Probably the most expensive guy we've had currently slotted on our 4th line in a few years... but this time it's because of depth, and he's being paid for what he can most likely do.
No issues with this contract. Young and hopefully gets a couple years of his prime for 3mil.

24 goals last year. They are expecting him to be a perennial 20 goal guy. If he can do that at $3m, that's great value. He has always had potential.

Even if he dips to 15 that's still a solid deal.
I assume if he gets any pp time it's 2nd unit ?
15- 20 goals(or more) for 3 mill is a good deal.
If something happens and he just f***ing sucks you have him for 2 more years, you can bury at least 1/3rd of it and in all likelihood deal him for another player, similar term.and dollar and try again.

Another amazing move by general manager Patrick Allvin. I got to keep my eye on this guy, everytime I turn away he pulls magic. Hoglander was a very useful player last year. Has all the talent in the world, just needs to earn the trust of his head coach Rick Tochett.
I like this.

Good signing, easy to bet on him as a player.
Hogs obviously rode a high shooting g percentage last year but given his minutes and role for most of the year (4th line for most before moving next to Pettersson only after Pettersson slowed down), I think he can still be a really effective 5v5 scorer/pest/energy guy even as that shooting percentage goes down. One of those deals though where I think he’s worth it but it might not be the best fit if he can’t find a consistent role.

Just never was a huge fan, I hope I am wrong, I don’t think he’s a bad player, I just don’t think he’s a top six player

He’s more of a bottom 6 energy guy with a middle 6 scoring ability

With the cap expected to rise significantly over the next few seasons it’s hard to envision this contract not working out.

Don't middle 6 players make more than $3mill a season anyways? If Hoglander plateaus as a 15-15 guy who scores almost entirely 5on5 and has strong metrics, it's still a good deal.

Top six players don't sign for $3m anyways

24 goals and a pest of a player to play against. Smart move by Van to get him signed at such a good number for three years (after this one). Kid will likely way exceed that AAV. Heck 24 goals way exceeds that number.
The kid scored 24 five on five goals last season averaging less than 12 min/game, while playing a style that made him hated by the other clubs. 24 goal scoring pests are hard to find for that dollar.

Good deal for Vancouver to get Nils Hoglander locked down to an extension early.
This could be a huge season for Nils.

Lets see if he can keep up his shooting %
He was 6th overall in the NHL
Dakota Joshua was 2nd overall in the NHL
Hoglanders 3 previous seasons were 10%, 7%, 11%
He doubled it last year

The only problem with that is if Garland-Joshua gets together again then he’s either top 6 or 4th line. Though maybe he stays with Garland and Joshua can move to the Miller line
He’s obviously not. But he also averaged only 12 min per game and played a lot on the 4th line. He won’t score 20+ in the same role again, but the question is whether he can in a bigger one

Doubtful but as both are depth role players they don’t need to. Anyone in the league would be hard pressed to sustain a 20% shooting percentage. Both provide more than goals so it’s not really much of a loss for a regression in shooting percentage.
