The Vancouver Canucks may not have a breakout star within their rookie ranks this year, but Nils Hoglander, Zack MacEwen and Olli Juolevi are all exceeding expectations early on.
Hoglander is all anyone has been talking about since training camp and for good reason. The 20-year-old Swedish winger used his speed, skill and relentless attack of the puck to earn himself a roster spot on a line next to Bo Horvat and Tanner Pearson.
