Caps acquire Hagelin
Mickstix:
Alan May's excited, so.. :wackysmile: Wouldn't hold my breath on a defenseman. They'd have to move Burt for decent cap space and Burt's showing that once a year push that gets management all hot and bothered.. They won't trade him on a high note. :yawn:

DSP cleared waivers, whatever that's going to mean. This is a good improvement for the cost, as long as he fits in well. That's why I hate rentals. It will be interesting to see where he goes in the line up. At least Hagelin didn't come directly from the Hens, so maybe some of that stink has washed off.
:snicker:
This team still desperately needs help on D, 4 days left to fix it

Hagelin always struck me as an a-hole. Partly due to his brash attitude on the ice, but he also strikes me as not a very nice guy just watching him in interviews and a few small moments watching him interact with others who were not opponents. I hope I'm wrong, but I feel he may not be a good match for the character of the Capitals. He also brings the stink of Rags and Hens with him. That's a pretty big stink.
BarfingMonkey:
He's arrogant and cocky? Maybe we need someone like this, balance.
zerofox:
This does not address our biggest need on defense, but it comes at a pretty low cost. Only draft picks and salary was retained. That's a low cost for potentially decent (not high) upside. Had we given up more I would be feeling very different about things.
If this is our only move I'd be very disappointed, but this is not a bad start to trade deadline season.
