Description

“The sense is the Penguins after that road trip have a very clear sense of what needs to be done before Friday's deadline. And charting a course accordingly. Exploring all options with view to bolster the club for the future. Hearing there's 6-plus legit suitors for Guentzel, VGK and VAN among them.”
Lebrun

On the "32 Thoughts" podcast, Friedman said:
“Pittsburgh is telling teams they don’t want picks for Guentzel, they want prospects, that’s what they prefer, when you look at the teams that have some of the best prospects, Carolina is right up there.”

Yohe’s reporting backs this up as well as an incoming firesale that I’m sure will go into the summer.

My order of preference based on what they can pay:

1 Vancouver
2 Carolina (highly doubtful)
3 Vegas (most likely)
4 Kings
5 Rags
6 Avs
7 Oilers

Trades

PIT

Additional Details:

I still think Vegas is destination numero uno. They pay

VGK

Jake with retention

PIT

Additional Details:

Jake at 50%. Taking Mikheyev back gives them a better chance at resigning him.

VAN

PIT

Additional Details:

They have awful assets and I hope they aren’t in play.

PIT

Blake, Jackson [Reserve List]
Koivunen, Ville
Ponomarev, Vasili
2024 2nd round pick (CAR)

CAR

Jake 50%. They have some decent prospects but they also are not aggressive at the deadline and I doubt they are going to make a serious bid.

PIT

Kakko, Kaapo
Othmann, Brennan
2024 1st round pick (NYR)
2026 3rd round pick (NYR)

Additional Details:

I am no big fan of Kakko and I would hate to see Jake in that Rag sweater but I’m sure they’ll make a bid.

NYR

PIT

Connors, Kenny [Reserve List]
Kaliyev, Arthur
Turcotte, Alex
2024 1st round pick (LAK)

Additional Details:

They once had a very impressive prospect pool but the forwards really have shown little so far. I doubt they are a major player.

LAK

PIT

O'Connor, Logan
Olausson, Oskar
Ritchie, Calum [Reserve List]
2026 2nd round pick (COL)

Additional Details:

If Ritchie panned out this would be a decent return but he’s still no where near the NHL and I doubt his happens.

Lekkerimaki is still not available and that isnt changing. Canucks arent trading him Hoglander or Willander for a half season rental

Canes tend to be aggressive at the deadline, but they don't overpay. They don't get involved in bidding wars. If the value is right, they'll pull the trigger. This is way too much, especially for a rental.

NYR decline. Not trading both Kakko + Othmann for a rental. NYR cannot afford Jake next year
