2023 Fantasy Outlook
Hoglander found himself shuffled out of the Canucks' lineup in 2022-23, seemingly getting passed by Andrei Kuzmenko on the depth chart. Still just 22 years old, there's time for Hoglander to reclaim his place in the Canucks' long-term plans, though it's unclear where he'll slot in for 2023-24. The winger had 27 points in 56 games in 2020-21 as a rookie, so there's 40-point potential here, but his ice time has steadily dropped since then, and he won't be of much use to fantasy managers if he can't get back in the top six. Hoglander will likely need a strong camp to get back on the radar in most fantasy formats. Read Past Outlooks

Tickles twine in win

Hoglander scored a goal, added four PIM and notched two hits in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Flames.
ANALYSIS
Hoglander snapped a five-game goal drought with his first-period tally, which was the game-winner. He had just one helper during that slump. The 23-year-old winger is up to 24 goals, 36 points, 119 shots on net, 100 hits, 51 PIM and a plus-23 rating through 79 appearances. His ice time rarely matches up with his top-line role at even strength, but Hoglander has been productive despite the limited usage.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Facing potential discipline
LWVancouver Canucks
November 21, 2023
Hoglander could be hit with a suspension following his slew foot against San Jose's Kevin Labanc on Monday that earned Hoglander a five-minute major and 10-minute match penalty, Rick Dhaliwal of CHEK television reports.
ANALYSIS
Hoglander extended his three-game point streak before being tossed from the game after playing just 8:10 of ice time. With Labanc seemingly having avoided a serious injury, that could work in Hoglander's favor when the Department of Player Safety reviews the situation. If Hoglander does miss any time, the Canucks will likely need to call a player up from the minors, unless Pius Suter can return from his undisclosed injury.

2020
Another victim of the dreaded "sophomore slump," Hoglander played just 60 games before core muscle/groin surgery ended his year. He wasn't effective when healthy, managing just 10 goals and 18 points. Hoglander's average ice time dropped by 2:20 per game, while his time with the man advantage dipped by 26 seconds per contest. The Swede has time on his side considering he won't turn 22 until right before Christmas, but there were enough red flags a season ago to make Hoglander nothing more than a late-round dart throw in redraft formats this upcoming year.
Despite a quick ascension to the NHL, Hoglander looked like he belonged with 13 goals and 14 assists in 56 games last season. The Swede saw regular top-six usage and some power-play time among a talented forward group, although he produced only one goal with the man advantage. Entering his second campaign, there's room for Hoglander to grow on the wing of either Elias Pettersson or Bo Horvat. Hoglander should produce at a 40-50 point pace while pumping nearly two shots on goal per game. He won't be much of a physical presence, but he can be solid as a pure-scoring presence, giving him appeal in standard redraft and dynasty formats alike.
Hoglander played last season with Rogle BK of the SHL, where he had a modest 16 points in 41 contests in the top-tier Swedish league. A second-round pick from 2019, Hoglander will compete for a roster spot in training camp ahead of the 2020-21 season, but the Canucks will likely want the forward prospect to see meaningful minutes if he sticks with the parent club. It's a boom-or-bust situation for Hoglander, who could skate as high as the second line in the spot left behind by Tyler Toffoli's departure for Montreal. It's also possible Hoglander can't keep up with the NHL's pace at 20 years old and spends the rest of the year with AHL Utica or back in his native Sweden. A savvy play-making winger, Hoglander is worth a look in dynasty formats, but fantasy managers may have to wait until next year to get a return on their investment.
