Heading into the 2024 NHL Trade Deadline, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Jake Guentzel emerges as the top trade target. His pending unrestricted free agency status on a struggling Penguins team makes him an enticing option for contenders.
While a trade isn't guaranteed, indications suggest the Penguins are open to the idea, with ESPN's Emily Kaplan reporting their asking price: multiple first-round picks or a first-rounder plus a top prospect.
As a consistent point-per-game player, Guentzel's value is evident. Numerous teams, including the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, and Carolina Hurricanes, are interested in acquiring his services.
