Jake Guentzel has been traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning

This was a deal that has been in the works for days. The Lightning traded both Mikhail Sergachev and Tanner Jeannot to clear salary cap space.

Now the Tampa Bay Lightning have used that salary cap space to trade for Jake Guentzel from the Carolina Hurricanes. In return the Hurricanes will get a 3rd round pick in the NHL Draft.

The Tampa Bay Lightning will now get to work on an extension to keep Jake Guentzel in Tampa Bay. With free agency just over 24 hours away look for an extension to be signed soon.
