This seems like the perfect chance for the Islanders to implode next season and make James’ dreams come true so he can play for his favorite team growing up.
TSN is kinda stupid and probably focusing on Draft Eligible players. In one game, the guy calling the game with Button didn't realize that the NTDP didn't play in the Hlinka tournament and referenced a "re-match" from the most recent Semis, and Button had to correct him.TSN at the beginning of the tournament was doing a feature about the USA's returning players. They said they had three returning players, but didn't even go on to name Hagens. Instead they talked about Eiserman and Hutson. Those guys are good players, but come on, how could you be so stupid to not talk about the guy who clearly drives the bus? Has 6 more points than any player on his own team.
I think the questions about whether he was the 1OA favorite for next year are also starting to become answered. Not that other guys still can't challenge him, but he's doing his part. Would take a great player to knock him off 1OA.
Did Craig Button really just compare Hagens to Nazem Kadri? No offense Craig, but that's nonsense. Hagens is multiple tiers ahead. I get that they are both good stick handlers but that's where the similarities end.
Larkin is definitely a better comp, though Hagens is more creative and handsier, and will probably never have that powerful of a stride.
I don’t really see too many similarities to be honest, my comp has always been Larkin

I think Hughes is probably the cleanest comp. Hagens is not quite as quick and is a bit stronger on his feet, but he uses his edges, hands, and vision to patrol the offensive zone in a very similar manner.
I had Jack Hughes as well.
