Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell has been identified as a potential trade target for the Ottawa Senators, according to a report from Heavy.com. The 31-year-old Swedish 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, a veteran of over 700 NHL games, has spent recent seasons with the Penguins after being acquired from the Anaheim Ducks. His scoring ability and playoff experience could make him an attractive addition for a Senators team looking to bolster its forward depth. The report by Nestor Quixtan suggests Ottawa may view Rakell as an enticing option to strengthen their roster.
No specific trade details or timeline were disclosed in the initial report. Both organizations have yet to comment publicly on the speculation.
