In a stunning prediction, the renowned insider Elliotte Friedman linked the free agent Jake Guentzel to Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks.
Guentzel, 29, will be available on the free agent market on July 1st after a busy year. He got traded at the deadline by the Pittsburgh Penguins to the Carolina Hurricanes, while staying on top of his game. He tallied 25 points in 17 regular season games, and nine points in 11 playoff games with the Canes.
Elliotte Friedman, during an intervention on NHL Network, shared a bold prediction about Guentzel's next destination. According to him, he'll sign in Chicago:
"Guentzel to Chicago July 1st .

Guentzel could be one of the most qualified player to play with Connor Bedard. Considering his experience alongside
Sidney Crosby, he'd be in a position to help Bedard growing into the best player possible.
As for the Blackhawks, they have all it takes to be among the top contenders to land him. With $33,790,000 in projected cap space (per CapFriendly), they could make him an interesting offer.
