The best “one year wonders” for the Penguins

Inspiration struck in the form of Seth’s tweet after Cody Ceci signed a rich deal with Edmonton, leaving the Penguins after one season.

With that in mind, and omitting players like Marian Hossa and Jarome Iginla, who would the best “one hit wonders” in Penguins’ history be?

No sense in burying the lede, Robitaille is certainly on any list for the best one-year wonder in Penguin history. Acquired in July 1994 for Rick Tocchet and a second round pick, Robitaille only played in 46 games in Pittsburgh during the strike shortened 1994-95 season, which was also a season where Mario Lemieux took off to add more importance for a scorer.
