Last week, supporters of the Pittsburgh Penguins who were hopeful for encouraging updates regarding Jake Guentzel were met with disheartening news from ex-NHL athlete Nick Kypreos.

During his broadcast on Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Kypreos revealed that the Penguins had made a significant proposal to Guentzel, believed to be around $50 million ($8.5 million for six years), yet pointed out that the agreement had not been signed.

This announcement suggested dissatisfaction from Guentzel's end, leading NHL expert Frank Seravalli to propose that the deal might be lacking in duration and financial terms.

Although there remains a chance for Guentzel to participate in a playoff campaign, Seravalli expressed skepticism about his extended tenure with the Penguins, challenging the logic of offering a hefty contract to a player on a team undergoing reconstruction.
