Dude is playing exceptionally well in Pittsburgh. Just under a point per game average (5G and 8A in 16 games), 2 minutes more TOI, much lower PIM and a -2.

Assuming we can find a way to re-sign Guentzel, the trade was a win-win.

Boston beats Florida in overtime. 

[Harbingers]

Philly is cooked.

Which team will be Carolina's opponent in round 1?

My feeling is Guentzel will try to resign back in Pittsburgh. Just a feeling.

The islanders now control M3’s destiny after last night.

Mathematically based on record and remaining records, not betting or dynamic stats.

Islanders - 42% (green aka controls destiny)

Pens - 25%

Capitals - 22%

Flyers - 10%

Devils <1%

None of them have a particularly easy schedule, with the Flyers and Capitals(16th and Islanders and Pens(17th), playing their last games against each other. 

[Harbingers]

It should be noted that even though the Islanders, Pens, Capitals and Redwings all control their destiny for WC2 the Redwings are highest with 44% just because of how much interplay is left in the metro.

You could be right - even though he is producing great, Rod's system is not for everyone  - look how Bunting is producing for Pittsburg.

Guentzel actually addressed the possibility of re-signing in Pittsburgh while we were in Pittsburgh for our last game against them.

Guentzel on re-signing in Pittsburgh:

“I don’t know. That’s … I don’t know,” Guentzel responded. “We’ll just see how this year goes. And I really like it in Carolina.”

I think he’ll stay in Carolina on a 8x$8.5 or someone will come in and offer him a 8x$10M which he won’t be able to turn down.

I’m at the point that I want the Canes to tank against Boston and help them get the WC2 team so that NYR has to play Tampa in round one.

Guenz did follow a ton of custom home builders in the Carolina’s a few days ago on Instagram but I’m guessing it’s just due diligence in case he resigns here.

Hoping that we get a deal done but won’t be shocked when Montreal or some team comes through and offers him a 8x$10M.

Eh, don’t forget the rangers got the islanders twice. Plus the sneaky Canadians tonight. If the Habs can win I’d be less inclined to tank to maximize our points vs. everyone else.

Islanders are 5-1 in their last 6 games though, they are playing well.
