Really don’t want to give up one of our only defensive prospects. Rather give a forward. I’d have been fine giving Ponomarev because FUS is going to chase him down as soon as next year and maybe Koivunen too.

Nothing. Those two are the only names I like that are left.

Really wanted Duclair, hate to see him on Tampa.

Feel like it’s Bunting, Morrow, and a 2nd. Hope I’m wrong.

Did see that one member of the press at the Penguins game is hearing Morrow’s name thrown around the press box. That would suck.

Pittsburgh Athletic writer stating the return for Guentzel “isn’t exactly exciting”… Did Waddell pull off a heist?!?!

Yeah Stef!!!

No idea but Buch would fill that grinder role that Bunting had and Buch is more skilled as well.

Guentzel and Buchnevich lol

I hope Lemiuex clears, he’s great depth.

So what are we thinking… Svechnikov - Aho - Teravainen Guentzel - Drury - Necas Martinook - Staal - Jarvis Noesen - Kotkaniemi - Fast Lemiuex (if he clears) Slavin - Burns Skjei - Pesce Orlov - Chatfield DeAngelo (if he clears) Andersen Kochetkov Martin Raanta (if he clears) Would still love to add another forward like Duclair.

That’s true, Dubas was in Toronto with Bunts. Also without an extension we shouldn’t be giving up high end prospects especially since we’re giving Pittsburgh a 50 point winger.

I’d rather give up quantity and a 1st rounder. Bunting, Suzuki, Rees, and a 1st rounder.

Yeah it’s confirmed at this point, details to come after the game. Hopefully it’s not more than Bunting, a prospect not named, Nikishin, Morrow, Nadeau, Blake, Ponomarev, FUS, Koivunen, and a draft pick.

Bunting is definitely involved, other pieces may not be announced until after both teams finish their games tonight per reports. Guess the GM’s are going to take a break, watch the games, then finalize everything.

Only roster player a part of it is Bunting, other pieces to be determined.

The Athletic is now reporting the trade.

The Fourth Period is now reporting that we’ve acquired Jake Guentzel, waiting on the return.

Looks like we are getting Guentzel, Bunting a part of the trade. It’s a shame but Bunting didn’t really work out here.

Actually kind of shocked we got anything for Webber. Earlier he said he wasn’t going to sign with us so we lost all leverage in negotiations.

Honestly give me both Vatrano and Duclair for picks and I’ll be happy. Svechnikov - Aho - Vatrano Duclair - Drury - Necas Martinook - Staal - Jarvis Bunting - Teravainen - Fast/Noesen Kotkaniemi

If we give up Morrow and a pick for Guentzel and we A) don’t win the Cup or B) he doesn’t re-sign, I’m going to be pissed.

The simulator I use updated after Wake’s loss to GT last night. For the #1 seed, Carolina needs to win or they can lose as long as Wake beats Clemson and Pittsburgh beats NCSU. Any other scenario outside of those favors Duke.

Don’t think Zegras is going to get moved, haven’t heard anything on him. I think Vatrano is everyone’s fall back plan. Teams that don’t get Guentzel or Buch will probably go after Vatrano.

Personally… I’d move Ponomarev for an extended Guentzel. Nadeau, Blake, Koivunen, and FUS are right on Ponomarev’s tail and we don’t have room for all of them. I definitely wouldn’t move Nikishin in any package and I wouldn’t move Morrow unless he’s indicated that he won’t sign with us. Literally every single defensemen we have will have their contract expire in the next two years. Having Nikishin (in two years) and Morrow (next year) on their ELC’s would be very beneficial.
