Quoting: InfamousJB
I wish the rest of the caps fans would understand this....
Hagelin, was not signed to score. sure, secondary scoring is GREAT, he was singed for one reason and one reason only, to KILL F'n Penalties..
He is not going to give you 15,20,25 or 30 goals.. HE is going to kill. That's what he is here for. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Trade him and now you are back to using 19 on the PK... Typically you want to avoid that..
Now, panik, I would pay Detroit to take him.. its a salary dump.. so a 4th should be about the cost... along with a prospect to say thanks for the help.
You don't like Panik on PK? Interesting. I thought they signed him because he had played 90 minutes the year before on Arizona's league leading PK.

LOL he pulled out the cost per point on me. Kucherov makes 9.5 million don't even try to compare the two
If they each played 82 games, Panik was on pace for 31 points this year, and Hagelin was on pace for 35. They each make 2.75M/year. For mid-career checking wings, the value is solid.
For comparison, in Detroit's bottom six, Luke Glendening cost $200k per point last year, Darren Helm $240k, Justin Abdelkader, $1.46 million.
If Detroit wanted slightly better contracts in their bottom six, they make this trade. But they don't. They want to get younger and develop future superstars. So they pass, even before it costs a 2nd they're not parting with.
