Confirmed Trade: [CAR/PIT] Jake Guentzel (25% retained), Ty Smith for Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Vasili Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, 2024 cond. 1st, 2024 cond. 5th

[Peter Griffin]

Awful return.

 

[Woodrow]

Has there actually been any confirmation of the prospects involved in this trade?

 

[Koivu11]

Kyle Dubas sure has an obsession with former Soo players.

 

[hn777]

Underwhelming return, if that's all

 

[Winston Wolf]

 

[Connor McConnor]

Decent return for a pending UFA. Good add for Carolina tho, it’s nice to see them go for it.

 

[SI90]

What’s the condition? Pens must really like Bunting. Figured Guentzel would get a better return.

 

[unicornpig]

if bunting gets flipped for more assets dubas did pretty well

 

[WTG]

Van 2025 1st, Hoglander, Lekkermaki =Michael Bunting, Jackson Blake, 2024 Cond 1st, 2024 cond 5th

 

[AslanRH]

so the 2nd prospect turned into a conditional 5th?

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Thank you 59, Good luck in Carolina, go super terrorizor again.

Multiple Prospects* was reported. Where is the other one.

Edit: Nevermind, posted before seeing the real return

 

[RationalExpectations]

Bad trade for the Pens…

Has there actually been any confirmation of the prospects involved in this trade?

No we're still waiting on them.

This entire thread jumped the gun because we don't know the full return yet.

[Three On Zero]

Seravalli said there are 2 prospects involved in the trade.

He said multiple prospects/picks, he didn’t say 2 prospects

 

[WarriorofTime]

this condition attached to a potential 5th round pick just felt like Carolina wanted to kick Dubas in the cajones for some reason

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Dubas got absolutely f***ing worked.

Some of these Pens fans are about to eat a ton of crow. Acting like they were getting two top prospects and multiple 1sts lmao

 

[5 14 6 1]

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Once again, people realize that not getting elite prospects at the deadline is the norm

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

The condition on the 1st makes it seem a bit underwhelming. If it was Blake, bunting, and an unconditional 1st I would have been satisfied.

 

[Schennanigans]

Doesn’t seem like good value to me. Not even a guaranteed 1st and bunting included? Yikes.
