Wednesday’s “First Call” aims to offer insights into the potential moves involving Penguins forward Jake Guentzel ahead of Friday’s trade deadline. Additionally, we delve into discussions regarding the Steelers’ strategy regarding retaining a wide receiver and their prospects of signing a free-agent tight end.

Noteworthy NFL franchise tag moves are also on the radar for Steelers fans.

Timing and Logistics

Emerging details shed light on when the Penguins might trade Jake Guentzel, potential destinations, and the mechanics of a potential trade. According to Darren Dreger of TSN, the Pens aim to finalize a deal by Wednesday night, despite the trade deadline not looming until Friday afternoon. Presumably, this urgency stems from general manager Kyle Dubas’ need to solidify the current roster and explore further trade options in the remaining two days. Dreger also outlined Dubas’ trade targets.

Regarding potential landing spots, Vancouver is frequently mentioned, given the presence of former Penguins personnel in key positions. NHL Insider Chris Johnston suggested the Canucks might trade Elias Lindholm to Boston to create room.

Retaining Robinson?

The Steelers are contemplating retaining Allen Robinson II at a reduced salary, primarily for his blocking prowess and versatility in run-game formations. The franchise reportedly met with Robinson’s representatives at the NFL Scouting Combine. With Robinson’s current cap hit at $11.9 million, the Steelers see value in keeping him, especially considering their thin receiver depth.

Missed Opportunity?

The Steelers’ pursuit of Jonnu Smith seems unlikely, with reports indicating the free-agent tight end is in talks with the Dolphins. Despite speculation due to Smith’s prior association with offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, the Steelers already have options at tight end, making Smith’s arrival improbable.

Franchise Tag Notes

In NFL franchise tag news, the Bears tagged cornerback Jaylon Johnson, while the Ravens tagged defensive tackle Justin Madubuike. Both moves have implications for the Steelers, as Johnson was previously linked to Pittsburgh, and Madubuike’s presence strengthens the Ravens’ defense.
