Philadelphia Flyers: Robert Hagg has been a serviceable defenseman

Robert Hagg is never going to blow you away. That’s just not his game. He is a defenseman that steps in when needed and plays just enough to warrant the minutes he gets for the Flyers. They aren’t great minutes, but he isn’t a completely helpless player out there.

Coming into this season, he was expected to be the team’s seventh defenseman. Justin Braun, Matt Niskanen were brought in and Samuel Morin was expected to challenge for a spot on the blue line. Morin’s season ended early and some other injuries allowed Hagg to suit up for 49 games this season.
