Jake Guentzel traded to Tampa Bay

With about 24 hours to go before the free agent market opened, the Hurricanes decided to make a move.

They saw that discussions with Jake Guentzel were going nowhere, so they decided to trade him.

The forward’s rights are heading south from Raleigh, to Tampa Bay. In return, Carolina gets a third-round pick in 2025.

They can’t broadcast match images. They can fall back on photos. I’ve been on the other side of TVA Sports as an editor and the instructions were clear to limit video images as much as possible. That’s how it goes.

Will have more later but sources say #Sens aren’t expected to qualify Erik Brannstrom. Will be a UFA.
