Seravalli: Price of Brandon Hagel “ 1st, Top Prospect + Another Asset”

[SPF6ty9]

It is official, inflation is a problem

 

[Forge]

is this an episode of PUNKED? the kid has 26 pts

Look at how much players with 26 points cost across the league (and how many of them play for Vancouver is just weird). If you think his point production is legit (and that's a biiiiiiiiiiig if, of course), that money is valuable as hell. You're talking about guys like Boeser who could make 7.5M next year. Garland at 5. Andreas Johnsson the bargain at 3.5. Eberle at 5.5. Saad at 4.5.

Plus, lets be real, he's not going to to a bad team if traded. That first pick isn't really a super premium asset. I don't know...I kind of get it. The Coleman trade sets a similar market and he's younger, better contract. I suppose it really depends on what that other asset is.

price is high but people clearly don't know who hagel is.

he has 26 points in 43 games while being physical and making 1.5 m for the next 2 years. he won't get this price but he will easily get 1st+.

he's not going to come cheap like a lot of people think (especially the fanbase that thinks he'll cost a 2nd and a depth d-man)

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

So Nick Paul is worth the same then.

No he's not what that shows is Chicago has lost it's mind

 

[Esq]

On a playoff team, he's a really strong 3W. We've seen these guys (particularly on cost-controlled deals) fetch at 1st + prospect mid-season.

Rangers offer up Lundkvist straight up

 

[Fisticuffer]

Why stop there? I think they should ask for multiple firsts and multiple top prospects. And a pony!

Might as well make it a unicorn.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I dont think "Top Prospect" means the A-tier sort of prospects in the league. More like the solid B prospect sorts around the league and honestly I think thats a fair price.


Hagel is this years Coleman for sure. Phenomenal energy guy, can play up and down your lineup, scores goals and adds value in a bunch of different ways. The type of guy any playoff team will want. But most importantly of all, he's signed for this year and 2 more years at a ridiculously low $1.5M. So for a playoff contender right now you're getting a Top 9 player that does everything for 3 playoff runs at probably 1/3 of his market value.


If Colorado wasn't so heavily rumored on Giroux, I would happily move our 2023 1st+ to get Hagel.


Honestly what I'm more shocked about with this news is that Chicago is actually considering trading him. If they're a team that wants to be contenders again soon(Which one can only assume was the point of the Seth Jones trade) then what the hell are they thinking moving such a fantastic value contract?

 

[AslanRH]

Coleman was regarded as a better goal scorer and defensive player if I recall, but a late 1st + still seems fair for Hagel.

I suppose the real issue is what kind of work the word "Top" is doing in that proposal.

 

[violaswallet]

He is cost controlled at a bargain for 1.5M/year for two more seasons after this one, and an excellent player. Why wouldn't it be a 1st round pick at minimum? If you're a contender with a hole in your middle 6 forwards, you jump on that.

Top prospect is the confusing part.

I could see first+something else for him.

Maybe top prospect means something else>

 

[Taluss]

I’d pay 1st + solid prospect. I think the ask is a little high. But makes sense if there’s no incentive to move him

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Top prospect is generally a loose term. One team's recent Top 10 pick in a pool with several big fish is another team's recent 2nd round pick in a pool without them.

 

[sens13]

No he's not what that shows is Chicago has lost it's mind

are leaf fans salty they can't get hagel for a 2nd like they were all dreaming

 

[Taluss]

[SensontheRush]

Man, I think I'd do Zaitsev plus Sens 2022 first for Hagel.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

are leaf fans salty they can't get hagel for a 2nd like they were all dreaming

I'm not sure what you are talking about

 

[Pi]

Maybe I haven't watched enough hockey this season, I don't even know who this is and what team he plays for.

 

[cwede]

Rangers offer up Lundkvist straight up

i doubt Drury would, Hagel is just another depth wing

find a C with ~same age, upside, term and Cap Hit, then maybe

 

[sens13]

I'm not sure what you are talking about

whenever hagel comes up or leaf fans bring him up they act like a 2nd is more than fair for him. that's what I'm talking about.

sure he won't get 1st + top prospect but he'll easily get a 1st + prospect

 

[DanielBrassard]

He's someone I was hoping the Rangers were interested in. I don't think the asking price is terribly out of line but I guess it all depends on your definition of top prospect. Would something like 1st+Kravtsov+3rd or something equivalent be enough?

 

[YP44]

1st + top 30 rated prospected in the organization?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

whenever hagel comes up or leaf fans bring him up they act like a 2nd is more than fair for him. that's what I'm talking about.

sure he won't get 1st + top prospect but he'll easily get a 1st + prospect

I can honestly say I have never seen that

 

[Bettman Returnz]

I thought this was a joke! Who is hagel in all seriousness?

 

[AvroArrow]

I would be shocked if they got even 1 of the things they are asking for, wtf ?

 

[Sniped90]

Oilers offer 22 1st, 23 1st, 24 3rd, kosk, kassian, yamo, prospect
