Confirmed Signing with Link: [WSH] Carl Hagelin signs extension (4 years, $2.75M AAV)

[Revelation]

11 points in 20 games after the trade deadline, changed team dynamic significantly. Forgettable playoffs but same can be said about 90% of the roster.

Cap hit is low for a guy of his pedigree, he should still be effective at 34. Also this contract should be easily movable, even if they decide to move him 2 years from now they can probably get a 4th rounder back at least for cheap role-playing vets. MacLellan has been able to move every contract that stood in the way so far when he needed to.

Good signing unless they had a shot at a star player and needed every penny of cap space. Would have rather it be 2.5 like Kempny and Jensen but Hagelin does have one of the best resumes in the League for a role player

 

[FissionFire]

Solid deal for a solid player. Cap hit is low enough that even if Hagelin’s wheels come off he won’t hamstring the teams cap.

 

[Tripod]

He’s still fast , good 3rd liner but ask me in 3 yrs

19 points in 58 games...26 point pace. That is a good 3rd liner?

 

[Hivemind]

Anyone who thinks this is an overpayment should be reminded of the contracts Roussel, Reaves, Beagle, and Calvert got in UFA last year.

Anyone who thinks this is a bad contract should look at these other bad contracts.

 

[izzy]

not bad at all, his speed will keep him effective

Giving term to bottom 6 players past their prime isn't good but it's manageable

 

[SML2]

Hagelin does an awful lot of little things they don't really keep stats on that help you win games. With Gudas and Wilson on the same squad, you don't want to start letting premiere pk guys walk away, you're probably going to need them.

 

[Pens x]

2 years too much but fair AAV.

It’ll be ugly when his wheels start to fall off.

Damnit Carl

11 points in 20 games for the team's that matters

I'd take 60 point second liner Anze Kopitar in a flash as well

[PensandCaps]

Really wanted to get him back for the Pens.

Very non existent regular season player, but come playoffs, hagelin is a very valuable player when the space gets tightended and his speed suffocates the opposing team. not by accident that he has the most playoff games played since he entered the league iirc

 

[KingsHockey24]

Brutal contract.

I wouldn't give him more than 1.5 for 2 years.

 

[SEALBound]

Thank god Caps are taking that term and not the Penguins.

 

[PensandCaps]

Both are fast but they are very different as well. Grabner scores 30 goals when he is on, Hagelin has never scored 20 goals. Grabner creates offense all by himself, Hagelin doesnt. Agree both will have jobs in the NHL as long as they can skate the way they do though.

rather have hagelin than grabner for a playoff run

 

[PensandCaps]

Brutal contract.

I wouldn't give him more than 1.5 for 2 years.

how is it brutal. Lmao.

2.75x4 for a good bottom 6 player, one of the fastest guys in the leauge.

this is a good deal for the caps.

Hagelin is a unique player that any contender would want.

 

[Sam Spade]

Thank god Caps are taking that term and not the Penguins.

Who would you rather have?

 

[PensandCaps]

19 points in 58 games...26 point pace. That is a good 3rd liner?

for what he brings away from the puck and in the playoffs, yes

 

[Empoleon8771]

Damn, that's a solid deal for the Capitals. Based on what guys like Roussel and Komarov got last year, that's an even better contract. I wonder if he got some sort of NTC as a part of this deal.

 

[txpd]

19 points in 58 games...26 point pace. That is a good 3rd liner?

As pointed out. On the Capitals he had 11pts in 20 games. He fit in well and was successful. So, yea. He's a good 3rd liner.

 

[MMC]

Anyone who thinks this is a bad contract should look at these other bad contracts.

No, this is what the market is for UFA bottom sixers. It's a fair deal for what players of this caliber are going for.

 

[Syckle78]

Brutal contract.

I wouldn't give him more than 1.5 for 2 years.

What year is it in your world? I'd like to get a gallon of gas for a dollar but its not happening.

 

[Foppberg]

Nice deal.

 

[txpd]

Brutal contract.

No offense, but appear to be a Kings fan. The Kings, the style of hockey they play, had no business getting Carl Hagelin. He was useless in their system. Completely the opposite for the Capitals. He plugged straight in. He played on the 2nd 3rd and 4th lines. He played 4 on 4 and played 1st pk. He had 11pts after the trade deadline.
