Rumor: Canes Acquire Jake Guentzel

How so? Pomi is the only one worth a dang other than Bunting and with 25% retained I'm guessing anther move is coming 

A 4.5 million dollar player with three years on contract, 2 second round prospects, a 4th round prospect, a 1st round conditional and a 5th round conditional next draft.

Does not equal in overall value Guentzel for 2 months and Ty Smith.

Decent trade.

Wish Koivunen wasn’t included, I think he’ll be a 3C in the NHL.

At least the picks are contingent on us making/winning the cup.

In my mind I’m looking at it like:

Carolina Receives: Jake Guentzel (1/2LW - hopefully re-signs), Ty Smith (defensive depth for the playoffs)

Pittsburgh Receives: Michael Bunting (3LW), Ville Koivunen (3C), Vasily Ponomarev (4C), Cruz Lucius (AHL/Fringe 4th Liner), first or second round pick, possibly a 5th round pick.

Scared money don’t make money. I love it. Let’s pull for our guy now. He is a cane!

I think Ty is more of an AHL project player. There’s a reason he’s only played 9 games for the Pens after 2 seasons at the NHL level in Jersey. Plus that -32 is ugly. 
 

I think Ville has a higher ceiling.

Hopefully TDA clears because right now we have no defensive depth. Coghlan and Smith are next men up.

Curious as to when Guentzel will actually come off IR ready to play.

Quite a bold gamble on a rental but it’s the kind of move you make for an elite scorer to win the cup so I’m all in.  And maybe Canes can sign him to a decent term contract.

He’s been skating in a regular jersey but I don’t think it’s been at full contact practice. There is video from yesterday/today on Twitter but it was just shooting drills.

Definitely looks like just solo drills probably to help with the trade interest. I don’t think we see him for a week or two at least. Which gives him less time to learn the defense and PP.

    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
    • poo I doubt any Bucs fan would trade Baker for BY either lol.
