Predators Acquire F Nils Hoglander From Canucks
The 25-year-old winger had 2 goals and 3 assists in 38 games last season and offers Nashville a low-risk scoring rebound.
On Monday, June 29, 2026, the Nashville Predators acquired forward Nils Hoglander from the Vancouver Canucks in exchange for a 2029 third-round draft pick.
Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Chris MacFarland orchestrated this trade, marking his fourth player acquisition since assuming the role on June 2.
Hoglander, a 25-year-old left-handed winger, tallied 60 goals and 60 assists over 331 career games and is known for a "relentless, high-energy style of play," MacFarland said.
Seeking a fresh start after an injury-shortened 2025-26 season, the forward aims to regain his scoring touch while providing depth on the Predators' third line.
With free agency beginning July 1, MacFarland continues reshaping a roster that missed the playoffs the past two seasons, signaling further potential moves ahead.
