Hagel is a similar player to Artturi Lehkonen, so it gives a good idea of what Kent Hughes might get for his Finnish forward, according to many experts. He too was considered to be the "Blake Coleman 2022", but with years left on his contract.
Hagel, 23, had 37 points in 55 games this season in Chicago (21 goals and 16 assists) and 24 points in 52 games last year. He was drafted in the 6th round by the Buffalo Sabres in 2016.
Another interesting aspect of this trade for the CH is that several teams that were in the race to acquire Hagel could very well turn to Montreal, and call up Kent Hughes, to up the ante for Artturi Lehkonen.
