Jake Guentzel News
Newly acquired forward Jake Guentzel is likely to make his Carolina Hurricanes debut Tuesday versus the New York Rangers. The 29-year-old was acquired in a trade-deadline deal from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for winger Michael Bunting, prospects Vasily Ponomarev and Ville Koivunen, the rights to forward Cruz Lucius, a conditional first-round pick in the 2024 draft, and a conditional fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft ahead of Friday's NHL trade deadline. "I think there's a real good possibility," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said after Tuesday's morning skate. "He'll take warmup and see where we go, but all indications are I think he will [play]." The left winger has tallied 22 goals and 52 points across 50 games this season.
The Carolina Hurricanes have won the Jake Guentzel sweepstakes, acquiring the star winger from the Pittsburgh Penguins ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The Hurricanes traded forwards Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Cruz Lucius, and Vasily Ponomarev, a conditional first-round pick in 2024, and their conditional fifth-round pick in 2024 for Guentzel and defenseman Ty Smith. Pittsburgh retained 25 percent of Guentzel's $6 million cap hit. The 29-year-old winger moves on from Pittsburgh after skating in 503 regular-season games and posting 466 points (219 goals, 247 assists). He won the Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2017. Guentzel hasn't played since Feb. 14 due to an upper-body injury, but he's just been cleared for contact and should be in the Hurricanes lineup soon for his team debut. He will be a big addition to the team's top six and the power play.
Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel (upper body) is being pursued by the Vancouver Canucks, according to Chris Johnston of The Athletic. With the Canucks being close to the cap, there are also talks about Vancouver flipping recently acquired Elias Lindholm to the Boston Bruins to make room for Guentzel. This could work out for all three teams. Pittsburgh should get some good assets for Guentzel, Vancouver would upgrade their offensive firepower, and Boston would get their centerman. Both Lindholm and Guentzel would likely see a boost in fantasy production if a swap like this happens.
Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel (upper body) is expected to be out for four weeks. The prolific forward was injured in Wednesday's game against Florida and missed his first contest of the season when the Penguins were back on the ice Thursday versus Chicago. Guentzel leads the Penguins with 30 assists and has amassed 52 points overall in 50 appearances. Rickard Rakell was promoted to the first line in his absence on Thursday. The Swedish winger collected two assists in the game and looks well-situated to improve his productivity over the coming weeks, having linked up with Sidney Crosby.
