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

[AvroArrow]

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

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

What are you talking about ? Lmfao, most of us much like the rest of this thread had no clue who the hell this Hagel guy even is.

Not sure what universe you're living in, I've literally never seen Hagels name brought up anywhere until just now

Sabres drafted this guy in 2016 in the 6th round but never qualified him, and they relinquished his rights. Another brilliant move by Botteril.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

A late first for a 23 year old makes a lot of sense. A top prospect, that's a bit vague.

 

[John Mandalorian]

How can Hagel and every single player on Montreal's roster be worth a 1st?

 

[Pure Slaughter Value]

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

A first round pick in the 20's and 30's is worth significantly LESS than a player on pace for 50 points signed with term for cheap.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I think Hagel is good, but he's NOT worth THAT much!

 

[ManofSteel55]

I don't blame Chicago for wanting to move him, but this is the type of deal that doesn't make much sense. Are any teams out there in the position to not only pay the perceived overpay price that Tampa Bay paid for Coleman back in the day, but to add significantly on top of it? Seems like an odd amount to me.

I think some people in this thread don't know who the guy is...he's basically the ideal third liner for any contender looking to fill out their forward group. He's built on last year well offensively. And he's just 23 and signed for 2.5 more years at 1.5 million, which, given the cap situation most contenders are in right now with the flat cap, is invaluable. And when it expires, he'll still be an RFA. So yeah, the ask is obviously a 1st+

He's the sort of guy every contender wants...and he's pacing for ~25 goals and ~50 points. Considering he's 23 and they have zero pressing incentive to move him, Chicago can obviously ask for whatever they want. Contenders have probably have come offering a 1st+, because why wouldn't they, so Chicago will ask for the + to be a top prospect. If they're willing to move Hagel, they'll quibble and negotiate down over what constitutes a top prospect.

Doesn't seem that surprising to me...

Read these if you're confused about the ask.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

Why even entertain trading him unless it's an overpayment?

He's only in his second season in the NHL and has been improving the entire time.
23 years old, scores, hits, high energy guy, kills penalties, signed for two additional seasons at $1.5M
A late 1st won't replace that.

just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it hasn't been brought up.

 

[HabsForHire]

Umm who even is this,all that I haven't even heard of him

 

[KingsHockey24]

Never heard of him.

 

[AnInjuredJasonZucker]

That's just the advertised price. There's room to...Hagel.

 

[sens13]

then you have no idea who he is. he'll easily get 1st+

 

[AvroArrow]

then you have no idea who he is. he'll easily get 1st+

Sure, I hope your team trades for him

 

[TFHockey]

That might be the "ask" but that is not going to be the "get".

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Dominik Kahun put up similar numbers for Chicago/Pittsburgh can you imagine how dumb a gm would look right now if they gave up what is being ask right now for that player who isn't even in the league anymore.

 

[TLEH]

Just because you haven't watched this shit Hawks team/organization doesn't mean that Brandon Hagel isn't a good player. He is making peanuts, with term, and on pace for 50 points and 25 goals. He doesn't have a lot of powerplay time. He is a dogged forechecker and plays hard every single night. That is a steep ask, in writing, but he is absolutely a winner in todays NHL.

 

[sens13]

Sure, I hope your team trades for him

never said I want my team to trade for him.

but it's clear you don't know who he is if you think he can't even get 1st

 

[AvroArrow]

Why would you not want to trade for him if you think he's that good ? lmao

 

[sens13]

Just because a player is good doesn't mean every team needs them. lol use some common sense.

I'm taking about hagels value where you think he won't get any one of those pieces. Why do you keep deflecting and changing the subject?

[AslanRH]

People who haven't heard of him must not have had NBCSN.
I'm pretty sure they aired every Chicago game

 

[Diaspora]

In Botts' defense, no one could tell back then that he'd be a shoo-in first ballot hall-of-famer.

 

[CupInSIX]

Does he get a 2min penalty if his Santa hat falls off?
