BOUDREAU SHIFTS EKMAN-LARSSON TO RIGHT DEFENCE AND REQUESTS HOGLANDER BE TRADED

Stop shouting

Lol when’s the last time a coach demanded for a young player to be traded? Hoglander isn’t a bad player or person, stop shouting

Boudreau has hinted this last season that Hoglander needs to learn how to play defence in the NHL so I do not think he is one of the coach's favourites.

The Canucks need to unload him before his value drops more like Miller.......Canucks need bigger forwards and are too small in size with both Hoglander and Garland in the lineup.

Boudreau said he needs to work on defense. Don’t you think as a coach, Boudreau should be the one helping Hoglander to improve? What kind of nonsense logic is that. If a player needs to get better, the coach is supposed to help them get better, not request them to get traded….

You and I both know that the Canucks presently have a problem as they are carrying 14 NHL forwards assuming Lockwood is now also an NHL forward...........Something has to give.

Hoglander is not going to play on the Canucks first or second line and he certainly will not be playing on the Canucks 3rd line which is going to be their shutdown line and I just do not see him as a 4th line energy type of forward like Lockwood, Lazar or Dakota so I think he is going to get moved out before the season starts.
