It was believed the Penguins wanted to wrap up the Jake Guentzel trade situation today on Wednesday, a couple days ahead of the NHL trade deadline on Friday afternoon. The league has known Guentzel is available for a while and that the Pens were looking to collect all bids and weigh them against each other.
Wednesday is almost over and there has been no trade announced yet. The waiting continues. Here is the latest big time rumors:
Guentzel update: Not definitive, but sounds like teams in mix are CAR, FLA, NYR, VAN and VGK.
Unless something changes, belief is FLA + VAN have made strong push but don’t have goods to pull it off.
