Caps acquire Hagelin
Chris19:
I don't mind this given what we gave up. The PK definitely needs help. He's better than any of our 4th line guys now and plays with some grit.
BUT overall... this doesn't address the defensive woes.

I can only think of a handful of players who's character would be detrimental to the Capitals team, Hagelin is near the top of the list. I have never liked the guy. I hope he can get along with the team.

What is it that you have seen that makes you think he has such a detrimental attitude?
waynerivers:
Completely useless and stupid move. We need help on DEFENSE, not to add another forward and a midget at that. Just dumb as a box of rocks.
Beaglefan2:
I like it. Speed helps and he has been good in the playoffs. Didn't give up a ton and let DSP go - so I think it is a significant upgrade. Yes, DSP scored a few key goals for us last year, but he came in way out of shape this year and has been slow with hands of stone all year.
Since we didn't give up much, I don't think this takes the place of a move to bolster the defense.

But if this is the only deal we do, and we don't do any other deals because of this one, than I would have rather passed. Defense still needs addressing. Maybe GMBM is going to try to address the defense with a Bura trade.

I agree, if it would be the only one deal I will regret it however with our GMBM it’s better than nothing.
