William Nylander may be locked in with the Toronto Maple Leafs for the foreseeable future, but recent comments from Jake Guentzel’s agent indicate the Penguins might not be receiving a similar answer any time soon.
“Could it get ugly?” Guentzel’s agent, Ben Hankinson, said Saturday about the upcoming contract negotiations on SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, per The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta. “Yes, it could.”
Guentzel, who currently holds a 12-team no-trade clause, is on a $6 million deal this year and is due a raise, likely of at least $2 million.
Harkinson was noncommittal in committing to whether or not he will be receiving that raise in Pittsburgh during his radio appearance.
