With the Hlinka Gretzky Cup next up in terms of great hockey tournaments this year, a surprising discovery was regarding Vancouver Canucks 2019 fortieth overall selection, Nils Hoglander. Hoglander announced that he will not be playing in the tournament in favour of training this summer for the upcoming season. Safe to say then that Hoglander is planning on making a big step forward in 2019/20, but where?
Last season, Hoglander played with Rogle BK in the SHL as a Draft -1 forward and finished with 7 goals and 14 points in 50 games played.
