Rumors continue to swirl about Jake Guentzel and the Capitals. Protas looking to build on success

The Washington Capitals are considering the signing of Jake Guentzel, a highly skilled forward set to become a free agent. Guentzel's strong performance in the previous season, during which he scored 30 goals and provided 47 assists, has garnered interest from several teams, including the Vancouver Canucks, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Florida Panthers. Additionally, it is reported that Guentzel's signing rights are available in exchange for a mid-draft pick, indicating a competitive market for his services.
In parallel, Aliaksei Protas, a forward with the Washington Capitals, experienced a significant developmental journey under the guidance of first-year head coach Spencer Carbery. Displaying a notable performance with 22 assists at 5-on-5 and assuming expanded responsibilities within the team, Protas attributes his progress and confidence to the unwavering support and opportunities provided by Coach Carbery. This culminated in Protas signing a five-year extension, expressing gratitude for the coach's belief in his capabilities.

The Caps need two centers. And a whole lot else. Guentzel would be a great signing.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

He's a winger though. PLD is a C but he not it

[@michaelpascuzzi9734]

Would absolutely LOVE to see Guentzel in a Caps sweater. Hope they can pull it off.

[@craigtrulock5683]

Yes please god get Jake Guentzel

[@XaviRonaldo0]

I know we need some scoring but another 30+ (as of October 6) guy though.
