The Penguins have shown a clear indication that they will continue to try and win with the core of Kris Letang, Sidney Crosby, and Evgeni Malkin. Whether it was the acquisition of Reilly Smith from the Vegas Golden Knights or the blockbuster trade that went down for the Norris Winner Erik Karlsson, Kyle Dubas had a busy summer to keep the Penguins Competitive. Now the Penguins face their toughest challenge yet: Jake Guentzel.

Jake Guentzel contract update



Worrying news dropped last week about Jake Guentzel and his future in Pittsburgh. It was reported that Jake Guentzel and his camp have had no discussions about re-signing with the Penguins Management as reported by David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period. Many believe negotiations will only begin after the season, if he's not dealt by March.




How will the Penguins navigate this situation



It's clear that in an ideal world, the Penguins would love to re-sign Jake Guentzel, but they must see where the team is positioned before the trade deadline. If they see themselves out of the playoffs, Jake Guentzel may see himself out of Pittsburgh.

"Kyle has to make decisions, too, which way the team is going and the investment he is going to make with jake", Harkinson said. "Is it the same direction? It's going to come down to how they play and we'll put our heads together» says Jake Guentzel's agent.

It's our hope that Guentzel will remain a Penguin, but only time will tell.

More to come.
