As we approach the deadline, the biggest name on the board is Penguins star forward Jake Guentzel. His contract is up at the end of the season and will likely be seeking a max deal which the Penguins cannot afford.
According to insider Darren Dreger, it appears the Penguins have a trade partner and will be moving Guentzel in the next 24-36 hours. It has been mentioned that they want quality over quantity in return for the star player such as a 1st round pick, current NHL prospect and some future prospects.
Sources say the Penguins are hoping to have a trade in place for Jake Guentzel by tomorrow evening. Pittsburgh is open to quality over quantity in return, but would like a 1st, young NHL player, plus prospects. Flexibility comes in the caliber of prospect or roster player.
Guentzel has 52 points in 50 games this season and will be a phenomenal addition to any team that lands him.
