Let’s flashback to July 1, 2015.
The Penguins had been eliminated in five games by the New York Rangers less than 3 months prior and were looking to re-tool their roster.
Jim Rutherford swung for the fences and managed to swing the trade with the Maple Leafs that sent Phil Kessel to Pittsburgh.
One of the key pieces going the other way to Toronto was Kasperi Kapanen.
Yesterday, in an attempt to re-tool the roster again, Rutherford re-aquired Kapanen in a trade with the Maple Leafs.
