Familiarity Breeds an Acquisition with Carl Hagelin Trade

In what has been a whirlwind of a couple days for the Capitals, Washington went out and got Carl Hagelin in an expected yet still surprising trade with the Los Angeles Kings.

The Capitals acquired Hagelin in exchange for a 2019 third round pick and conditional sixth round pick in 2020, the team announced Friday. The Post’s Isabelle Khurshudyan provided more detail in regards to the trade.
