Amazing it took them this long to throw less than 6 million dollars at Trevor Zegras but had absolutely no issue immediately offering a 34 year old, inevitable regression bound Alex Killorn 6.25 over the next 4 lol

Good locker room guy. Hope he does well and earns a contract! A little slow as he’s getting older but heart and soul player and willing to sacrifice the body and block shots and can net a few goals. Don’t ask him to fight though lol feel like he never wins

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>The cap must be going up in leaps and bounds over the next decade because holy smokes that's an expensive third liner</div></div>

Hagel is not a third liner. He spent most of the year on the top line and in the playoffs his line was our best line, whether you call it a 2nd line or not. He had 30 goals and 64 points last year.

Thread: I am excited to see how Brisebois manages this cap

Eyssimont will almost certainly be in the lineup, hopefully in the middle six. Perbix should be Hedman's partner based on what we've seen so far.

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Brandon Hagel (8 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

I think there's a bit of over reacting to this, maybe because it came out of nowhere.
I think it's a good contract for player and team.
I just don't know where the Bolts are going to get the cap space, especially since there's no Seabrook after this year...

Absolute steal for Tampa Bay. Hagel is significantly underrated. This contract is going to age VERY well. GO BOLTS!

I love seeing all these armchair GMs trash this deal. I'm pretty sure TBL knows a thing or 3 about winning Stanley Cups.

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Brandon Hagel (8 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

Let's list all the non-ELC 30+ goal scorers:

McDavid 12.5mm
Pasta 11.25
Rantanen 9.25
Drai 8.5
Point 9.5
Tage 7.1 (funny people pooped on this deal too)
Robertson 7.75
Hughes 8.0
Mac 12.6
Ovi 9.5
Scheifele 6.125
Verhaege 4.17(signed after scoring 9G)
Kempe 5.5 (signed after scoring 14 G)
Kapri 9.0
Matthews 11.6
McCann 5.0
Meier 8.8
Nylander 6.9
Tkachuk 9.5
Kuzmenko 5.5
Petterson 7.3
Stutzle 8.35
Zib 8.5
Horvat 8.5
Hintz 8.45
Keller 7.15
Kyrou 8.13
RNH 5.13 (signed after scoring 16 G)

I don't think I need to keep going to prove my point. 30+ goal scorers at $6.5mm just do not exist, especially in a new cap world that begins next year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Waaaaaay too small of a sample size to give Hagel a contract like this. A 2-year bridge deal around 4M would've been more appropriate.</div></div>

really? he's a career .62 PPG player over 3 seasons (two with the worst CHI team in a decade) then he was a major contributor in their playoff games last year.
now that he's playing on a much better team this contract is at the very least market value. with the cap going up and given that he's only 24 this is a great deal!

Thread: Tampa Bay Lightning signed Brandon Hagel (8 Years / $6,500,000 AAV)

Vote and comments obviously show people got no clue how good Hagel has been with Tampa.
He's no middle six winger, he's a top six winger, and we haven't even seen the best of him yet.

Awesome deal, extremely happy about this one.

💩 Of a return!!!!!!</div></div>

Swaggy and Marchessault are revisionist history. Nobody had them becoming what they are, and for every one of them theres a Namestnikov or Connolly. Fact of the matter is we probably didn't have the cap to keep Colton and have any semblance of competitive depth. And if Colton gets bank then it's a bullet dodged.

Thread: Top tier contender to get in and see what happens the plight of a flat cap

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>VastBluepuppy424</b></div><div>honestly, I think the opposite. He's going to want 4+ Million from Colorado and play like 16-17 Minutes Per Night.

Without Colton, Yes we have to worry about him being Really Good, But we also have Depth and the Ability to Sign some guys to Cheap Contracts.

Also we can trade for Jack McBain from Arizona or Michael McLeod from New Jersey if we miss Ross Colton</div></div>

Neither are near as good

He got his Cup rings now he get the BAG. Good for him and I'm sure this AAV lessens the sting of losing him for Tampa fans.
