Today in Penguins History (9/13/1974)

On this day in 1974, at the start of training camp, the Pittsburgh Penguins made what would become a huge deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs.  The Penguins acquired disgruntled Rick Kehoe in exchange for Blaine Stoughton and a 1st round draft pick in the 1977 NHL Amateur Draft, which became Trevor Johansen at the 12th pick.  Stoughton had been the Penguins 1st round pick in 1973 (as well as the 2nd round pick of the Nordiques in the WHA draft) and only played 34 games that season for the Pens.
