Summary
Rickard Rakells 2022-2023 season with the Penguins was a mixed bag, earning him a B+ grade. Despite a dip in goals and points compared to his career-best season, Rakells versatility and improved performance at second-line center proved invaluable, helping the Penguins secure a playoff spot. However, his hot streak also made the team vulnerable in the postseason. With two years left on his contract, Rakells center success could attract contenders, leaving the Penguins to decide whether to keep their versatile scorer or trade him at his peak value.
