Jake Guentzel rumors: Ex-Penguin’s expiring contract available for draft pick
Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY SportsTeams interesting in acquiring the final month of Jake Guentzel’s expiring contract could receive it from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a mid-round draft pick, according to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
Friedman addressed the ex-Penguin’s contract situation on Friday’s episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast:
“It sounds like he’s available for a mid-round pick. I believe Carolina’s let everybody know that, if you want to trade for his rights, for the chance to sign him, that it’s possible for a mid-round pick.
“I’m sure there’s a ton of interest. I mean, you’ve just got to know, do you think you’re going to get him?”
