I'm all about high-flying offense, but, if anything our SC run showed is that we need to be stout defensively too. Is Hags struggling offensively? Yes. But, does he provide a massive plus in areas like d-zone play & PK ability? Absolutely. Is that worthy of a $2.75 million AAV cap hit? IDK, but, right now we are a better team w/ Hags in the lineup. Boyd is a top-six talent and deserves to play in the lineup (in the top-nine), but, you can't tell me that he's more important than what Hags does in every aspect of the game outside of offense. That's not a knock on Boyd either, as I alluded to earlier, I view him highly. I do believe Hags' offense and playmaking will start to pickup (he had five points in tens games - or something like that - pre-injury), but, right now he is a huge plus on defense and PK.
