NHL Rumors: Jake Guentzel Trade 'Getting Close'; Rangers, More Linked to Penguins LW

Jake Guentzel could be staying in the Metropolitan Division even if the Pittsburgh Penguins trade him.

The New York Rangers "are very in on Guentzel talks," according to USA Today's Vince Z. Mercogliano.

The Carolina Hurricanes and Vegas Golden Knights are also reportedly interested in the Penguins winger, Mercogliano noted.

The Vancouver Canucks and Florida Panthers are also in the mix for Guentzel, according to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.

Pagnotta added that the Guentzel trade is "getting close," according to a source.

Before missing the Penguins' last 10 games with an upper body injury, Guentzel was playing at a point-per-game pace with 22 goals and 30 assists in 50 contests.
