Nils Hoglander has a fun name. Let’s just start right there. It’s fun. It’s neat. It’s different. And after all of the excitement over Cale “Kale” Makar, how can you not like a prospect with a fun name?
Ok, now that we got that out of the way, let’s talk about Hoglander. He’s a Swedish born left winger. He comes in at 5’9” and 185 pounds making him a bit on the small side. As we’ve seen with the Lightning though, small size in a forward isn’t a problem. He’s got a lot of speed and is a hard worker on the ice.
