The Nashville Predators acquired forward Nils Hoglander from the Vancouver Canucks on Monday in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2029 NHL Draft.
Predators’ New Addition
Hoglander, 25, has two seasons remaining on a three-year, $9 million contract he signed with Vancouver in October 2024. He had two goals and three assists in 38 games last season.
Predators president of hockey operations and general manager Chris MacFarland said, “We are excited to add Nils Hoglander to our mix. He is a 25-year-old experienced winger who is known for his relentless, high-energy style of play, bringing a consistent motor to the lineup night after night. We believe the player can come in and have a key role.”
Hoglander has accumulated 120 points (60 goals, 60 assists) in 331 career games since the Canucks drafted him in the second round in 2019.
