Heres first two Hogger threads:

Prospect Info: - Nils Höglander
Prospect Info: - 2019 40th overall: Vancouver selects Nils Höglander (LW, Rögle BK)

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Love me some Hoglander. Big goal and assist today. Such a steal for his draft position.

 

[Blue and Green]

Tied for 5th in even strength points among rookies. Of the other nine players in the top 10, only Stuetzle is younger, Ty Smith is nine months older and the other seven are anywhere from 17 months to 3 years older.

For a guy who gets zero time on the pp or in OT, Hoglander is beyond impressive. One of the hardest things to do in the NHL is score five-on-five goals.

A kid who just turned 20 in December and a fixture in the top six from the drop of the puck this season. How can you ask for any more than that.

Hoglander does get PP time but carry on...

He's outperformed/outproduced every player in the 2019 draft class outside of the 1st OA pick. What a steal

Is he as hard on pucks as I see, or is that just my fanboy glasses? He just impresses me as a tough little nut. He’s slippery too; like a greased Hog.

A Calder for Podkolzin, with Rathbone in the running ...

Hoglander's rookie season thus far:

Wrong animal. Studs a horse.

So...

Boar?

Full Boar should be his nickname.

 

[Petey O]

Full Boar should be his nickname.

I like it actually

 

[Quinning]

In an otherwise dismal season, he has been a big success story.

 

[valkynax]

Full Boar should be his nickname.

It's gotta be "Hog Rider".

 

[BWJM]

We've had a fantastic few years of calder calibre players.

Have we had similar stretch in our 50 years?

 

[Get North]

We haven't. That's why Benning is still employed. Once his trades/signings improve we will see a Stanley Cup in Vancouver.

 

[Buresflyingelbow]

Nickname please add “Piggy” as a option

 

[WetcoastOrca]

No we haven’t. Which really makes you wonder where the team would be right now if Benning had acquired more picks instead of trading them away.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

He’s certainly bagged some clutch goals against Toronto specifically this year - you love to see it.

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

It remains a mystery why the swelled-heads of Hogtown didn't draft him. It would have been a marketing coup.
