Ahead of the 2026 NHL trade deadline, the Pittsburgh Penguins traded a 2026 third-round pick to acquire forward Elmer Soderblom from the Detroit Red Wings. Soderblom, who struggled with just two goals in 39 games with Detroit, has thrived in Pittsburgh, recording four goals and four assists in 16 games, including three goals in his last six. The 6-foot-8 forward has added physicality and secondary scoring, making the trade appear beneficial for the Penguins. At just 24 years old, Soderblom’s strong start has the potential to enhance Pittsburgh’s roster moving forward.
