MAJOR | The price to acquire Jake Guentzel has been revealed: Allvin ready to pull the trigger?
It's still unclear if Jake Guentzel will be available at this year's trade deadline, but if he is, he'll be one of the hottest commodities.
Whoever acquires him will be paying a fairly hefty price according to Rick Dhaliwal
The problem with Guentzel, cost is going to be high. We're looking at a first rounder, top prospect, and a player,
Dhaliwal said.
Dhaliwal said while the goal scoring prowess of Guentzel would be a welcome add, the 29 year old is due for a significant raise this summer that the Canucks may not be able to afford.
The Canucks reporter says that's quite the price for a rental, and the team would have to go deep into the playoffs to justify it.
Dhaliwal said teams will be asking for top prospects Tom Willander and Jonathan Lekkerimäki from the Canucks if they go big game hunting, and the team should avoid parting with them.
