The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired the rights to pending unrestricted free agent winger Jake Guentzel from the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick.
The 29-year-old Guentzel is slated to become an unrestricted free agent Monday when the free agent window officially opens. By trading for Guentzel, the Lightning have an exclusive window to sign Guentzel before he can reach the open market.
