 | | With the first draft pick in the 1984 NHL Entry Draft Pittsburgh acquired Mario Lemieux, who would become one of the greatest players in NHL history. |
 | | After four more years out of the playoffs, Lemieux led the league in scoring in 1988-89 and the Penguins had given him a supporting cast for the first time, with superstar defenseman Paul Coffey coming from the Edmonton Oilers, role player Bob Errey, high-scoring Kevin Stevens, Rob Brown, and John Cullen. |
 | | Adding that to Stevens, Mullen, and Coffey, up-and-coming Mark Recchi, star center Ron Francis (acquired in a major trade with the Hartford Whalers), and the goaltending of Tom Barrasso, the Penguins became the league's best team, beating the Minnesota North Stars in the Stanley Cup finals. |
