NHL Insider Reveals The Two Frontrunners To Acquire Jake Guentzel Before Deadline
Insider Lebrun Reveals Top Suitors for Jake Guentzel
Insider Pierre Lebrun has spilled the beans on where Jake Guentzel might end up, pointing to two big teams out west. Lebrun says the Vancouver Canucks and the Vegas Golden Knights are leading the pack in the race to snag Guentzel.
"The sense is the Penguins after that road trip have a very clear sense of what needs to be done before Friday's deadline. And charting a course accordingly. Exploring all options with view to bolster the club for the future. Hearing there's 6-plus legit suitors for Guentzel, VGK and VAN among them."
With Mark Stone sidelined for Vegas, they might have some leverage in talks for Guentzel. And even though the Canucks got Elias Lindholm, they're still eyeing more firepower after some rough games lately.
After the Penguins got embarrassed by the Oilers, losing 6-1, and with three straight losses, changes are definitely on the horizon. Especially now that their playoff hopes are fading, GM Kyle Dubas is gearing up for some moves before the deadline.
