Insider believes Jake Guentzel could consider returning to Pittsburgh

The insider Rob Rossi believes that the Carolina Hurricanes' forward Jake Guentzel could consider a return to the Pittsburgh Penguins this summer.

Guentzel was traded at the deadline by Kyle Dubas to the Hurricanes, and he's been playing very well since then. With the Penguins falling short of a playoff spot, fans are wondering if their fate would've been different if he had remained in Pittsburgh.

In 17 games with the Canes, the forward scored 25 points, including eight goals. Since the playoff started, he has two points in two games.

Rob Rossi, on The Athletic, wrote that Guentzel could be interested in hearing Kyle Dubas when he hits the free agency market, this summer.


While Guentzel didn't leave Pittsburgh in the best of terms with Dubas, Rossi states that he loves more the Penguins than he hates Dubas. If his love for the organization is bigger than his feelings for Dubas, he could go back to where he spent his whole career.

He also added that he loves being with the Hurricanes, which could convince him to stay in Carolina.
