Rumor: Canes Acquire Jake Guentzel

Nikishin IMO will be a superstar by year two under no circumstances would I trade him! Keep in mind Morrow isn't even a signed prospect....

 

Also I wouldn't call Vegas getting Jack Eichel not getting a superstar l.

Eichel wasn’t a rental, he was in the early part of an 8 year contract and was acquired at the beginning of the season.

Trading Morrow for a rental only makes sense if he told Carolina he won’t sign with them. Which I don’t know why he would because he’d have a great shot at being on the bottom pair next year.

No guarantee he's gonna be a rental though that no permission given just means Pitt hadn't allowed contract discussions yet at that time..... 

 

I like Morrow it wouldn't shock me if he did say that being anther Harvard guy... either way if we win a cup it's a win no matter what they traded.... I'm all aboard

Right but I don’t think you can make deals off of if’s. I’d want an extension before giving up a 50 point winger, an offensive-defensive prospect with top four potential, and an early round draft pick.

We either need to win the Cup or Guentzel needs to re-sign in order for a trade that consists of Bunting, Morrow, and a pick to be considered successful.

Losing in the second round and then losing Guentzel would be a disaster.

Details starting to come in:

Carolina Receives: Jake Guentzel (un-signed)

Pittsburgh Received: Michael Bunting, Scott Morrow, a 2nd round pick, and an unnamed prospect

Absolute steal from Wads.  We got to keep our big gun prospects that haven’t done anything yet for us. Great job!!

That is way too much. We are getting fleeced if that’s true.

Some speculation that Jackson Blake is also in the deal which I’d hate. He was one of the best college hockey players this year.

Who cares at this point. We got an elite player that can score goals and help us win a cup. It’s about Gotdamn time we did it. Let’s go win us a cup with a proven player vs stashing unproven hope for the future.

Hahahahahahahah. No way dude!   We owned this trade. We haven’t had a 100 point guy since 2006 Eric Staal. We just got one.  Time to ride! 

Guentzel is not a 100 point player. I don’t even think he’s an 80 point player on the Canes. Probably 60’s-70’s. And we never see that if he doesn’t re-sign.

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
