Confirmed Trade: [FLA/BUF] Robert Hagg for 2022 6th round pick

Ekblad is injured for regular season and we need home court advantage. I'm guessing price will be somehting like Heponiemi+3rd.

That'd be a terrible move. Hippo will be a good, cap-neglible bottom 6er next year. Hagg should be our 9D if we're healthy.

But I don't see how we are getting Hagg without giving up Carlsson...unless we're immediately gonna flip Carlsson for a 5th Rounder or something.

That 2025 1st picks looks delicious

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

they are just loading up! Colorado vs Florida should be fun

How are the Avs and Panthers going to meet in the second round?

 

[kerrabria]

Your team is probably the favorite to win the cup now I don't know how you can complain about that

Because if we don't win the cup this year (or even if we do), we're being set up to have no depth for a run next year. It isn't even the picks I'm complaining about. It's the hemorrhaging of <$1m players who we know can play.

If Florida add Hagg and put Ekblad on LTIR they'd have $6.2m capspace to work with.

Dear Florida, thank you in advance for making sure Hextall doesn't bring this ex-Flyer scrub to Pittsburgh. If we simply must trade for ex-Flyers (or perhaps ex-L.A. Kings) and ignore all other available players, could we please get Tim Kerr or Behn Wilson instead? They'd be more useful, even at their current ages, and fill a much-needed role in the process.

FLA wants draft picks? Too bad Benning's no longer in charge, we could send you some!

 

[Foppberg]

How are the Avs and Panthers going to meet in the second round?

Let's be real, we'll face off against Vegas in the 1st round, they'll do typical Vegas things, and we'll lose in 6 games and 12 injuries.

 

[Just Linda]

Some 5d chess going on here. Florida realizes that other teams can't improve if they acquire all the available players to improve them.

 

[GKJ]

He’s a good get. I’ve always liked him even though he was a scapegoat for Flyers fans. Has done pretty ok this season with Buffalo. Great hitter

He was a scapegoat for good reason, but I trust that he was better upon leaving because everyone else does too. I would take him back tomorrow if it undoes the last 8 months.

 

[kerrabria]

If it's Hagg for a pick, then we aren't done. Carlsson is going somewhere (probably as part of the mission to recoup picks).

Even with Ekblad on LTIR, we'd still have 8 waiver eligible d-men, and three LHD fighting for the 6D role.

Forsling - Weegar
Chiarot - Gudas
xxxx - Montour

xxxx = Hagg, Lindbohm, Carlsson

Lindbohm is a UFA and we just signed him, so he has no trade value. Maybe we'll waive him, but it's more likely that we'd flip Carlsson (RFA who has done well as our 6D) for a mid-round pick.

The pick might be in 2029…..

Thank god! No more Hagg to Pittsburgh. Dodged a bullet here.

 

[BlueBaron]

Who needs draft picks anyways?

Lol. We don't do draft picks in the Atlantic....that's so Pacific, please..

 

[kerrabria]

So in the past two weeks...
IN:
Giroux, Chiarot, Hagg, Lindbohm
OUT:
Ekblad, Vatrano, Juolevi, Carlsson (foregone conclusion)

idk man, that's a lot of turnover (looking at the blueline mainly). bit nervous tbh

 

[LTIR]

Finally the prices are coming down

6th



So basically (Sabres) clearing out a contract.

Hagg... is that like half a Hagel?

Half a hagel with Cream Cheese

Giroux, Chiarot, Hagg, Lindbohm
OUT:
Ekblad, Vatrano, Juolevi, Carlsson (foregone conclusion)

Ekblad - Likely back for 1st round
Vatrano - Didn't even play full time and replaced by a superior player
Juolevi - Come on
Carlsson - Probably still kept for depth and was essentially 6/7 D.

That's not that much turnover.

Making room for Power

6th



So basically (Sabres) clearing out a contract.

makes sense as they likely want to try and get Power, Johnson and one of Levi/Portillo signed so they need the contract slots.
