Carl Hagelin signs with Anaheim; acquires currency
Carl just signed with Anaheim for 4 years and $16 million. Congrats to our favorite Swede.

I did like seeing him in the Rangers unis though. Much better looking than Anaheim's brown-silver-orange disaster.

In much less glamorous news, Scooter Vaughan signed with the Chicago Wolves today.
Re: uniform downgrade, every Original Six uniform is among the best in sports, full stop. Anaheim is a bigger downgrade than others, but going from any Original Six club to any other team (in any sport) is likely to be a step down.

I cannot stand Corey Perry, or anything about the Ducks. Other than Cogliano

Or Getzlaf... what a fucking ahole.

you are ever feeling down on yourself just google 'Ryan Getzlaf hairline' and you'll feel better.

headed to a good team at a pretty nice price. I think he works much better as a complement to others than as a lead guy, and this is a nice place for him to land.

Good for Carl! That's a good sum of cheese! Survey

Disregard females while acquiring said currency?

Anaheim didn't comment on that aspect unfortunately

Huge Rangers fan. Love Hagelin's speed and PK ability but $4MM per year is a lot for a third liner who doesn't finish.

I am very sad, and have been very sad since the trade. I'm not huge on wearing jerseys, but when a M guy is on one of my professional teams, I've gotten them. I got the Hagelin home jersey for the Rangers (first since my kid sized Messier one), and still sport my David Harris to every Jets game I go to.
Hags was universally loved by his teammates in NY, and though he wasn't a prolific scorer for the Rangers, his speed constantly put the pressure on opposing defenders and led to a lot of scoring opportunities. Damn you, NHL salary cap! Wish him luck in the future!

There isn't anything I like about the Ducks. Love Carl and his hair but I can rally around his new team or their fans.

I was really hoping as part of Hagelin's deal that his face would be put on the Swedish Krona. Or on whatever currency they use in Anaheim.
