Dan Kingerski of Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Pittsburgh Penguins 24-year old forward Jake Guentzel is entering the final year of his entry-level deal. He’ll be an RFA and will be looking for a nice raise.
He’s recorded 42 points in 46 playoff games, and his regular season this year could determine if he gets top-six money or if he gets a team friendly contract.
Potential comparables for Guentzel.
Jeff Skinner – an older deal but Skinner at 22-years old signed a six-year, $34.35 million deal – a $5.725 million cap hit.
