Carl Hagelin was selected in the sixth round draft, 168th overall, by the New York Rangers at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. Hagelin made his NHL debut against the Washington Capitals on 25 November 2011, registering an assist on a goal by Brian Boyle for his first NHL point. Hagelin then scored his first career NHL goal the next day against goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky of the Philadelphia Flyers. On 27 June 2015, Hagelin, slated to become a restricted free agent on 1 July, was traded along with two draft picks to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Emerson Etem and a second-round selection in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, which New York used to pick Ryan Gropp. He was later signed to a four-year contract with the Ducks on 14 August 2015. In the 2015–16 season, Hagelin struggled with his new club, failing to reproduce his scoring presence from his tenure with the Rangers. With 12 points in 43 games, Hagelin was traded by the Ducks to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forward David Perron and defenceman Adam Clendening on 16 January 2016. Soon after Hagelin's arrival, he was paired with Phil Kessel and Nick Bonino. The line found instant chemistry and the infamous "HBK" line was formed. Arguably the leagues best "third line" the HBK line helped the Penguins down the stretch, all the way to the team's 4th Stanley Cup title in franchise history.
