Hagelin isn't a shooter. So what does that do?
Hagelin is simply not a fit for any of those players because he is a bottom six player without size. If he was a net presence, that could negate the rest of his flaws. That's primarily why Clarkson was even able to succeed with those guys. His flaws were not exploited playing there since he had a very specific role.
and even with his limited skill set, he's trailing Clarkson by just 9 goals over the last three seasons (inclusive of Clarkson's 30 goal campaign) while blowing past him in points
Goals - Clarkson - 50 Hagelin - 41
Points - Clarkson - 81 Hagelin - 95
+/- - Clarkson - -28 Hagelin +39
Clarkson has gotten 1:03 of PP time this year, 3:33 last year and 3:03 in 11-12
Hagelin - :12 this year, 1:02 last year and :20 in 11-12
take away both players PP points and the numbers get worse for Clarkson.
He's a bum compared to Hagelin
