Seravalli: Price of Brandon Hagel “ 1st, Top Prospect + Another Asset”
- Thread starter Canucks LB
- Start date
Hagel can fit on almost every team without moving salary. JT Miller has a limited amount of suitors.
Hagel is also a nobody who is getting 17 minutes a night on a trash team.
I'm not saying he's a bad player but he is realistically a third line winger on a good team. The ask is quite ludicrous.
Comparable for the Canucks would be Nils Hoglander. No way Hoglander could get a 1st round pick and a top prospect.

Unsustainable shooting percentage right now. 19%. He probably plummets back to earth and shoots around 10-12%.

not for Chicago it doesn’t; Hagel is on pace for a 20 - 25 goal, 40 - 50 point season. For the deal to make sense for the Hawks, one of he pieces; either the pick or prospect; needs to be as good. Very few B level prospects will end up being as good or productive as Hagel. On top of that he is signed for two more seasons at a very favourable $1.5m per year deal.
Why does have to be a 2022 first? I’m sure the Hawks would accept a 2023 first if the prospect included was good enough.

On a cup contender he’s a high energy 3rd liner that can score some dirty goals

No, I wasn't comparing them, I thought the goal was to ask for far more than a player is worth. Since Dekeyser is much worse, I want even more.

I think that is his value for a contender. The 3rd line carries a lot of water especially playoff time when you need that depth scoring. As a Hawks fan I would hate to see him go but understand the value and biz of it. He doesn't take shifts off and is a competitor. As well as his cap hit and cost control being favorable. I think a first (it would be bottom third of 1st round most likely) or a top shelf prospect and a second seems more reasonable/realistic to me.
Even if it does, that still would put him on pace for 15 goals. so 15 - 20 goals for $1.5 million for two years on a guy who is still pretty young and is gonna get better?
You're probably lucky if a late first rounder turns out as good as Hagel. In that territory, you just want a NHL level player.
They had too many contracts at the time; which isn't to say they made a good decision.

Two reasons - his last year they had his eligibility, he was viewed as being pretty inconsistent. And Jason Botterill is unable to recognize or appreciate anyone who has an ounce of sand in their game.

The goals was to discuss Hagel and his value.
At no point was there a need or desire by anyone in the world to have Danny Dekeyser's name entered into the thread.

Hyperbole given the thread. My bad if it came off overly serious.
