I thought it'd be a nice stroll down memory lane to revisit some of the impactful trades made by penguins FO since the 2017 cup.

Of course a lot of these trades can be classified as a GM/FO attempting to keep contending for cups, and they were. However, a lot of fans forget how much these trades truly impacted the future of the team and shows where they are today.

While obviously the penguins (or any team) can't keep every single player it shows that they moves on from various solid players (McCann, Matheson, Marino Addison, Gustavsson) for generally worse players. (yes some of those players were prospects).

I think it shows the toll a team pays for trying to continue to contend for multiple years after cup success and how it's really put them in a bad place in the modern build of the team.


Rutherford was a great GM and helped shape the back to back team, he also then helped run the team into the ground with various moves and Hextall picked up where Rutherford left off.

I will be curious to watch what Dubas does in his Tenure.
