The veteran was set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st.<\/p>\n<p>In his 20 games with the Capitals, Carl Hagelin totaled three goals and eight assists for 11 points. He also added one assist during Washington&#8217;s brief playoff run this year. His 2018-19 season of 56 total games collected him five goals and 14 assists for 19 points overall.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/rangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Rangers<\/a> selected Hagelin 17th in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL Draft, 168th overall. He is a two-time Stanley Cup Champion, winning both cups with the Penguins in 2016 and 2017. Notably, his 237:14 minutes of penalty kill time in the playoffs ranks seventh in the league among active forwards.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>Washington originally acquired Hagelin to boost their forward depth and add speed to their penalty kill unit. His veteran status brings a level of reliability to the team, and he can move between the different lines with ease. He averaged a respectable 14:56 minutes of ice time with the Capitals since his arrival last season.<\/p>\n<p>Hagelin is a defensively minded forward, and the team will look to him to take on a more prominent role in his first full season on the bench.
