Hagelin traded to Anaheim

Submitted by enlightenedbum on

My favorite non-Wing trade to my least favorite team.  Boo.  Rangers get Emerson Etem and the 41st pick in the draft in return.

Had to be done. Was a cap casualty. Although an RFA, negotiations were going nowhere. Plus, he was garbage in in the playoffs. As a Rangers fan, I'm only slightly upset he's gone. Etem will fill his role on the third line for half the cost and more offensive skill but much less speed.

A great 5 minutes for NYR haters...Hagelin goes for nothing and Talbot (whom people were claiming would be traded for a 1st rounder or Yakupov) goes for 3 middling picks.  

And oh yeah, they don't have a first rounder next year either because of the Yandle trade.

I don't hate either move. Sather already flipped the picks in the talbot trade for more. Both players were 100% gone after this season. Ranger haters find a way to hate or complain about any move the team makes. They've been pretty good the last 4-5 years without winning a cup.

I posted that JT Compher was traded from buffalo along with their 1st round pick from 2012 to my Avs for Ryan O'Reilly and co earlier today.
