Confirmed Trade: [TBL/CHI] Brandon Hagel, 2022, 2024 4ths for Boris Katchouk, Taylor Raddysh, 2023, 2024 1sts (Top 10 protected)

[IslesNorway]

The return is almost always less than most people think...

 

[JoeSakic13]

It's gonna be a haul...no other reason to do this.

Going to guess a late 1st, a really good prospect and maybe even another pick.

Hagel is not only good but his contract is amazing. I expect it to be a contending team that is nearly capped out or has major cap concerns moving forward.

*Montreal looks down at their Chiarot haul*

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

1st and 3rd + something? Should get quite a bit for 20 goal scorer with good contract.

Chiarot proved this to be false.

 

[Siludin]

I think he will probably get a 1st but not much more.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Chiarot proved this to be false.

Do you know the definition of almost?

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

I got trolled, ignore this post

 

[Kent Nilsson]

He’s perfect for Tampa

 

[spockBokk]

Could be the Canes, prob not, but a possibility

 

[Seachd]

I'm going to say Edmonton.

Would be nice, but I don't think they're looking for forwards.

 

[CupofOil]

This seems like a Rangers or Tampa type move.

 

[Spilot23]

Rangers or Canes IMO.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Do you know the definition of almost?

almost always is like saying I am right 100% of the time 50% of the time.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Honestly I hope it’s Colorado or Florida. Just cuz it’s obvious Philly is playing these teams against eachother to run up the price on Giroux.

 

[Your Boy Troy]

Why did Buffalo not sign Hagel? Did he not want to sign there?

 

[Tralfamadore]

Honestly I hope it’s Colorado or Florida. Just cuz it’s obvious Philly is playing these teams against eachother to run up the price on Giroux.

Hagel is a better asset than Giroux as well.

Chiarot proved this to be false.

Also this is not:
- A rental
- A player wanting out
- A player that doesn't fit with their current team's timeline

It makes all the sense for Chicago to keep him. Unless they basically hit the jackpot with multiple top notch rebuild pieces coming back.

So yeah, I think we are going to see a rather robust return...at least we got the "hahaha who is Brandon Hagel even??? LOLZZZZ" jokes out of the way last month in the Hagel rumor thread.

I got trolled, ignore this post

Lol I was about to reply with a lot of confusion

 

[BKarchitect]

Secretly hope it is the Avs even though I know the return is gonna make me a bit queasy. Having a 23 year-old middle six player with his work ethic, development path and versatility locked up for $1.5 million thru 2024 would be awesome.

 

[Cloned]

Gonna say Calgary.

 

[CDN24]

Yeah but he's also 23.

We're not talking about a prime aged guy here. He's in his 2nd full NHL season.

A 23 year old who looks good and is under contract for 2 more years after this one for 1.5M AAV. something does not add up if the move him. How bad is he in the locker room? I don't get it, there is something about him we don't know because from a hockey sense there is no reason to trade him. You should be trading your big dollar older guys for players like him if you are the Hawks

 

[TrufleShufle]

Do you know the definition of almost?

Yeah, I do. But rather than define it, I can use it in a sentence.

"In the trades that happened the last few days, almost all of them proved the opposite of what he said."

 

[belair]

Yeah but he's also 23.

We're not talking about a prime aged guy here. He's in his 2nd full NHL season.

A short period of regression could also tank his value in a hot minute. It not like they projected him to be this productive.

 

[Intangir]

Young, cheap, physical, scores goals, this screams Tampa Bay.

If Chicago is rebuilding all they do is lose him at RFA.
