impressive weekend for him vs a top 5 ranked team, 3/10 in the FO's last night.

He's been really good this year but I don't think he's that close to what we saw from Celebrini last year. The vision and passing is elite though, man can he dish it.

This is for sure. Very different players, and Celebrini is both more explosive, and a more well rounded offensive game.

Otoh, Hagens is so cerebral. It's unusual for a players' style to affect his team as much as his does. It's pretty nice for him to have a guy like Leonard with him to take lumps.

Completely different development paths. Hagens needs a trainer, but he can figure out the little things, and off-puck play naturally.

Leonard and Hagens are no longer on a line together for what it’s worth. It’s Hagens, Perrault and Stiga then Gasseau, Leonard and Jellvik. I actually thought Hagens looked a lot better with Perrault and Stiga than having Leonard on that line. It allows for Hagens to carry the puck a lot more and drive the play rather than deferring to Leonard. Hagens looked more assertive this weekend than he has playing with Leonard. Stiga plays with similar aggression and speed as Leonard but isn’t as puck dominant so it seemed to work a bit better. We’ll see if it continues against BU

They’re still on the PP together but Leonard has swapped with Perrault, now playing the bumper role with Perrault up on the left side of the umbrella

An uninspiring weekend from Hagens...although he was better in the FOs department last night.
