Classy kid. He won't be Jake Guentzel, but people shouldn't expect him to be. Needs to be his own player and play his game. I believe he's going to be a perfect fit for the Penguins and will bring production that definitely will be more than his salary.
Gonna miss him in Carolina, he had just started to click with Necas. Hopefully he finds success and who knows, maybe Dubas will give him back to us for a box of donuts and a conditional 6th round pick
The whining about Guetzel is obnoxious. He was – is a good player in his 8th year, is smallish and injury prone. We will see what the return amounts to. Understand this – the window is shut. It's done. There will not be another Cup with this core of players. It is past time to rebuild.
I urge people to give him a chance. If you hate the trade that's your opinion and that's fine, but don't take it out on him, it's not his fault. Give him a chance.
I think he's gonna be a fantastic player on Crosby's line and he will protect crosby. You put on that power play let him cause havoc in front of that net powerplay going to be awesome.
The fan base will like this guy. He’s one guy I wanted The Penguins to target last summer. Depending on what happens this summer, with more roster turnover coming, he could slide down to the bottom 6 but can play top 6 as he did in Toronto with Matthews and Marner.
No one will replace Jake, but this team can now try to spread the scoring among their lines out evenly, as opposed to be top 6 heavy.

Dubas building Leafs 2.0
Doesn’t matter what colour jersey he’s in…BUNTING is BUNTING….great guy! Good luck BUNTS!
Leafs should have kept him. Pens are DONE.
Useless rat player
Basically the same age as Jake, but with half the production. (I'm aware of salary. We could easily have offered Jake an extension..)
We’re back in contention baby
He's going to defend Sid….that's the important thing
love him
He has a lot to live up to. Hopefully Kyle trades some them old guys in off season
So in 2 – 3 years we will be the Pittsburgh Maple Leafs .
seems like he's a really chill guy.
You could see the disappointment in Sid with Guentzel out and Bunting in😳
Overrated Penguins Lose
We got a bag of pucks at the deadline…hmmmm….I smell a tank coming…but….that would have to happen next year to get Gavin McKenna
I’m not a fan of this trade. Especially when it includes this clown. We will see how the 3 prospects work out I guess. Heard 2 of them are good.

He will be in the minors in 10 days

Played with several big name players 👍 every big name needs a wingman
Sid can make anyone look good, but bunting is a decent player already. He’ll make him much better yet.

He got traded to a dog shit team, poor bastard. Hopefully he’ll stick around until after the dog shit days are over.

to Bunting's credit he has played a lil better the past few games. He's only a -15 on the season now. lol. Have fun with that deal Pittsburgh
