Yup. Really makes me wonder who they traded? Rust? Hags? Horny?
- Thorny87

Gotta be Rust, right? I doubt JR trades Hornqvist and Hagelin at best has neutral value right now.

Who's leaving? Any idea?

HAs to be cap in cap out.
The only comparable would be Rust from a pure cap standpoint.

Rust + pick/Prospect for Pearson is my guess.

Hagelin could work too but I don't see that being comparable value at all.

My first guesses are Rust or Hags as LA needs some speed in their lineup.

I think Rust out of that group. Nobody wants Hags at his hit and I don't believe Hornie is viewed as a problem (which I agree with). .

A DK guy just tweeted its Hagelin and some LA serious XM radio host also said that. If we pulled off Hagelin for Pearson I'll be very happy.

EDIT: Hagelin also not on the ice at practice right now apparently.

That's what I was thinking. NHL GM's still put a ton of value in past performance so maybe they do see Hags as a suitable replacement.

Hags for Pearson...straight up

Hags for Pearson 1 for 1

Great (frank)ing trade. Glad to see The Old Man can still make good moves.

If that's the deal.....that's kind of a steal. I think Hags hands have gotten even worse this year.

Great deal for PIT imo

He clearly read this thread and realized all of his recent moves have been fairly bad and jumped on the phone to call LA.

Not complaining about this deal but I'm left wondering how much of a negative impact this will have on our PK? Hags was basically the entire PK unit...

Pretty sure Pearson's stout in his own zone. Obviously Hagelin is one of the best PKers in the league, but we just got a ton better at 5v5, so taking a hit on the PK is worth it.

WTF is LA DOING?

That is the only potential downside. Hags was by far the best F PK wise.

Selling low.

Jesus.... Thats a steal! wow!
Somehow Wilson will find a negative out of this... just watch.

ZAR is a pretty good killer too.

Still got Rust, Sprong and the 2019 1st as trade chips

Well done JR, Well done

Nah on paper this is a total Wilson move.

Did we get a ton better? Traded slightly better offense for worse defense. I don't think I've ever really noticed Pearson but I don't watch a lot of LA games. Is he a good skater?

Yeah dunno why anyone thinks Wilson wouldn't like the move.

You bought low using an expiring asset.

Thats how to GM 101.
