Haag will be playing because Ek can’t. Once Ek is back, him and the other boys will be in the pressbox.

Lol you wanna rely on Kiersted and Carlsson on the way to the cup? Oof. 68 NHL games between the 2 of them.
Wow, Mercenaries?The Cup victory isn't decided based on how many games the players have accrued prior entering the race. Besides, Hagg is bigger hazard than those two regardless of the amount of NHL games played.
Zito just purchased another mercenary who is bound to make mistakes because it takes time to learn the system and get familiar with the other players. But no amount of games with the Cats will not offset his lack of talent for NHL action. Just a waste of another draft pick.

Basically invisible which is a fine thing for a 3rd pairing D man. Nothing to complain aboutlet me guess. he has been awful so far for you guys?
I think we will also begin to give Gudas the occasionally day off now that Hagg is here to be honest...Hagg can eat some minutes
Based on what I’ve seen over the past few games, this appears 100% accurate. He’s a step (slide?) slow, doesn’t handle the puck quite well enough, doesn’t pass quite well enough, doesn’t time things quite well enough… it’s not off a lot BUT at this level fractions of seconds and inches count. Hagg brings all these fractions with him and they hurt overall.Having had both on the Flyers...
you dont want to do that aha.
Gudas is a legit good depth Dman who can be effective as a #4. (as I guess you all know by now!)
Hagg is a #7-8 Dman who can lose you games on his own sadly. And even when not making mistakes is death by 1000 cuts with his bad blue-line D and inability to get puck out of the zone.
Hägg clearly is a depth signing for a steady decent no-nonsense Dman. In Lindbohm we have the big body, and with Carlsson the most offensively skilled among the 3. As Appleyard pointed out, we should not see Hägg on the ice at all when we are healthy, but neither the other 2.Based on what I’ve seen over the past few games, this appears 100% accurate.

So chiarot not even worth mentioning...?Carlsson was invisible. Carlsson is a decent bottom pair d-man.
You notice Hagg when he struggling to gently lift the puck up the ice to no one in particular, and you also notice when he's barely moving his feet, staring at the puck, while a forward gets in behind him.
Our depth chart should be:
1) Ekblad
2) Weegar
3) Forsling
4) Gudas
5) Montour
6) Lindbohm
7) Carlsson
8) Kiersted
9) Hagg
My bad.So chiarot not even worth mentioning...?
Hagg has been bad. He has no defensive awareness, no puck skills, and he constantly gets burned in transition. Carlsson and Linbohm are both decisively better. And it's even more important to have a steady guy on the bottom pair when his partner is someone as unpredictable as Montour.hagg has been good for us.. but then again nobody is expecting that much. Carlson got better and made the save of the year. I hope we get him a game or two down the stretch. lindbohm not so much.
