The details of the trade are below.The Penguins have acquired forward Tanner Pearson (@tannerjpearson) from the LA Kings in exchange for Carl Hagelin.Pearson's contract carries an average annual value of $3.75 million and he is signed through the 2020.21 season. Details: https://t.co/hRFEwMpUb5 pic.twitter.com/59sci5oAso— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) November 14 Alex Pietrangelo Jersey Kids , 2018Pearson was among the many LA forwards that simply couldn't find the back of the net, and it's a reason why they're the worst team in the NHL right now. He has zero goals and one assist on the season.Hagelin has equally struggled, with just one goal and two assists in 16 games so far. But with good puck possession numbers (a 52.0 Corsi For percentage),聽yet a woeful 3.6 shooting percentage (his career is 9.8 percent), it suggests that Hagelin has simply been a product of bad luck.advertising Credit: Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY SportsHagelin could be paired alongside captain Anze Kopitar - one of the best playmakers in the NHL - so maybe that will help him regain his scoring form. Hagelin is in the final year of his contract, so a strong finish in Los Angeles would do him some good as free agency looms.What This MeansPittsburgh has lost six of its last seven games - and they currently sit third-last in the Eastern Conference. Los Angeles has a horrible 5-11-1 record, and they're dead-last in the NHL right now.Pearson and Hagelin simply weren't scoring with their respective teams, but the former figures to be paired with either Sidney Crosby or Evgeni Malkin. Both players http://www.officialpenguinsproshop.com/authentic-adidas-derick-brassard-jersey , of course, have long histories of turning almost every linemate into a 20-30 goal guy. Pearson is two years removed from a 23-goal season, so he has shown the ability to flourish聽as a reliable scorer.advertisingFor the Kings, unloading the remainder of Pearson's contract also helps them save valuable cap space going forward. Acquiring Hagelin is low-risk. They can re-sign him if he does well, or simply let the Swede walk in free agency if it doesn't pan out. A fine move here by GM Rob Blake.
