Friedman: Sabres interested in Hagelin?

[justafan22]

10. Buffalo is like Montreal. The Sabres do not want to use their best assets on rentals. I could see them looking at someone like Carl Hagelin. He’d be a good fit.

This kind of stuff is purely speculation and shouldn’t automatically get its own thread.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Can we get a 31 thoughts thread?

Might help with the amount of threads.

 

[Seanaconda]

More stuff to comment on would be better for the site I'd assume. More views and whatever

Yeah this is speculation, nothing more nothing less.

No, this is how Friedman writes his columns. He did not just link that player and team out of thin air.

Actually quite often it is him just spit balling...trying to find fits for players on other teams.

 

[CupInSIX]

Friedman should call his column 31 threads

No this is him saying that he thinks that Hagelin would make sense for the Sabres to target.

With guys like Friedman and McKenzie, speculation isn't always just speculation. Hagelin isn't going to cost a lot either, so I could see a few teams interested. Probably a late second round pick or equivalent prospect?

To Buffalo: Hagelin
To LA: A helmet with a visor that's on straight + a 6th round pick.

 

[SEALBound]

I could see them being a fit.

Gotta think though that with the relationship between Bots and JR that if he really wanted him, something could have been done before Hags-Pearson trade.

I hate this shit to be honest. I don't know why dumb speculation gets its own thread

 

[KingPuckChoo]

DO IT BUFFALO!!

 

[UnleashRasmus]

If it costs more than a fourth round pick, no thanks. The speed is there, and he's above average on the PK. However, he does nothing else.

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Great PK, great fore/back check, you are not getting anything else. A few years ago you would’ve had more. Right now you are simply adding a goal line to goal line special teams expert. But no PP, only PK.

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

I doubt he would cost much. Would be an upgrade to Sobotka

Sabres counter with just the used visor, no helmet.

Done and we will even throw in sobotka

Buffalo doesn't have any cheap assets left unless you're talking about Alex Nylander. Hagelin would be a nice add, but not sure how you get him.

This. Can play the 3rd wheel on a 2nd or 3rd line, but really what you are getting is a fast forechecker/backchecker who PKs. Would take him back on the Pens 4th line next year for a 4th line comparable contract if no one else goes for him. We needed more offensive ability at the #2LW though, and Pearson provides that at least at times.
