Plenty of hockey news came out of Pittsburgh Thursday night, and it was more than just the Penguins victory over Detroit in their beautiful third sweaters. Earlier in the day, the Penguins announced they signed forward Jake Guentzel to a five year contract extension totaling $30 million. That is a $6 million cap hit, and the same amount of money the Wild gave out to Matt Dumba this past summer. Guentzel will be the fifth-highest paid member of the team when his new deal goes into effect next season, trailing only guys named Malkin, Crosby, Kessel, and Letang.
