Good deal. Hagelin was huge down the stretch for the Caps play, a puck moving sound defensive forward with great speed. Without him, we wouldn't have had the March we had. And if we didn't have the March we had, we may have been a lowly wild card team. Who knows, might not even have made the playoffs. They had just come off a 7 game losing streak in Feb.
Anyway, everyone is complaining about the length, but seem to forget that GMBM is magical in making term disappear. Look at what he literally just did with Niskanen, he got arguably a better player for half of the AAV. And shed what? 9 million in cap the next two years to do it?
Getting rid of Hagelin's measly 2.7 million in the 4th year will be easy peasy for this GM. Not worried in the slightest about the term.
