Insider Elliotte Friedman just made a massive prediction on where pending unrestricted free agent forward Jake Guentzel will sign on July 1st.
Guentzel had an eventful year, performing well under pressure. After being traded from the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Carolina Hurricanes by Kyle Dubas, he scored 25 points in 17 regular season games and nine points in 11 playoff games.
At 29, Guentzel is seeking a new contract this summer and is expected to receive offers from various NHL teams.
On NHL Network, insider Elliotte Friedman made a bold prediction about where Guentzel will sign. He believes the forward will join Connor Bedard with the Chicago Blackhawks:

With Guentzel's experience playing alongside Sidney Crosby, he could be a great fit to play with Connor Bedard on the Blackhawks' first line.
The Blackhawks have $33,790,000 in projected cap space according to CapFriendly. They are in a strong position to make Guentzel an attractive offer, and they should consider doing so.
