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

[Chainshot]

6th



So basically (Sabres) clearing out a contract.

Allows them to get all of their college guys signed or sign three and have an extra slot.

 

[Erikfromfin]

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

+ Tippett

From the guys who are leaving all 3 weren't good enough to make the lineup regularly. And Ekblad simply got injured, not like the Panthers got a say in it.

Great price for some depth and insurance while Ekblad is out

This reminds me of when Zito's Jackets traded a 5th for a washed up McQuaid, when they supposedly went all-in.

Except Mcquaid was legit super tough and a decent defender. I have no idea how Hagg has kept an NHL job.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

This league is so f***ing weird.

Bob Hogg is terrible, in case anyone was wondering.

 

[LordZapp]

Hope they get some gems in the late rounds. If they don't get any playoff success from these trades, it's gonna be hard to replicate when verhaghee, Huber and duclair are due for their raises. I hope it works out, I like this cats team. Honestly don't want to face them in the first round.

Sounds like a porno actor's name.

Not to be creepy or whatever, but he'd be better at that than hockey.

Duclair and Verhaeghe are signed for a bit. Huby, Weegar and Knight are the concerns for 23-24

 

[Dr Quincy]

I don't hate this. That's actual fair value, or even better for a depth "oh no 3 guys are injured!!" kind of D during the playoffs.

McQuaid was tough. He was a decent defender at his best, but by the end of the time with the B's he was less than decent. Certainly no better than Hagg. But sure he had a funny mullet and fought so he was a folk hero for some in New England.

Knight is a concern? He hasn't done anything yet.

 

[violaswallet]

Knight is a concern? He hasn't done anything yet.

I think the concern is that he'll be a 3-4 million dollar goalie or offer-sheet candidate. With Bob signed to that contract long-term, each dollar spent on goalie is precious.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Knight is a concern? He hasn't done anything yet.

His ELC is up, it's hard to say how much he'll want in his first contract then. At that point, he might be #1 over Bob

 

[HaNotsri]

100% a KGB move by Adams

 

[JTRAIN1966]

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

That ain't NO S#!T !!!

 

[banks]

Gudas and Hagg?

That's one way to build a team.

At least they got a pick for him. We couldn’t even do that lol

 

[To Be Determined]

Hagg, Chiarot and Gudas. This team understands how the playoffs work!

reading this about the florida panthers. what a time to be alive.

 

[Jerkbait]

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.

Hextall is going into the playoffs with the softest D in the NHL. Without addressing this expect the same result.

 

[Chainshot]

Hagg wasn't as bad as Flyer fans memory of him was. Perhaps because he wasn't getting nearly the sort of key situation time in Buffalo, but he was alright as a 3rd pairing guy who was a PK regular. Just don't ever, ever, ever put him on the right side. That? That was the sort of stuff Flyer fans talk about when they talk about Hagg being terrible.

 

[broc]

A late 6th rd pick ? Why not just give him for free.

surely you could’ve negotiated to a 4th, lol

 

[Jee]

Hagg is not very good.
