“(When) you go back to the same age you're talking about a guy who's showing the same skills and talent as the Mitch Marners and the Patrick Kanes,” said Marr.
“These little guys who when they're soaking wet they hardly weigh anything, but they have this elusive speed, smarts and skills that they can go out and generate offence.”
Not always an easy transition from Jrs to the pro. Going to the SHL is hard. He'll need at least another year in Sweden.
Elite Prospects has him at 161 lbs
I wonder if people are over looking Hagg as part of this deal. He never developed (or at least hasn’t) offensively as people thought in the 2013 draft, but I think he could become more like McCabe. He has size, can skate and with Girardi’s help I think he’ll become a solid stay at home D.
If we want to be harder to play against, Zach L'Heureux, who I have 30th on my board, would be a real interesting pick at 33 if available. He could easily become our Marchand.
It would really depend on how they view UPL and Portillo. If you draft a goalie that early you expect him to be your franchise goalie in a year or two. That would mean that they don't see UPL as that guy.
I think the return for Risto was excellent, but Hagg is not a step forward on the ice for next season. So "good" trade, but not a step forward in the short-term.
