Cough ...,edler......

Can't compare. Hagelin has barely been part of the Kings. Edler is our longest serving player. Hagelin wasn't going to re-sign with the Kings. Edler is likely to re-sign with the Canucks. The Kings are not in a playoff race. The Canucks are, and even if they don't make it, being competitive this late in the season is a lot of value for our young competitors. Most importantly, Hagelin does not have a NTC. Edler does and has no desire (from all reports) to waive it.

Acquiring draft picks for veterans.........what a concept. 

Hagelin for a 3rd isn't much of a return. LA retaining 50% salary and cap as well only makes it worse. If all we can get for Edler is a 3rd round pick, I rather just keep Edler.

I think the Hagelin acquisition is pretty good at the price that the Caps paid, in addition to the 50% retained salary. 

 

As others have mentioned, he has good speed and can slot in the Top 9 without any issues; most likely will be playing 3rd line minutes with special teams while offering 2nd line flexibility if any of the usuals have a rut in their play down the stretch

 

He will be wearing his familiar #62 as well
