The Pittsburgh Penguins may have star sniper
Jake Guentzel available for trade. The 29-year old has been Crosby's goal scorer for the past number of years and has proven himself to be a legit shooter in the league scoring 40 goals in a season twice.

Dhaliwal says the cost of Jake Guentzel is a 1st rounder, a top prospect, and a player.

During the off-season Kyle Dubas went all in on
Erik Karlsson to help bring the Penguins back to the playoffs but it seems the addition of EK65 has not been enough as the Penguins sit 7th in the Metropolitan Division.
