As others stated I think the Wild overpaid for Hanzel but they are in win now mode. What it does for the Wild is allow them to have the depth to run out 4 lines every game, their bottom 6 now is pretty tough now. And then worst case Hanzel can be a top 6 center if an injury occurs.

Also I think the Penguins overpaid for Hainsey but with the impression it is a weaker draft the 2nd pick isn't that big of a loss.

If he was gritty I'm sure he would've been playing top line minutes at some point for the Burke-era Leafs instead of being traded for Versteeg.

So just fast and skilled then?!?!?

Probably. I'm not sure at what activity exactly but I'm sure we'll find out it isn't hockey when he's given 15 minutes a game with the Sens

Ottawa got Alex Burrows today. He's a good player but we gave up a pretty good prospect in Jonathan Dahlen though.

NBC Sports has gotten ridiculously aggressive on their ads for people streaming.
