Anaheim Ducks general manager Bob Murray made another trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins late Friday night. The deal swapped Carl Hagelin for David Perron and Adam Clendening was also sent to Anaheim.
Murray spoke on the deal earlier today stating that he felt Hagelin was not a great fit with the Ducks and that both Hagelin and Perron could benefit from a change of scenery. Perron is a more talented offensive player which could obviously help the Ducks, who are the leagues lowest scoring team, while Hagelin’s speed should help Pittsburgh as well.
Murray also stated that “We have some young RFAs coming up this next year and the year after, and mostly on defense, as you can tell.
