Last night's humiliating defeat in Pittsburgh has spurred discussions about the need for organizational changes, starting with pending unrestricted free agent and star forward Jake Guentzel. Insider Pierre Lebrun has unveiled the frontrunners in the race to acquire him.
Lebrun has disclosed potential landing spots for Guentzel, with two Pacific Division powerhouses emerging as top contenders. According to Lebrun, the Vancouver Canucks and Vegas Golden Knights are among the leading candidates to secure Guentzel's services.
Vegas, currently with Mark Stone on injured reserve, could use this situation to their advantage in negotiations for Guentzel. The Canucks, despite acquiring Elias Lindholm from the Calgary Flames, have shown renewed interest in bolstering their roster due to recent poor performances.
Following the Penguins embarrassing 6-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers, marking their third consecutive defeat, it's evident that changes are looming, especially with the team now out of playoff contention. General Manager Kyle Dubas is expected to be active ahead of the trade deadline.
