Good deal for the Caps. I’m just happy Blake is collecting picks to bundle so he can potentially trade up in the draft. Not bad for both clubs.
If Blake held the trade up 24 hours for a conditional 6th round pick then he is my spirit animal
They are going to have a top 3 or so pick. This third round pick will not help in any way to move up to the first or second pick.Good deal for the Caps. I’m just happy Blake is collecting picks to bundle so he can potentially trade up in the draft. Not bad for both clubs.

I'm surprised how many people think this was a bad move for the Caps.
Hagelin is as good as or better than DSP in just about every way. Sure, they both stink offensively. But when looking at speed, penalty killing and defense - it's not even close.
Caps got better over the last 24 hours and all it cost them was essentially a late 3rd
Question for the Pens fans chiming in here. Would you guys prefer to have Hagelin back over Pearson? I see that of late Pearson has either been a healthy scratch or relegated to the fourth line.
No kidding, chief.People put way too much stock into late round picks. Most late round guys are career AHL players.
3rd rounders have about a 30% chance of playing in the NHL. And a much much lower % of being an impact player.No kidding, chief.
This is a mid round pick though. Nothing to get excited about but lets not suddenly act that only 1st and 2nd rounders make it to the NHL.
Remarkable how some of you downplay a pick.3rd rounders have about a 30% chance of playing in the NHL. And a much much lower % of being an impact player.
That's not a regular just making it as a callup. Getting a 3rd or lower to me is like getting another lottery ticket. If you have a chance at a cup its not as important. If you're rebuilding it feels super important. Eye of the beholder.Remarkable how some of you downplay a pick.
Again. Nothing shocking but you always read this stuff from fans who just traded them.
Besides, 30% is more than I ever could have imagined. I thought it was lower.

As a Caps fan I could care less about a 3rd. Just happy that we still have our first. As a Kings fan its a golden ticket. I get it champ.
Kings are the savvy players in this deal. Move a horrible contract (Pearson) and get a third round pick instead of having to throw something in as a sweetener to take that horrible contract. Had to eat a little money but nothing worth sweating over.
