QUESTION OF THE DAY — What Are YOUR Thoughts On James Hagens So Far During His Freshman Season?
The Mic sounds good dude! Keep up the good work!
Hagens is fine but, I think it is pretty clear now that Michael Misa is a much better prospect in a vacuum and specifically for the Blackhawks given the state of their prospect pool. If the Hawks end up with the #2 pick and both are on the board, I don't see any good reason for the Hawks to pass on Misa for Hagens.
Where are you seeing that Hagens is listed at 5'11"? NHL Central Scouting lists him at 5'10.5" NHL Central Scouting is the official physical measurement.
Misa is 2 years younger than Nick Lardis.
Sounds like whoever takes Hagens he should go back to school next season.
The Hawks are in desperate need of a big, scoring forward. I hope beyond hope that Misa will be there. I'd be happy with Martone as well. We need a gunslinger.
For the mailbag… if you were in charge, would you be willing to part with both of this year's first round picks to land a premier talent forward in the off season?
Go with who ever is bigger than the next guy.
Its crazy the intensity in your voice about "we need top 6 gamebreakers…"
They need top 3 guys
Brodies agent is amazing lol
I want Hagens I understand the Misa Truthers but I’m still a Hagens guy
Good job 👏 👍
