I don’t see Penguin moving him but this would be nasty

I'm honestly sick and tired of seeing Guentzel trades. The Pens are only a couple points out of a wild card spot with at least one game in hand over everyone above them in the East. They're still in the playoff race and Dubas hasn't talked to anyone about a Jake trade. As of right now, he's not available.

Swap out Timmins with Liljegren, add a 2nd going to Pittsburgh, and Ruhwedel going to Toronto. But Guentzel isn’t available in real life.

While a agree with you that the Pens aren't likely sellers (at this time), isn't it a bit of stretch that you that Dubas hasn't talked to other GMs about a Jake trade? GMs talk all the time about players and their trade values in case they want to pull the trigger later.
