Jake Guentzel signs 7-Year contract extension with Tampa Bay Lightning

The Tampa Bay Lightning have reached a seven-year contract extension agreement with Jake Guentzel, whom they acquired earlier today through a trade.

Earlier today, reports surfaced of a trade involving Jake Guentzel, where the Tampa Bay Lightning traded a third-round pick to the Carolina Hurricanes for the early negotiation rights with Guentzel.

Latest addition coming to Tampa! ⚡️

We have acquired forward Jake Guentzel from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

Still not finalized, but all signs point to Tampa getting Jake Guentzel signed to a 7-year deal. I would expect an announcement sometime tomorrow before the market opens. The Bolts weren't going to trade for his rights without feeling good about their chances to get him signed.

Now, he joins forces with Brayden Point and Nikita Kucherov to form a formidable forward trio. Additionally, he steps in to fill the void left by Steven Stamkos, whom the Lightning are allowing to enter free agency.
