Depends on the deal. I'd be willing to do Shaw for Hagelin straight up, ha! $3.9M for Shaw is much better than $6M for some of the other names being discussed.
26 years old, PKer, very nice FO% (although low #), not opposed to contact, potential 40 point guy, maybe more with Kessel...
You are going to have to add from the Penguins side to make such a deal. Nobody is making a one for one trade involving Hagelin unless you are getting an equally bad contract coming back.
Exactly. Take Hanzel for example. He has been a train wreck in Dallas. You'd be looking at taking someone with as much term or maybe a year more with a 4M hit or higher.
You could potentially find your 3C solution in Hanzel or he could be a complete flop and you have him for an additional year. So for me, to move Hagelin for another bad contract isnt very appealing.
I'm not sure you'd have to take a bad contract back. If you truly wanted to dump Hags, I'm sure Arizona would take a year and a half of his salary for a 3rd.
Last time I looked Arizona isn’t really drawing much in the way of fans and they certainly aren’t headed for the playoffs anytime soon. I’m not sure they are jumping up and down to take on Hagelin’s salary.
