Washington Capitals: Carl Hagelin’s 2018-19 Final Grade
Carl Hagelin joining the Washington Capitals might’ve been weird at first for long time Caps fans, but the small sample size speaks volumes.
Carl Hagelin had a weird journey in the last 365 days. After the Washington Capitals eliminated the Pittsburgh Penguins last spring, he was back in Pittsburgh before being traded to the Los Angles Kings.
It seemed like with the struggling season getting traded from a team that has a lot of talent to a declining one took a lot out of his game. Then Capitals General Manager Brian MacLellan came knocking at the door.
