Roster/Rumors/Speculation/Trade Talk - 2024-25: Re-Tool, Re-Group, Re-Mix, Re-Build

I seem to remember Eiserman entering his draft year as a concensus Top 3 pick.

Right now, Hagens has 6-19-25 and +6 in 21 NCAA games. He had 9 points in 7 WJC contests. He first turns 19 in November.

And you're right, he has dropped from that "surefire 1st overall" to "one of the top 4-5", with most now fawning over Schaefer.

That drop is not of Hagens doing.

I agree. But I don't think it's one of the 4 or 5, I think it's really about Hagens and Schaefer. Putting aside bias, I think it is overwhelmingly likely that Schaefer goes 1st. His skating is top notch, he's got really great anticipation, he's creative, and he's explosive. Factor in size (Schaefer really needs meat on those bones, but he'll be scary once he has it), and imo it's not that hard a choice. I think Hagens is second even if Martone, Misa, etc. are more impressive physically. Because he's so smarter than those guys.

I’d put Misa right up there with Schaefer and Hagens. He is having an excellent season. I can’t believe they left him off the wjc team. If we walk away with any one of those 3 I will be very happy.
