Insider gives huge update on Guentzel negotiations
One of the biggest names on the free agent market this summer is superstar forward Jake Guentzel.
Guentzel was moved at the deadline to the Hurricanes as a rental and most thought he would re-sign there in the offseason.
According to insider Elliotte Friedman, he believes that the superstar forward will test the market and could see Chicago as a potential landing spot.
Friedman on TJMS: "My surprise July 1st pick is Jake Guentzel -> Chicago ... that was my off the board pick."
"I look at it this way, Jake Guentzel is a Midwest guy, Chicago is a Midwest location, also they do need to get players to play with Bedard. ... It doesn't seem insane to me."
If Guentzel is truly willing to test the market, any team with a decent amount of cap space, such as the Red Wings, has a chance at landing the superstar.
