The Blackhawks made their first move of the 2022 NHL trade deadline, trading Brandon Hagel to the Lightning on Friday.was the first to report the Hagel trade while reported the full trade details.The and Trade:Hagel4th round 224th round 24KatchoukRaddysh1st round 231st round 24 House of Bucci Mane (@Buccigro s) The 23-year-old forward is enjoying a career year, breaking out with 21 goals and 37 points in 55 games in his second full season in Chicago. He's also only in his first year of his three-year, $4.5 million contract
Jerry Stackhouse Jersey with the Blackhawks, carrying a very cheap $1.5 million cap hit for two more seasons.For the Lightning, it's very reminiscent of the Blake Coleman/Barclay Goodrow pickups from the past two deadlines, both which helped the team to win two Stanley Cups. Like Hagel, they weren't the biggest names to be moved at the deadline, but are exactly the kind of player needed on a championship team.New Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson capitalized by trading a promising young player with term at his highest value, taking back multiple picks and players that will help as Chicago enters a long-term rebuild.Brandon Hagel trade detailsLightning get: Brandon Hagel, 2022 fourth-round pick, 2024 fourth-round pickBlackhawks get: 2023 first-round pick, 2024 first-round pick, Boris Katchouk, Taylor RaddyshHagel came out of nowhere this season as a reliable offensive weapon for the Blackhawks this season.
Bill Laimbeer Jersey His 21 goals rank only behind Alex DeBrincat for the team lead, thanks in part to his off-the-charts22.3% shooting percentage.He'll fit in right on Tampa Bay's third line as a nice replacement for Goodrow and Coleman, who the Lightning lost in free agency this offseason. He's not as strong defensively as either of the former Lightning players, but he's not a liability.Brandon Hagel, acquired by TB, is a playmaking middle-six forward who loves to attack off the rush. Draws lots of penalties as well. JFresh (@JFreshHockey) If it was any other team trading away multiple first-round picks for Hagel, I'd call them
Detroit Pistons Jersey insane. But that logic doesn't nece sarily apply
Tracy McGrady Jersey to BriseBois and the Lightning. He traded away first-round picks for Goodrow, Coleman and David Savard over the past two trade deadlines, leaving some people scratching their heads at the cost, but it resulted in two Stanley Cup rings.Hagel also has two more years under his contract before he's an RFA, so he's not a rental. He's young enough that the Lightning could eventually sign him to a long-term deal before he hits his prime. And given the trajectory early in his career, he could be well worth the two first-round picks.As for the Blackhawks, this was the kind of "can't say no" offer Davidson needed to be offered in order to trade Hagel. They still are without a 2021 first-round pick, traded away to the Blue Jackets in the Seth Jones deal, but now have two first-rounders for a 2023 draft expected to be much deeper than this year's and two
Reggie Jackson Jersey first-rounders in 2024.In addition, they got two players in Taylor Raddysh and Boris Katchouk that are in their first NHL season. Both taken in the second round of the 2016 draft, Raddysh had 12 points in 57 games for Tampa Bay while Katchouk had six points in 38 games.Raddysh played with Dylan Strome and DeBrincat when the three were in the OHL with the Erie Otters. Katchouk and Raddysh, who , can contribute immediately and figure prominently into the team's future.
