Top Trade Target Out Long-Term Following Recent Statement
The Pittsburgh Penguins have made a significant roster move, placing forward and pending unrestricted free agent Jake Guentzel on injured reserve.
He's set to be sidelined for four weeks, extending beyond the NHL's March 8th trade deadline.
In response to Guentzel's absence, the Penguins have called up forwards Jonathan Gruden, Vinnie Hinostroza, and Valtteri Puustinen from the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL. General Manager Kyle Dubas made the announcement today.
Given Guentzel's status as a sought-after asset on the trade market, speculation abounds about the impact of his injury on potential trade talks. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation.
