So back to when we were talking about how Kessel and Hagelin need someone with a net front presence, like Bonino, it was talked about how Hagelin wasn't the net front guy, but it goes to show that since 2013-14, Hags has 53 goals, 50 at even strength & 3 on the PP. Looking at his scoring chart above, the red dots are the goals, and I'd say about 10? are outside the home plate area around the net, so around 80% of his goals are scored around that area where "net front presence" players play... so... again... those 2 don't need a net front presence, because they have one.. in Hagelin.

For comparisons sake, I've included Bones goals since 2013-14 too.. and judging by the scattering of his goals.. he is way less of a net front presence than Hagelin...
