Alright Hogs.. light it the f*** up

 

[Pip]

We have entered crazyville

 

[God]

Puzzling, but his career will probably be on the right track down there with more playing time instead of getting dicked around by Boudreau, whose treatment of players like him and Garland are puzzling considering he was exactly like them in his playing days.

First reaction is that this is dumb.

Second reaction is if they’re questionable to be able to dress 6 defenders tonight after Stillman’s injury and if someone else has a problem that Hoglander is the only guy they can really send down after the game the 4th line had last night.

And if Hoglander isn’t playing tonight, might as well give him the AHL game in Seattle tomorrow.

I’d rather see Hoglander play defense than watch Juulsen defend or throw 10 IQ passes into the opposing team’s obvious trap

Also, in the medium term, they aren’t gonna trade hogs because what little value he had just went.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Bruce doesn't like or trust Hoglander and we are watching a players development getting derailed before our very eyes. I get the sense management also wants to trade him.

At this rate this guy will be traded for a medicore return.

I think it’s this. Hughes wasn’t at the optional skate. No update on Stillman. Poolman stayed late, indicating he’s not good to go.

That they called up Juulsen and not a forward indicates this is more about making the simplest move rather than an actual indication of where they want him.

 

[Get North]

Meh. Something needed to happen, it's not like we're short of "skilled forwards". This team has very little sandpaper and it's management's fault because we knew this problem before the season started.

It's a bunch of kids, Pearson, Miller, etc. It's a fact that players like Beagle and Motte had better work ethic. That's how they made a career in the NHL, with work ethic, not skill. That's what this team needs more of, hard working and simple hockey. Like the Old New Jersey Devils. Defence and disciplined hockey will win games.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Not much choice in order to ice a full defense

Yup.

I suspect Stillman and Poolman are out and someone else is a game-time decision so they need an extra body just in case, and this is the only logical way to do it.

I can’t believe I used “indicate” three times in one post…

 

[CalderSchmalder]

This Jannik Hansen quote is from February but I still agree with him. Hoglander can learn to be a better 200 foot player while getting more ice time in Abby.

 

[Vector]

Like I said.

 

[timw33]

Path of least resistance move, Hoglander gets burned for waiver exempt status.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Meh. He can’t finish at an NHL level. He was given a chance. Now he has to earn it back or be an AHLer for his career. He has a real hard time putting the puck in the net.

 

[wonton15]

I think Hoglander should go back to wearing #36. Wearing Eriksson/Raymond’s 21 is affecting his finishing ability

 

[Canucks LB]

So basically, Dhaliwal decided to piss everybody off for fun

 

[m9]

You can call it a paper transaction and maybe it is.. but Hoglander being a healthy scratch again while other guys in the top nine are floundering is a really bad sign.

Will say it again - there should still be value for this player, especially on that contract. I would look to move on sooner than later.

 

[iceburg]

Only on these boards can there be outrage at sending a bottom 6 forward to the minors after the team goes winless in their first 5 games.

Oh well, sounds like a logistical thing anyway.

When you phrase it incorrectly like that then sure it seems stupid. But I think almost everyone whose watched the first five games would agree that Hoglander has easily been one of the top 6-9 forwards on the team, so if the Canucks were actually sending him down due to performance (which they aren’t as it’s a “paper transaction”) there would be good reason for some “outrage”.
