(proposal) Hagelin for bonino and stanton


Recommended Posts

Benning should look at trading for Carl hagelin in the off season, I've done the math and there is no way the rangers keep hagelin as Derek stepan will be making 5 mill for sure. To keep their team competitive next year the rangers will want a roster player for hagelin thus my proposal of bonino and Stanton for hagelin. Bonino and hagelin are the same age and have similar stats over the past two years, boninos friendly cap hit allows new York to stay competitive and hagelin gives van arguably the fastest player in the league to go on a line with Matthias and vrbata. Down the road hagelin and virtanen would be an amazingly fast unstoppable line! 2 yrs down the road maybe, hagelin, horvat, virtanen.

Who's our 2nd line center then? We have enough wingers with skill who could fit in the middle 6 group. Not sure Bo could do that yet, nor should Vey or Matthias (both are better as wingers) and Bones is the closest guy we'd have for that IMO.

Unless we get another Top 6 C I'd be against it; besides, Brassard and Stepan should be their Top-6 guys, and Dominic Moore and James Sheppard are their bottom-6. They look pretty set up the middle and I have no interest in either Moore or Sheppard.

Hank - _____ - Horvat - Richardson(?)

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows

Hagelin-Matthias-Vrbata

Higgins-Richardson-Kassian

Kenins-Horvat-Dorsett

Vey

Weak at center but not impossible. Not a cup winning team that's for sure. I'm thinking Hagelin's defensive game could make up for Bonino's D zone work. Make moves for a solid #2 C in off season or promote Horvat.

Next year's second line:

Hagelin - Horvat/FA - Vrbata

Hansen and Baertschi still need time. Neither of them can be sent down without clearing waivers (Hansen's a regular already) and Sven would probably get picked up, so we'd waste a 2nd. Keeping him up as the 2nd healthy scratch just might stunt his development.

Danny, Baertschi, Burr, Kass, Vrbata, Higgins, Kenins, Dorsett, Vey, Hansen, add Hagelin and we have 11 guys vying for 8 spots. Can you say logjam? (Kenins could get sent down waiver-free I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but it'd be a waste as he's been productive with Bo).

From what I've seen, many of Matthias' best games have come when he plays as a centre. He plays well enough on the wing, but he also excels as a centreman.

Not any different than now. It's not like we're adding forward depth. Take Hagelin out of the list you made and add Matthias and that's our team as of now. Tell me how it's less of a "log-jam"?

What we lack on our top six is speed, hagelin would bring that and paired on a line with kassian and assuming the canucks trade either bieksa or hamhuis in off season we could afford a legit 2nd line center line soderberg. Next years lines within the cap of 69 mill could look like

D sedin h sedin a burrows

C hagelin c soderberg z kassian

S baertschi s Matthias r vrbata

D dorsett b horvat j hansen
