Fun stat: Brandon Hagel is leading the entire league in ES Points/60

I wonder how much him not playing center and being a Bolt hurts his chances at the Selke. Last year he deserved some recognition and essentially got none of it.

Hot take, he’s a super star and is on that rung of elite players right outside the big 3.

We have the most goals for in the entire division (112) with at least two games in hand on everybody. We’re second in the division in goals against (82). The +30 goal differential puts us second in the East, third in the league. Our PP is third in the league, our PK is average at 16th.

We’re doing alright!

By GD, we're smoking the Atlantic right now. Florida and Toronto are each only +9. This should bode well for us moving forward.

But wait a second... i was told that we were doing so poorly that we needed to fire our head coach? Why was i lied to? Why have I been deceived? Are we actually doing well with John Cooper? Was that one guy wanting a nut busting head coach wrong after all?

Guys Habs fan here...quick question....It's trade time for my pool....and I have to choose amongst Hagel and Guentzel. Hagel is insane on ES...but Guentzel gets more points and pp time no? So...who would you choose for a pool between those 2 great players. Thanks.

Guentzel has started to find chemistry on the top line so if he can keep this up it would probably be Guentzel, also both are on PP1 currently but neither are really incorporated that much into how it runs but would still say Guentzel is more involved than Hagel currently. In a real game I would rather have Hagel but in Fantasy I would go Guentzel right now

If it's just straight scoring, Guentzel. He's probably going to finish with more points and more goals.

Hagel's been on a good hot stretch, but his linemates likely won't be as strong. I think Guentzel will eventually overtake him in points.

One thing on Hagel's side though, if I'm not mistaken he's actually 2nd in TOI among forwards right now, because he's being used on all situations.
