The Lightning send a 2025 third-round draft pick to Carolina, allowing Tampa Bay to sign Guentzel before he hits the open market on Monday
Carolina Hurricanes' Jake Guentzel watches the puck during the second period of an NHL hockey game against the Boston Bruins in Raleigh, N.C., on April 4.The Tampa Bay Lightning got a head start on free agency by acquiring the rights to high-scoring winger Jake Guentzel on Sunday.
He is coming off scoring 30 goals this past season for the Hurricanes and Pittsburgh Penguins, his fourth time reaching that mark in an eight-year career that has included him getting to 40 twice. Guentzel, who turns 30 in October, won the Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2017 and is nearly a point-a-game playoff performer in the NHL.
“We have this cap space we can allocate it in different ways by either getting volume or quality,” BriseBois said Saturday. “Now is that one player getting most of that cap space? Is it two players splitting it up? Three players splitting it up? It’s too early to tell at this point.”
