Brandon Hagel

Sorry the site just showed the best lineups based on expected stats with his line only appearing twice there.

What are the other lines hes played with? How would I find that on moneypuck?

Hagel is having a great year but its a career year at 62 pts in 55 games. He needs to show he can be a ppg player longer before he passes nylander as a player whose been top 10 in winger scoring for 3-4 seasons now.

As a value asset hagel is worth a fair bit more than Nypander due to contracts

I'm not sure how moneypuck works, so can't help you there. Hagel has played the year mostly with Cirelli, the third player on that line has been on a carousel, a lot of Nick Paul, but basically everyone.

You're comparing apples to oranges. Hagel is probably the best defensive winger in the game, while Nylander doesn't touch the ice on the PK. Their opportunities, linemates, and deployment is very different. The fact is, Hagel is a ppg player even if he doesn't see the PP at all, and there are very few forwards in the game who can say that.
 
Better question is why didn’t Chicago keep him? He’d be perfect on Bedard’s wing. I think the Hawks burned things down a tad too much and put Bedard in a position where he’s relied upon too heavily for a first/second year undersized player.

The Hawks tossed Hagel, Dach and Debrincat, plus Kane at the deadline, and STILL did not even achieve their goal of finishing last.

Now, the hockey gods blessed them with a lottery win from 3rd last in the standings, but they were only one point worse than San Jose.

If Hagel is still on that team, there’s a pretty good chance they push at least one close regulation loss to OT, and then they miss out on Bedard.

Blackhawks fans loved Hagel. But like the others, he didn't fit the Blackhawks new timeline once they started a rebuild. We’re all happy he’s doing well with a great organization with Tampa.
 
8 year $6.5M AAV contract.

Signed through 2032.

He's 26, Cirelli is 27.

Cirelli $6.25M AAV until 2031.
Tampa Bay on top of being a no tax signed great players to long term amazing contracts.

Honestly great contract for Hagel.

I saw some statements from the start of this thread
I would rather have Nylander the player.
Give me Hagels contract though.
 
Hes a bit worse than nylander but better contract. He plays with Kucherov the 2nd-4th best player in the league.

Hes a complimentary offensive player on his line vs nylander having to be main driver of offense for his line.

Leafs should have done the knies + 1st deal back in 2022 for Hagel + MAF

If not Knies throw 3 1sts. Hagel is a stud.

Anyways praying for leafs vs tampa R3 to see who can take break the 1-1 playoff tie at the moment. Should ve a good 7 game series

Nylander has Matthews and Marner carrying him on the same line and PP1 yet he's scoring less than Hagel LOL

Then I guess Hagel has kucherov and Guentzel carrying him on the same line too lol, he’s spent more time with them.

Moreover why are you acting like Hagel doesn’t play PP1 either? He’s played 160 minutes vs nylanders 180.

Nylander spent as much time with either of Matthews or Marner (~130 minutes) as he has with Kampf and Holmberg, those two have a combined 5G 10A 15P. He’s mostly played with JT and either McMann or Patches.

you wanna argue hagels better? Go for it, but don’t make shit up

I think bottom line is that Nylander has got better offensive linemates.

I’m actually not too sure about that

Nylander’s most common linemates are indeed patches and Tavares

Hagels are cirelli and one of Geekie or kucherov

Tavares and Cirelli is gonna favour nylander, and patches is a near 30 point fourth liner and while geekie is producing under even that, he also gets spent equal amounts of time with kucherov, so that would essentially even out

They have very equal linemates.

Of his ~900 5v5 minutes, I bet less than 50 of that is with Kucherov.

Edit: He does spend more time with Kucherov than I thought 5v5 ~230 minutes
