Pittsburgh Trades
Rackell*

Toronto Trades
NRobertson
1st Round Pick 2024
3rd Round Pick 2024 (NYI Pick)


*Pens retain 50% of Rakell's remaining contract.


Pittsburgh free falling out of the playoffs and needing to get younger and draft picks will be looking at making deals similar to this, Dubas who knows NRobertson well would I am sure welcome him in The Pittsburgh organization.

The Leafs looking to bolster their lineup get a better version of Jarnkrok in Rackell and can see his style fit in very well in Toronto and can play on any line as well as wing or centre just like Jarnkrok but has more offence capabilities.

Hope not for Toronto. Rakell is not close to being with that.

Rackell has never really been the same guy as he was back in Anaheim. I figured he coulda flirted with 40 goals playing in Pittsburgh, however he has regressed.
If I were Leafs management, maybe small tweaks, nothing to major.

Rackell is a shell of his former self. Pit is stuck with him.
