Just before trade deadline day the Pittsburgh Penguins made a major move. They decided to move on from Jake Guentzel sending him to the Carolina Hurricanes.




The reaction to the trade has been incredibly mixed but leans toward a negative opinion of the trade overall. Fans and media feel that Kyle Dubas is not doing enough to help the Penguins remain competitive. This seems to be an opinion that captain Sidney Crosby also shares.
