Rickard Rakell has only been a member of the Penguins organization for a few days and time will be the judge as to whether or not the recent trade between Pittsburgh and Anaheim is successful.
History is on the side of the Penguins, however, when it comes to deals made between the two organizations.
On Monday, the Penguins dealt Zach Aston-Reese, Dominik Simon, Calle Clang, and a 2nd-round pick in exchange for the 28-year-old Swedish winger.
Let’s revisit some of the past trades between the Penguins and the Ducks and consider how they turned out for each team:
October 2019
Penguins trade: Erik Gudbranson
Penguins receive: Andreas Martinsen, 7th-round pick
The Erik Gudbranson Experience didn’t last all that long in Pittsburgh.
