Penguins, 2013

With the NHL trade deadline approaching, teams are trying to bulk up for the stretch drive. The Penguins have made an early splash by acquiring three veterans: forward Brenden Morrow from the Dallas Stars (for defensive prospect Joe Morrow and a 2013 fifth-round pick), defenseman Douglas Murray from the Sharks (for 2013 and '14 second-round picks) and, most notably, winger Jarome Iginla from the Flames (for two prospects and a 2013 first-rounder). Whether these players become key components of a Stanley Cup championship remains to be seen, but the Penguins were considered the heavy favorites. Here are some other notable stretch drive acquisitions that helped teams reach the Cup final or secure the old chalice.
