The Hurricanes and Penguins working on a Jake Guentzel deal
Hurricanes PR: The Carolina Hurricanes are holding Michael Bunting out of tonight’s game for trade-related reasons.
Elliotte Friedman: Talk is that Bunting will be a part of trade with the Pittsburgh Penguins for Jake Guentzel.
Pierre LeBrun: “Hurricanes have been pushing hard with Pittsburgh on Guentzel. It would make sense that Bunting would be part of that package if Carolina can get a deal with the Penguins across the finish line.”
Term an issue for the Seattle Kraken and Jordan Eberle … and the Edmonton Oilers are watching
Tyler Yaremchuk: Frank Seravalli on the DFO Rundown on Seattle Kraken pending UFA forward Jordan Eberle, and the Edmonton Oilers interest.
** NHLRumors.com transcription
Jason Gregor: “(Justin) Shultz. (Jordan) Eberle. What are you hearing?”
Seravalli: “Jordan Eberle. That’s another player that the Oilers are monitoring between now and Friday. I think they would trade to bring him in still, even after the Henrique deal.
Eberle has been going back and forth with the Kraken on a contract. They’re offering I think a two-year deal. I think he’s looking for a third year. My belief is his preference is to stay in Seattle.
But if Seattle doesn’t get a deal done, they vowed to trade him by Friday.
