Fare thee well Hags: Carl Hagelin announced his retirement this week due to the eye injury he suffered in March 2022 followed by a hip injury before last season. As Larry Brooks noted, the Rangers never came close to replacing him after his trade to Ducks for Emerson Etem and a second rounder who became Ryan Gropp. Sather's last trade before stepping up to the presidency and among his worst. Hagelin brought massive speed to the third line and on the penalty kill while providing a bit of scoring touch. The deal was somewhat salary related but was a horrific trade and a shortsighted move by Sather, shocker.
Forever a part of the #NYR family.
