Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell has been identified as a potential trade candidate for the Ottawa Senators, according to recent NHL trade speculation. The veteran winger, who wears number 67 for Pittsburgh, was photographed in action against the New York Islanders at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on March 30, 2026.
Rakell's experience and offensive capabilities could make him an attractive addition for a Senators team looking to bolster its forward depth. The 31-year-old Swedish player has spent multiple seasons with the Penguins organization after previously playing for the Anaheim Ducks.
Trade discussions typically intensify as the NHL season progresses toward the trade deadline, with contending teams seeking veteran presence and rebuilding clubs looking to acquire assets. Neither the Penguins nor Senators have officially commented on any potential deal involving Rakell.
