[Speculation] Hurricanes Rumors: Jake Guentzel Likely to Hit Market, Rights available for mid round pick

Interesting that we traded Horvat and now may sign a forward for more money. 


Different needs and pedigree though.

 

Horvat at 8.5 mil to be a third line center just didn’t make sense. That’s why the rumoured 7x7 deal was probably as high as they were willing to go (and even that was probably too much)

 

The key to unlocking this teams full potential lies in Pettersson truly reaching that elite game changing level. We’ve seen glimpses of it but he needs to show it consistently. An elite winger is the way to do that.

Guentzel is miles ahead of Horvat in almost every aspect of hockey, except faceoffs.

While I agree. I just find it interesting because the way the teams trajectory has changed over the past year. We’ve seen more than glimpses of Petey. 100 points is not a glimpse. No worries from me there with or without Guentzel. Would be a pretty sweet add though

$9.5M would destroy our cap situation... we can't afford that without seriously sacrificing elsewhere.

9.5 range is nothing new. That’s his market value. Given Petey doesn’t have a legit top 6 winger, this is the highest need.

allvin wouldn't do it if it kneecaps the team going forward. he's got his eye on the prize.
