Expect Boris to slide into Hagel's old spot on Kane's line.
Hagal wasn't considered a great prospect when he joined the Hawks as an unsigned 6 round pick. But he worked hard and parlayed ice time with Kane into being a good player.

All three guys are 1998 born players, and prior to this year I think Raddysh and Katchouk would have both had more trade value than Hagel.
In their professional hockey careers prior playing in the NHL:
Hagel: 0.58 PPG
Raddysh: 0.69 PPG
Katchouk: 0.54 PPG
I don't think anybody would have taken Hagel over Raddysh or Katchouk coming into this season.
Only difference is this year all of a sudden Hagel got top 6 ice time on a bad team, and is shooting 23%.
If Hagel is shooting a more sustainable (and realistic) 12%, and he has 12 goals instead of 21 then no chance he returns this package.
Raddysh and Katchouk have been playing on a 4th line with each other, and Tampa's 4th line has been extremely effective.
While Hagel gets to play with Kane, Toews, Strome, and Debrincat for most of his minutes.
I honestly think Tampa could come out of this a worse team right now.
