Rumblings of 3-team trade between Penguins, Bruins and Canucks for 3 star forwards!

It’s Wednesday trade frenzy and insider Kevin Weekes has now reported that rumblings on a three-team trade have emerged ahead of Friday’s deadline. Weekes reports that the Canucks could acquired Jake Guentzel from the Pittsburgh Penguins, who would get Jake DeBrusk from the Boston Bruins as they would end up with Elias Lindholm from Vancouver.

Lindholm was traded by the Calgary Flames to the Canucks last month, which led to rumours of a potential contract extension for the pending free agent to stay in Canada. However, rumblings surfaced, earlier when insider Chris Johnston reported that the Canucks could look at the possibility of acquiring Guentzel and potentially flipping Lindholm to the Bruins as part of the machinations to make it happen.

The Bruins would need to make room for him, especially if the plan is to extend him beyond this season, which is where the idea of shipping out DeBrusk comes in.

Guentzel is currently on the Penguins’ long-term injured reserve, ruling him out beyond March 8, but he might have just played his last game with the team. He is a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a cap hit of $6 million. He has 22 goals and 52 points in 50 games this season and could be what Vancouver wants to gamble on. However, it will have to keep in mind that there is a possibility that teams looking to acquire Guentzel might call about extending him before they make their trade offers to the Penguins. He’s been linked to the Canucks for weeks now but also to the Carolina Hurricanes, Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers.
