Carol Schram: Canucks prospect Nils Hoglander to miss World Junior Summer Showcase A top Vancouver Canucks prospect will be missing from this year's World Junior Summer Showcase. It has been announced that Nils Hoglander will not be suiting up for Team Sweden.

Thanks Carol, you fine piece of A!

Shout out to all the pom-pommers and Special K gang...

Thanks Carol for keeping us entertained throughout the summer.

I read a tweet translated from Swedish article saying Hoglander talked to Canucks and they said stay home because he had already been over for combine and the drafted and coming over 3 times in short period of time was too much.

ASL's d!ck posts are getting... bigger.

I bet hoagie is close to nhl ready, how long is he commited to the shl 2 years? can he get out?

There is typically an out clause for players in the SHL who's rights are owned by NHL teams. I think we could see him at the end of this SHL season possibly or I expect him to try and make the team next year and return to the SHL if he fails to earn a spot on the Canucks out of camp.

@EricFrancis
Can confirm deal to send James Neal to Edm for Milan Lucic isn’t done yet, but is close. Oilers would include a conditional draft pick and retain some of Lucic’s salary when its completed

Lucic plus pick (salary retained) to Cgy for Neal

So funny Redmile was in here promoting Lucic moving and I said just a few hours South. Who knew a funny joke would come true for him.

Cant wait to see how Cgy spins this.

I saw the logic of trading him to Van for Loui, before we added some muscle in the offseason.
But man, happy we didn't have to go down that route.

Kind of wish he was traded out of the division and back to the East.

Two players that mean nothing to each team. Did the something last year spooner for Gagner

Neal will have a better year than lucic

Already seeing it....."Tkachuk can leave all the greasy work to Lucic now".....oh man...

Now with Trouba signed, does that mean the flawless rebuild Rangers are in a "Kap Krunch"......lets see the Special K gang defend that...

People don't believe me when I use my pay scale for NHL defencemen

#1 9 million plus
#2 8 million
#3 7 million
#4 6 million.

Myers stats and everything say that he's a good 4/5 D man. Benning paid normally price.

Let’s not get carried away here ...remember you cheer for the canucks ....maybe chirp when all these off season moved actually end in more than drafting 9th overall

Trouba 8milX7
Shattenkirk 6.6X2
Staal 5.7X2
Skjei 5.3X5
B.Smith 4.7X2

Thats one disgustingly overpaid D core + 0$ left to sign DeAngelo their top offensive Dman last year and Buchnevich, who's a top 6 winger. What an incredible rebuild!
