UNDERRATED NO MORE: Why Lightning’s Brandon Hagel SHOULD Be Household Name With Elite Two-Way Play

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 18:56:58 GMT

Brandon Hagel powers the Tampa Bay Lightning with elite two-way play—has the NHL finally underestimated him for the last time? Nick Morgan breaks down Hagel’s impact as the Lightning’s emotional heartbeat, from his playoff heroics and leadership to his bargain long-term contract. Hagel’s versatility on special teams and clutch performances spark the debate: Is he the league’s most underrated player?

Morgan also tackles the league-wide shift in contract strategy with Macklin Celebrini’s record-breaking deal and what it means for the future of young stars like Leo Carlsson and Connor Bedard. Plus, the episode revisits Lightning history, comparing the improbable 2004 Stanley Cup run to the back-to-back championships in 2020 and 2021—was the original triumph actually more impressive? Don’t miss this sharp analysis of player value, NHL contract trends, and what sets Tampa Bay apart.

NEXT LEVEL: Can Jake Guentzel TOP 100 Points With Tampa Bay Lightning Next Season?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 17:00:00 GMT

Jake Guentzel surges for the Tampa Bay Lightning with a career-best 88-point season, igniting fresh hopes for a century mark in 2027. Will Guentzel find another gear alongside Nikita Kucherov, Brayden Point, and Brandon Hagel to lead the Lightning's offense into elite territory? Nick Morgan and Greg Stephen examine Guentzel’s evolving game, his physical edge, and how a revitalized power play could push his production even higher.

Discussion heats up around the NHL’s bold new All-Star Game format—an international 3-on-3 showdown featuring Team USA, Team Canada, Team Sweden, Team Finland, and a stacked World roster with stars like Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy. The hosts debate whether this reinvention can revive fan excitement or if the All-Star concept itself is past its prime. Can the NHL’s latest shakeup restore meaning to midseason festivities, or is it time for a new tradition?
