Prospect Info: Robert Hagg [March 2014: AAV is $925k, 3-yr ELC, per Tim P.]

This is karma negating us passing on Maata last year...

I hope this is the case so they don't rush Morin.

That's what I'm hoping.

 

[Alchemy]

That's what I'm hoping.

Hagg will make the NHL before Morin. Morin is just too raw but if they be patient with him oh man we have two studs in the pipeline with Hagg and Morin.

 

[NHLAlert]

Holmgren has stressed patience recently so hopefully not

That's probably a fair assessment. At some point down the road, Schenn-Morin will be a pretty tough pair to play against.

That'd be like pairing Grossmann and Schenn. I hope we don't see it come to that.

You wouldn't want to see them paired together? That would be a tough pair to play against. No one would be safe in front of the net!

Sure, on the PK.

Morin's skating is a plus unlike those two.

 

[sa cyred]

According to Button Haag has top pairing, all circumstances player. When he is on, he is dominating. Needs to get more consistent.

According to Haag himself he will be in Sweden for two more years.

 

[CS]

Morin's skating is a plus though unlike those two.

Well, what about a Coburn - Schenn pairing?

 

[Broad Street Elite]

I think Hagg is the first of our prospects to make the NHL. It would really not surprise me to see him get a shot in 2014 or 2015 depending on his development next season.

 

[Alchemy]

That'd be like pairing Grossmann and Schenn. I hope we don't see it come to that.

If Morin develops the offensive side of his game it really isn't. His highest ceiling is a two-way shut down beast. Think of Chara. His floor will be strickly a defensive dman.

A Modo fan said they should be good next year and they just got the top coach in the league to come there. He also said Hagg should be getting top 4 minutes next year.

My ultimate bias is euro dmen... Mainly Finns and Swedes so this pick makes me happy. I actually thought he'd go in the mid 20s so I didn't think he'd be available barring the Flyers moving up.

I'm not sure that he cracks a top pairing, but I think he definitely has 2nd pairing and PP potential. Then again I didn't really think Kimmo would be good enough to be a top pairing dman and he proved me wrong (even without turning into a big time offensive force).

 

[KimiFerrari]

I like this pick.

It will finally be fun to watch some talented defensive prospects pushing our weak blue line instead of talented offensive prospects pushing our talented forwards.

I'm with you in your bias. It seems that the Scandinavian d-men have a calmness and make smart plays. Of course, I'm sure there are many that don't play this way.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Sure, on the PK.

Why not at ES? I understand that Schenn and Morin may not be offensive dynamos, but if they are shutting everyone down, who cares? Let the other two pairings lead the offensive charge from the blue-line.

 

[rk5n]

Wow, talk about an offensive defenseman

 

[GKJ]

That 2011-12 line can't be right.

 

[daynus]

love hagg at 41

bpa at that spot. a few years in europe will help with his overall game. and this guys passing is at nhl level already. gonna be excited when he laces up for the big club.

Must be a Flyers fan editing his page.

 

[FlyersFan61290]

That 2011-12 line can't be right.

It should read 4 goals, 13 assists for 17 points in 44 games w/ 46 PIM according to eliteprospects.com

 

[Jack Straw]

I was hoping we'd come out of this draft with Hagg but didn't at all expect him to be around at 41. Like his skill set a lot. Getting Hagg makes me feel a lot better about taking Morin at 11.
