The Tampa Bay Lightning continued their makeover on Sunday by trying to jump the gun with a top NHL free agent.
The Lightning acquired the rights to star forward Jake Guentzel from the Hurricanes on Sunday, trading a 2025 third-round pick to Carolina.
Guentzel, 29, had been with the Penguins his entire career until he was dealt to the Hurricanes at this year’s trade deadline, helping Carolina reach the second round of the playoffs, where they fell to the Rangers.
