NHL Rumors: Jake Guentzel Trade to Hurricanes from Penguins Being Finalized

Jake Guentzel's time with the Pittsburgh Penguins appears to be over.

The team is reportedly finalizing a trade that would send him to the Carolina Panthers for Michael Bunting and other assets, per multiple reports.

ESPN's Emily Kaplan reported on Feb. 23 that Pittsburgh's asking price for Guentzel was "multiple first-round picks (or a first-round pick and equivalent in top prospects or roster players)."

Guentzel had been included in numerous trade rumors leading up to the NHL's March 8 trade deadline with the Penguins struggling to contend for a playoff spot.
