| 0:00.0 | The player, we're really excited about having a team. |
| 0:05.0 | Charles had a lot of success in the league, a number of playoff experience, you know, the games he's played, |
| 0:15.0 | a huge, huge, I think, game for us in terms of speed experience and obviously the championship experience as well. |
| 0:26.1 | So additionally to that, we see him being a big part of our penalty killing and continuing to try to make that better. |
| 0:35.3 | Sound the alarms, we've got a trade. |
| 0:41.1 | The caps get out ahead of the trade deadline, which is Monday at 3 o'clock, |
| 0:46.2 | and they make a move trading a third round pick next year and a conditional sixth round pick |
| 0:51.7 | in 2020 for Carl Haglin. I'm Rob Carlin with Alan May and |
| 0:58.5 | Ryan Billy for our emergency podcast. Alan, your first thought. We heard his name rumored. |

| 1:46.1 | that's why the wave of the million dollar salary of Devante Spipelli, that with the open |
| 1:52.6 | cap space that they had and having too many players. That's why that move had to be played. |
| 1:57.7 | But on the other side of it, Carl Hagelin's been a terrific player in the playoffs over the course of his career, rather with New York Rangers or the Pittsburgh Penguins.
