Trade: Ducks and Penguins Make Three Player Trade
David Perron

Hagelin and Perron Warrior

The Anaheim Ducks trade forward Carl Hagelin to the Pittsburgh Penguins for forward David Perron and Adam Clendening.

The 27-year old Hagelin as drafted 168th overall in the 6th round of the 2007 by the Rangers.

The 27-year old Perron was drafted 26th overall in the 1st round of the 2007 draft by the Blues.

The 23-year old Clendening was drafted 36th overall in the 2nd round of the 2011 draft by the Blackhawks.

Hagelin has a $4 million cap hit and $3,667,000 salary for the next three years. His salary is $5 million this year.

Perron carries a $3,812,500 salary cap hit and will be a UFA at the end of the season.

Clendening carries a $761,250 cap hit and will be an RFA at the end of the season.

Thoughts from the media:

  • Pierre LeBrun: “Hagelin helps Pens team speed. Sullivan obviously had him in NY and likes the player a lot”
  • Dan Rosen: “In all seriousness, Pens add speed/good PK guy in Hagelin. Ducks get Perron, Clendenning and contract flexibility. Perron UFA after season.”
  • Dan Rosen: “The Ducks need that contract flexibility with so many RFAs coming up at season’s end, including Lindholm, Vatanen and Rakell.”
  • Pierre LeBrun: “Thought Hagelin would fit in well in Anaheim, never really did. Back in the Metro now”
