It's really mind-blowing that anyone would think Hagg was better than Morin, or more NHL ready.
Especially Hextall... he gets rid of Grossmann because he was a big/slow/strong/dumb dinosaur who can't play in the modern NHL... then he adds Grossmann 2.0???? I don't get it.
Two full seasons of hockey in the SHL plus 3 full AHL seasons and the reputation of a former second round pick may have a GM thinking that it's sink or swim time. And Hägg was actually one of those rare cases that looked better playing against men at a younger age in Sweden than after his draft in the AHL and unlike Morin he did not have to grow into his body.
