I have to say I was a little wrong about Hagel.
When Tampa traded Taylor Raddysh, Boris Katchouk, conditional round 1 pick in the 2023 draft (Oliver Moore) and round 1 pick in the 2024 draft (Cole Eiserman) it looked like a ridiculous overpayment.
And two top 20 picks in Moore and Eiserman is still a really high price to pay.
At the time Hagel had 61 points in 107 career NHL games, and it looked like it was a huge over payment to get 2 1sts for him.
But he's actually been a pretty good player for them and is over a point per game this year, and 201 points in his last 218 games with the Lightning.
