Canucks Rumors: 3 Teams Linked to Nils Hoglander

According to NHL insider Kevin Weekes, Vancouver Canucks forward Nils Hoglander is generating trade interest. In addition, Weekes reported that the Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Columbus Blue Jackets are three specific teams who have expressed interest in the young forward. 
 

Hoglander, 23, would be more than a rental for any team that acquires him, as he has a three-year, $9 million contract extension that kicks in during the 2025-26 season. 

Hoglander broke out this past season, as he set new career highs with 24 goals and 36 points in 80 games played. However, he has had a bit of a tough start to the 2024-25 campaign, as he has two goals, three assists, and a minus-3 rating in 21 games played so far. 

 

However, even with the slow start to the season, it is easy to understand why he is starting to generate interest. He showed last season that he has the potential to be a solid scorer.
 

It will be interesting to see what the Canucks do with Hoglander from here, but the Capitals, Penguins, and Blue Jackets are three clear teams to watch in the sweepstakes.

CBJ probably already declined something like that from us given who else is reportedly competing in trade.

 

Given our F depth I’d be ok with this though.

Cant overpay like crazy for potential. He's currently in the AHL. 

[Elias Pettersson]

Columbus is interested so obviously an offer is on the table.  Most likely they want a 1st and Hoglander plus another prospect or roster player.  We could always expand the trade to include other pieces on both sides.  If we have to give up a 1st then I'd like to address at least two needs on the team...

Agreed. But some teams will covet it and have better assets than we do to obtain it.

Yeah man! That’s what I was hoping could happen. Some juicy pieces on CBJ. Dream scenario for me would be for us to somehow scoop Cole Sillinger too. Dream big, right?

At very least they can supply some immediate assistance with our current needs.

Probably still pretty good, particularly if we are getting a ufa back. Hogs is definitely a bounce back candidate.

 

Dubas should take this and run for M.P.

He could be a bounce back candidate., though last season's shooting percentage of 20% was well over his career average and he's more than come back down to earth thus far. 24 next month, could be fair value for 3M but isn't guaranteed to be great value. 2 goals and 5 points through 21 games doesn't sell his upside imo, and his average ice time thus far is roughly what it's been the past couple seasons. 

 

Last season is currently looking more like an outlier than his having leveled up, plenty of season left to change that narrative but that's how it looks right now imo. I think he could be the 10+ goal guy he's been a few times now, but I'm not sold on him being a regular 20+ goal guy. I suppose it depends on the opportunities he gets, he's got a number of guys ahead of him for powerplay time here when our top six is healthy but he also hasn't done enough to bump anyone ahead of him. I can see why teams might kick the tires on him as a buy low candidate, but I do think his value's probably taken a hit.

seems like an outrageous price to pay for a huge question mark. 

 

if you're getting jiricek, it better be a bargain because columbus is selling low.

Where’d you hear they’re selling low?

Definitely a huge overpay.

 

If Lekk alone can’t get it done you walk away.

 

Lekk and a first is the price you pay for an established D like Byram not an unproven prospect.

when you demote your star prospect to the ahl and let the league know he's available, you're selling low.

Rumor is they wanted Willander and we turned that down. Good thing. They have similar rankings, but Willander is still improving while Jiricek is in decline.

I mean it’s all part of negotiation. Of course they would ask for our best prospect first.

 

Just testing to see the desperation of our GM. If they actually wanna negotiate they’ll have to lower that price.

Jiri is not our guy 

we don’t need a project we need a d man who can stabilize a 2nd pair

We could add both in theory though.

 

His cap hit is only like 900k so he would upgrade someone like Juulsen.

Disagree. A 15th and 20th for 6th RHD sounds about right to me.
