I could care less where he goes. I prefer CHL players to college players but it's style of play and potential that I am looking for. Hagens has continued to drop and did not produce as he was projected to do this year. Yes I know he is a point a game player but more development seems to have been expected from most of the scouting services.Why is it a big deal Hagens goes to BC? He’s a big time prospect. How do you pass that up? Especially when he solves your biggest need; young stud center.
The question for me is simple how will Haggens game translate to the NHL ???. This is the question with all prospectsWhy is it a big deal Hagens goes to BC? He’s a big time prospect. How do you pass that up? Especially when he solves your biggest need; young stud center.
Yeah those 5 goals in 9 points in 7 games was so disappointing.I could care less where he goes. I prefer CHL players to college players but it's style of play and potential that I am looking for.

I probably wouldn’t. He is really good though. He has to be worth at least 7 mil. Might be looking at more if someone puts in an offer sheet. What if someone offers him 9.5? Can the leafs even match that?Would anyone here offer sheet Knies from Toronto with the compensation being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knowing we might suck next year and lose out on decent 1st, 2nd and 3rd round prospect? I'd consider it but it's a dangerous move to make given our circumstances.
I wouldn’t, both because of the comp and because Toronto would match anyway and I don’t want to start all that with them.Would anyone here offer sheet Knies from Toronto with the compensation being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knowing we might suck next year and lose out on decent 1st, 2nd and 3rd round prospect? I'd consider it but it's a dangerous move to make given our circumstances. Edited to add: do we need to get our own second rnd draft pick back from Washington if we were to do this? We own two 2nds in 2026, neither of them ours

A middling team with potential could though. Like the wild.
No question, especially having the Leafs first next year and just to put a little pressure on them with Marner and Taveras hitting free agency as wellWould anyone here offer sheet Knies from Toronto with the compensation being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knowing we might suck next year and lose out on decent 1st, 2nd and 3rd round prospect?

What if next years first is really high again?No question, especially having the Leafs first next year and just to put a little pressure on them with Marner and Taveras hitting free agency as well
LolWhat if next years first is really high again?
Well, he better sober up before the Draft.!What if next years first is really high again?
Imagine if they land misa or shaefele? Makes me moist thinking about it.
They need their second back but I would offer sheet Knies in a heartbeat. Potential 30 goal scorer who hits and is fast, just the type of winger they needWould anyone here offer sheet Knies from Toronto with the compensation being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knowing we might suck next year and lose out on decent 1st, 2nd and 3rd round prospect?

I think they would be ok for 2026They need their second back but I would offer sheet Knies in a heartbeat. Potential 30 goal scorer who hits and is fast, just the type of winger they need

The part that’s cut off at the end is “goalie-friendly NCAA”. Which is absolutely true.
heard the other day that knies' camp is asking for over $8M a year right now, FWIWWould anyone here offer sheet Knies from Toronto with the compensation being 1st, 2nd, and 3rd knowing we might suck next year and lose out on decent 1st, 2nd and 3rd round prospect?

Have you heard that he’s 5’11 though?The Greek wrote that like it's google translated.
The primary assists aren't really a surprise. All you have do is have watch a single game of his and the ridiculous passes are quite evident. So is the unmentioned penchant for takeaways. The dude looks like an absolute nightmare to play against - just isn't bighuge, though, so he sucks for those who read bios and don't watch games.
If the Bruins draft him, he'll be 5'9" here by June.Have you heard that he’s 5’11 though?
I wonder if he's big enough period. In this NHL he can develop and thrive but he might have some of the issues we've seen with Poitras and then you see Hughes getting hurt and that's likely why he drops in some lists.I'll take Hagens on the Bruins, though I wonder if he's big enough in his role to make Cam happy.
His size won't be an issue. Some negatives I see is that he sometimes lacks the drive to get back on defense which could be a cardio problem, disinterest in playing outside the offensive zone, etc., but overall is a coachable fix. As a pass-first player, he sometimes forces passes instead of trying to extend the play. From the group I think should be the top 5 in the draft, I think he is the weakest goal-scorer. He sometimes has trouble getting shots on net.Surprised by the negativity on Hagens. He has high-end skill. Sure not the biggest guy but would anyone complain if he turned into a poor man's Pasta, Patrick Kane, Point or possibly even an equivalent? We can't score. We need a serious injection of talent at forward.
