The Pittsburgh Penguins took steps to win now, adding veteran leadership and muscle to their young forward lineup.
Joining blossoming stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, are 40-year-old Gary Roberts and noted fighter Georges Laraque.
To land Roberts, who waived a no-trade clause, Pittsburgh sent defenseman Noah Welch to Florida. Forward prospect Daniel Carcillo and a 2008 third-round pick were shipped to Phoenix for Laraque. The Penguins then dealt Dominic Moore to Minnesota for a third-round pick and acquired defenseman Joel Kwiatkowski from Florida for a fourth-round choice.
