The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired forward Jake Guentzel and defenseman Ty Smith from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for forwards Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Cruz Lucius, and Vasily Ponomarev, as well as two conditional draft picks in the 2024 NHL Draft. As a condition of the trade, the Penguins will retain 25% of Guentzel’s salary.
The Hurricanes will send a first-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft to the Penguins if Carolina advances to the Stanley Cup Final. If the Hurricanes do not reach the Stanley Cup Final, they will send the Penguins a second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft. If Carolina wins the Stanley Cup, they will send Pittsburgh an additional fifth-round pick in the 2024 NHL Draft

Lol
WAY TO GO DUBAS! That's the haul of the century for a guy who's undersized, gonna be on the wrong side of 30, and has never shown to produce without Crosby. Thank you, Jake, and thank that infant GM in Carolina 👏👏
No more jake shakes in pittsburgh. this sucks
Sad to see him go traded away the future for the past
Bro when I saw this, my heart stopped. Penguins is my favorite team and seeing this, idk where the nhl is going anymore, it’s like everyone is getting traded now 😢
If Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup Pittsburgh will get the 1st round pick. They will get Flyers 2nd
This is actually such a horrible trade for the penguins these next few years are going to be rough
Don’t blame him I wouldn’t want to to be here for this rebuild either lol
one of my favorite players on the penguins, i will miss him!
Gonna miss you Jake 💛 Good luck in Carolina!!
this one stings a bit, been some great years 😢
Got to give something to get something. Never get attached to players in the pros. It’s a business in the end.
You will always have a place in my heat jake 💔
Bunting is not gonna last on a Mike Sullivan team, just watch. Bunting is a pest type player and that's not allowed on a Sullivan team.
Thank you Jake😢 You got a great player Carolina, treat him good.
It’s really not that bad of a return for a rental. But only time will tell
dubas just fleeced the canes lol
all that for a 29 year old rental lol
Jakes getting another cup with Carolina.
This gives me Ryan Smyth vibes, trading a great winger at the deadline in fear of loosing him for nothing and ultimately starting the rebuild…
Thank u Jake, goodluck in Carolina
Bunting, ahh yes the 28 year old who almost won a Calder.
Nice haul, more to come tomorrow! Pens will probably move their back up goalie a Dman and possibly Rust.
I hope they deal Bunting, he's too old and 4.5 million for 3 years. Let's hope the prospects are good because they got hosed on the draft picks.
