Penguins/NHL
Prior to the start of the 2018-2019 season, Jake Guentzel based on other player comps was trending to being a $5.5-$6+ million a year player when his current contract expired.
With 15 goals and 33 points in 36 games this season, things reached the point where the longer the Penguins waited, the more expensive Guentzel was going to become.
So Pittsburgh decided to act now than drag things into the summer where Guentzel would have had arbitration rights.

The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Michael Hutchinson from the Florida Panthers on Saturday in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2020, the team announced.
Murray going tonight. Let’s keep it rollin.
Tonight Florida’s game there was 19,512 attendance. How is that possible? Sam? Aka npl10? You may use your thumbs down crew on this one
Pens should have resigned Scott Wilson.
Watching panthers game. Only time in season it’s almost full the arena
Fraud Price is taking a vaction from his Christmas vacation.
At least his home taking vacation unlike the Russian takes spot from the roster
Don’t worry February – March is close. Russian will be on his annual vacation
And Price will be on his come playoff time.
“Don’t make fun of my fleury” – Sam(e)
Why don’t you discuss the game tomorrow vs the struggling blues and how the upcoming beneficial schedule needs to be taken advantage of and how it should be approached, rather than discuss the former goaltender . I have no faith in Murray but I’d still give him the game to hopefully get him going, I like DeSmith but this teams not going aanywhere without Murray as the #1 playing at a Fleury Vegas level. Had to
Specially that fleury has more wins than the entire penguins this season
And he will be burnt out by the playoffs since your back up goalie is garbage.
And thats fleury fault
So how long have you known Sam?
More like how long will take you and your crew to chase another guy out of this site
Kingpuck,xxx,lancer,mcshady,schaff, now you can have him in your list too
How did Kessel do last night?
I think slightly better than the Russian. Since he can’t score 5v5 anymore. 1 goal since October 30
How did Carter Rowney do last night? That is the really important question.
Anybody who bashes Fleury is an idiot, he went to two finals at 23-24 in a row (08-09), so Murray getting gift wrapped two finals and falling off a cliff at the same age doesn’t mean he won’t paraglide to safety. Fleury losing to the Caps in Vegas has nothing to do with him out dueling Quick or winning 3 rounds, or single handedly beating the caps in round 2 in 17 for the Pens, for that matter the jackets as well, or basically carrying the Pens through part one of the 2016 season, so he had a few bad… Read more »
Pens would have more Cups if Fleury didnt shlt the bed in the middle of Sid and Geno’s prime. Dude was a headcase in the playoffs. Its that simple.

3/11 ain’t bad and you really think we woulda won Every Year? And beat La or Chicago in a best of 5 cups? Jack ass, leave sam alone
Again why is fleury relevant in this chat?…it has nothing to do with him and hes not a penguin…stop bringing him up it serves no purpose
Revisionists wanting to change history by claiming Fleury was actually a reliable goalie.
Leave Fleury’s Sam alone Mr. Frodo.
Leave Sam alone? Hahaha wow, this is what this is about?
And youre right 3 in 11 years isnt bad. 2 in 3 from a goalie who isnt a headcase is even better. Murray salvaged the Crosby/Geno years.
Murray is a head case now, all goalies are mental, you’re all just pathetic and don’t wanna realize the facts that the team has done much better than 27 Other teams the last decade, morons
Look at moron orpig
He got caught staring at the worst positioning in the history of goaltending
Well said
Agreed 200%
Pens loss vs Tampa was that fleury too?
Pens losing to rags was that fleury too when team couldn’t even score.
Pens loss in playoffs because they were often predictable. As I said teams loved playing pens in playoffs because they are a free pass to next round. You shut downed crosby malkin and team was done their shots were all often from outside.no secondary chances created thanks to DB system and as I said if fleury played with the devils Jacques lemaire era he wouldve had better numbers all that to show you clowns you never appreciated a good goalie And drool over a fraud goalie like Murray when 2 cups were handed on a silver platter by MAF. Thanks… Read more »
MAF was a stud for sure we miss him he’s one of the best..he had basically one bad playoff run that it..(2012/13) MAF was the man in the pipes///.
Don’t say that you might hurt bandwagon Murray droolers feelings and be on their thumbs down list
Where is your clever -29 ?
In 2009 he was a .908 and let in 63 goals when they won the Cup. Osgood let in 47 and was a .926. He was not the main reason they won the cup, that was Malkin. After that he was an .891, .899, .834, .883… yeah, he was a real stud during the playoffs. Take off the blinders people.
Truth hurts.
How did fleury do tonight ?
Why would anyone care about what Vegas is doing?….this is a penguins board fleury isnt important in pgh sports anymore
He’s a Vegas/Montreal fan that decided to troll a random Penguins board when Crosby got drafted. It’s just unfortunate it happened to be this one.
how did st.bleury do last night???? how did he do in the finals vs the caps last year? .840%? who told ya that?
Sam(e) is going to give two people a -29 and Yoda will get a BJ from Sam(e) while wearing a MAF jersey.
How did he do for the Pens in the second round in 17 moron
Happy to get Guentzel locked up. Have him signed for the primeyears of his career. His n numbers are a bit inflated playing with Sid, but he’s a smart player with a really good skillset. Looking forward to 30+ goals for the next few years.
ZAR isnt an NHL regular. Painful to watch.
I rather pay ZAR rather than that lazy Russian that knows how to con the team and the fans. He is very good in pretending
Were the 95 points he put up last year “pretend points”?
He will tel you PP points (which apparently in canada those dont count)…even though i believe he had more even strength points then crosby no?…if not more it was very close
PP points only count for players in Montreal and Vegas. Or if Don Cherry says it is ok.
Well deserved.
Oh look guys malkin with none power play point on the last one. Oh wait it was easy empty net point got to love that 9.5m investment
I guess the Russian didn’t waste time to get a minus
guentzel will also give 100% effort even though he’s making big bucks….unlike the russian jokester
After leading the team with 4 consecutive years with penalty minutes .
He has taken his game to a new level he is competing to finish 1st in the league with the most minuses .
You do realize your boy Max Domi has the same PIM as Geno.
He get pass cuz his cute
He gets a pass bc he is Canadian and plays for Montreal. If he was anything else and played in Pittsburgh Sam(e) would bash him too.
Sam(e) strikes back with the thumbs down club. Lol.
That’s your crew. You, tbj,,npl and now you have malkin too since he likes to collect minuses
Then why does everyone on here but you have thumbs down? F&ck you are stupid.
You do realize they dont get paid the same at all.
excellent price point for him. bargain as far as im concerned.
I think his slightly overpaid by 500k to 1m a year .
End of the day his nothing without sid. Just like rust and sheary once was
Yeah scum sully likes to bench Jake. But at least he gives his all unlike the Russian pays 50% of the time get more money and never gets in trouble and gets a free pass
Hes a better player than Toews and will make $4M less per year.
