New Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas is staring at one of the biggest decisions in his young tenure with the team, and it is rapidly approaching. The decision will focus on what he decides to do with star winger Jake Guentzel, both before the NHL trade deadline and going into the offseason.
Will he trade him?
Will he re-sign him?
Will he be able to re-sign him?
Given the current state of contract negotiations — his agent recently told ESPN negotiations could get heated in the future — the first big decision will be whether or not Dubas and the Penguins want to hold onto Guentzel beyond the March 8 trade deadline.
