Through the years, the Penguins have made their share of memorable trades. On March 4, 1991, then-GM Craig Patrick engineered the granddaddy of them all, dealing John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski and Jeff Parker to Hartford for Ron Francis, Ulf Samuelsson and Grant Jennings.
The trade galvanized a talented but underachieving team and propelled the Pens to their first Stanley Cup.
The following spring Patrick struck gold again, acquiring rugged winger and former Pens assistant Rick Tocchet along with defensemen Kjell Samuelsson, Jeff Chychrun and goalie Ken Wregget in a three-way trade that led to a second-straight Cup.
