BREAKING: Ex-Blackhawks Fan Favourite Earns Himself Massive 8-year $52M Deal
Tampa Bay Lightning has secured forward Brandon Hagel with an eight-year, $6.5 million AAV extension, beginning in 2024-25. This move ensures Hagel's prime years in the team's lineup and demonstrates Tampa's confidence in his growth.
Hagel, 25, who was set to become a restricted free agent, solidifies his future with the Lightning. His breakout performance in 2022-23 prompted this commitment, spanning his age 26 to 33 seasons.
The deal carries some risk, given Hagel's brief stint as a top-liner, yet his potential and two-way game make him a valued asset.
Tampa's belief in his offensive upside and defensive prowess positions Hagel as a key part of their future, and his $6.5 million AAV could prove a bargain as he continues to develop.
