Trade: Pittsburgh Penguins trade request would have costed the Red Wings Axell Sandin Pellikka and two picks

New information has been revealed involving one player who was placed on the trade block by the Pittsburgh Penguins, and what they were asking Steve Yzerman for in return.

Buckle up for this one, because it appears the Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas ultimately set himself up for failure with this one.

In exchange for forward Rickard Rakell, who has 58 points in 67 games this season, they were requesting for the team's top prospect and two first-round draft picks.

Yes, you read that right.

With Yzerman's forward group banged up due to the season-ending injury of Andrew Copp, he was on the hunt for a forward, but the asking price is ridiculous.

If the Detroit Red Wings wanted to acquire Rickard Rakell, this is what it would've costed them:

Fans may be criticizing Yzerman's NHL trade deadline, but with these asking prices on the market, fans would surely be more upset if this move was made.

Rakell, 31, was drafted in 2011 by the Anaheim Ducks 30th overall in the first round, and is sitting with 30 goals and 58 points on the Penguins' season.
