Pittsburgh Penguins Star Forward On The Verge Of Being Traded
Recently, there have been trade rumors surrounding Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel as the NHL trade deadline approaches in less than two months.
General Manager Kyle Dubas addressed the speculation on a radio show, stating,
"We haven't had any discussions with teams about Jake � anything out there is pure speculation."
Dubas emphasized the evaluation process, saying, "We'll continue to go through the season here, and I'll continue to evaluate where we're at. Either after the All-Star break or after the season, we'll do what's best for everybody � best for the Penguins, best for Jake, and we'll determine that together. That's really it."
Guentzel, at 29, is on the verge of his seventh consecutive 20+ goal season, with impressive stats of 46 points (19 goals, 27 assists) in 42 games this season.
As trade possibilities loom, the Vancouver Canucks are speculated to be interested if Guentzel becomes available, potentially adding depth to their roster.
