Yup, the only reasonable conclusion.
Keep your irreplaceable/best players, remove and then upgrade your worst. Simple.
Robert Hagg Re-signs with the Flyers (report: 2 years at $1.15 million cap hit per season)

Tbf February 2019 was only a 3 game sample.
But with today's:
CF% 36.84
CF% rel -18.54
xGF% 23.61
xGF% rel -30.09
...and his consistent track record, he's headed for another banner month!

1 assist, +3 today.
Jfc it's like some people just want to hate on the guy. He's doing his job. How'd Ghost do today?

The one he didn't get an assist on was actually a pretty good pass from him for once. Unfortunately the rest of the game was a mess.I love how his assist was a failed shot that just so happened to bounce off a Duck and go to a Flyer.

Yup, that was a genuinely good play by him on the Lindblom goal.
No problem admitting when he actually does something good, but unfortunately it’s so rare I don’t get to prove that often.
But yeah, he’s a disaster 99% of time. The rare good play out of him is as inconsequential in the big picture as the rare bad play out of a good player. Replace Mac with Myers and then Hagg with Morin when he’s ready. Hagg is a bust so might as well give Morin a shot to see if he’s any better.

Ok, fair is fair. I saw the numbers and reacted. On the other hand, he's had his fair chance and it's not been fair to us.

That assist was pure luck too
He did support the rush well today, ill give him that. Bad in his own end as always though.

Wow what the hell. This guy is the weak link on the team. After him everyone is average to very good. Only a matter of time until Morin comes in.
Well bad stretch from bad player is a whole lot of poop, but at least he didn't lose the games outright for them like Amax at the beginning of the year.
Wonder what team feels likeabouthis recent play.

Absolutely horrible player who has fooled gullible people into thinking he can actually play in the NHL. Remember in the beginning of the year when he fooled people some into thinking he had improved by getting carried by the top line and piling up a few points that had nothing to do with him?
Bad in all 3 zones, horrible puck mover, black hole offensively, tied with MacDonald for worst player defensively, and isn't even actually a tough guy. He goes for quantity of hits, typically by being way out of position, but doesn't even hit hard. I'm surprised even the hockey dinosaurs like him since he's surprisingly weak physically.
He should be as equally as high priority to remove from the team as MacDonald. Neither are NHL players and we'll be better off when both are gone. Our top 4 are MILES better, Gudas is clearly better, and Morin certainly has the potential to be better and really couldn't be any worse.
Time to go back to Sweden and meet up with his biggest fan, Coach Hak.

He’s getting caved in with regularity. And there doesn’t appear to be any real upside to his game.

Don't bother. If someone likes Hagg and also wants Ghost traded then quality of play clearly isn't something they care about.

Updated through February.
It was a career-worst month for Haggster, propped up by a 103 PDO. That was while playing with noted play driver Radko Gudas.

I desperately hope a team like Winnipeg sees value in him because of his price tag and control. If we could throw a 1st rounder+Hagg+2nd rounder in 2020 for Trouba because of their cap issues I’ll be rejoicing in the streets.

If that gets it done, holy shit I’m sold. There’s no way, I mean I think if it was this years pick. Or it’s gonna be a prospect we don’t want to give up.

It’s so bizarre. He’s touted as this big hitter and doesn’t even really have that. If your saving grace is as a hitter, you damn well better be an intimidator. It was a different time but I remember denis gauthier was basically here for his hitting ability—and he made sure people were worrying about him when they went into the corner. Hagg does not strike fear in anyone.Don't bother. If someone likes Hagg and also wants Ghost traded then quality of play clearly isn't something they care about.

Gudas was a real hitter before the suspensions.
Ghost is a bigger hitter than Hagg and FAR better defensively... but stereotypes...
