Waive Hague and find a defenseman.
Where oh where has our top 6 gone?

Hague is young and will improve. He's being forced to do things he's not ready for. Needs big time skating and puck handling lessons in the off-season, til then he needs to sit.
So you'd rather play Holden? Because without a trade for another LD that's the only alternative.
I do agree that Hague needs time to round out his game, but even in his current state he's the best option we have to play with Whitecloud IMO. Wanting him gone is crazy talk. He's 71 games into his career and he's produced really well for a guy his size. The old adage is you don't judge dmen until they hit 200 games. Hell, he's light years ahead of where Chara was at the same age.
He can't skate. He can't make timely decisions. I'm not convinced he has the capacity to learn either.Hague is young and will improve. He's being forced to do things he's not ready for. Needs big time skating and puck handling lessons in the off-season, til then he needs to sit.

I was not the one who said waive Hague, I want to see him improve, but if you're going for a Cup (I really don't see us going through Wild, Avs, Florida, Canes or Tampa and then the East champ to be honest with what I've seen in the last month or so, too many holes on the team) yep for now I'd mostly play Holden when it counts.

his skating was always and probably will always be a hinderance. I don’t see the upside with him others do. Cannon of a shot, but the rest of his game leaves a lot to be desired
