Seems everyone agrees that this was a terrible trade for both clubs
Ugh. The problem isn't with the scoring. The secondary scoring is lacking but the team is still putting in over three a game. The problem is they're allowing too many and this trade doesn't make them better at defense. There's also no way to trade Carl Hagelin without becoming slower in the process.
The only thing redeeming this trade is it might end up being good asset management if we can rebuild Pearson. If not, this hurts worse than losing Hagelin for nothing as we need that space to resign Guentzel and Rust.
Ugh... while I get the point you're making, Hagelin does so much more to help his line then just score or put up points. His speed alone helps his line. I think Pearson is a better hockey player, but there's no guarantee that he has the same sort of impact here that Hagelin had. I think I like the trade for Pittsburgh, but losing Hagelin sucks, even when he only had 3pts.
Hagelin is an impending UFA and Pearson has term left on his deal. The Kings cleared future cap space and gained a tradeable deadline asset.Kings get older, makes sense.
PEARSON HAS LESS POINTS THAN RYAN STROME?
JESUS CHRIST
I think PIT is looking at it as a more skilled slower version of Hagelin. Pearson has typically been a 20g/40pt player. Hagelin hasn't been that for us since HBK was hot for 40 games... something that was never repeatable. So while I understand why it makes sense for LA,i can also see PITs reasoning.I’m going against the wind but... I get it for LA, not for PIT.
I don’t like Pearson at all, at least Hags brings something.
This is a debate that continues to rage on the Kings board.I was thinking to my self about a year and a half ago ,the Haul the Kings could get if they moved everyone but Kopitar and Quick. They've already got there cups,there players were getting older and the style of game has been changing. I just dont get it. Unless its revenue related. Now they've gone the complete opposite way signing Kovalchuck. I dont get it.
Pearson has been invisible this year and hasn’t scored since March.
Love how Pens fans are projecting him to become a 60 point player and how the Kings got boned.
I’m sure Hagelin was the guy Blake targeted to turn the Kings around. Surprised he didn’t give up their first this year too to get him out of gratitude.
Think about it, Hagelin was all Pearson could bring back people.
Are they Kings fans that leave when the third period starts to beat traffic?60 points? Doubt it.
40-50? Wouldn’t be surprised.
I feel like this board is ****ting super hard on Pearson when the Kings fans I actually know living in SoCal all think it is a disaster.
