettersson, we're talking a 1W vs a 2nd pair D.
I suggested 1st+4th as a reasonable value, same thing with Pettersson+2nd for Pettersson straight up.There’s Pens fans in this thread suggesting Pettersson returns what Guentzel got last year. This is what I was referring to when I said this feels like last year all over again. A late 1st and small add or 2nd and “b” prospect is his likely worth.
Rakell and Beau both have
Lol nope.Petterson
O'Connor
For
Garland
Vancouver 1st
Woo
We don't Hoglander unless its for cap.. We will just trade him to any other team that wants the best LD on the market for a run.Lol nope.
Hoglander 1 for 1
