Hagelin Could Be a Series Changer
Pierre LeBrun of ESPN.com lists Carl Hagelin as one of his five rookies who could have an impact in the first round...3. Carl Hagelin, New York Rangers
The sixth-round pick from the 2007 NHL draft has been a revelation this season, Hagelin's speed and agility producing timely goals for a team that doesn't have tremendous offensive depth. He's been paired mostly with first-liners Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik over the last few weeks of the regular season, but he's a guy you can bounce around from line to line and trust he can quickly adjust and make an impact.
...well deserved recognition for the player who has essentially fostered the chemistry between Richards and Gaborik.
...Hagelin's speed could be key in this series for the Rangers as there's not many players on the team who can go stride for stride with Ottawa's skill players. He could be a huge factor defensively.
