I actually wouldn’t mind him. Has grit, can PK, and can skate. He’d change the complexion of the bottom pairing significantly.

Nah. Much like every other top-tier guy that's ever been on the trade market, it's all wishful thinking

Bringing in Swayman and giving him Rantanen's current money while using the other 4 million Mikko is going to demand on depth, is the kind of move that would build my faith in this management staff.
In other words, never going to happen.

Have some of you people ever even wondered, if Boston would actually have any interest in Mikko? They can't get Swayman signed, so let's trade him for a winger that is going to play beneath Pastrnak but demand more money than him? That'll work.

Sounds like George and Rants to me. They can control the cost of Rants to the tune of 12M over 8 years.

They could always flip Rantanen at the deadline for your standard superstar rental package. That would basically bring in a boat load of assets along with Georgiev.

First of all, they couldn't trade for Rantanen as it is without making moves, let alone bring Georgiev along. And then just hope to flip Rantanen again? Third team would have to be involved from the getgo. A third team, that can re-sign Rantanen.
I have a VERY hard time seeing a trade of this complexity being pulled off, even if the FO was contemplating on trading Rantanen which doesn't seem likely at this point.

There's no way the Avs would move Rants and they won't get Swayman. They have shown they are not willing to pay a high dollar for a goalie since they got burned on Varly. Given Swayman will cost maybe a top 5 contract at his position, but at least a top 10 one... seems radically against the Avs' MO.

Bruins are in win-now with Marchand and Pastrnak not getting any younger.

Also, watch a team flip a ton of assets for Rantanen at the deadline when they could just add him for free in July...

In terms of the damage he did to the Oilers I'm calling him "Chiarelli"

But maybe they're beginning to learn their lesson in this regard? Gives them peace of mind. Nichuksin + Georgiev actually could make a tonne of sense and is basically equal capwise if we add in a league min F for Nuke

If the Askarov rumors have legs, I'd argue they haven't. Odds are they are going to try Nabokov early too so they can stay cheap in net.
Nobody with any aspirations is trading for Nuke. Boston wouldn't touch him.

God this is going to be funny to watch from the outside.
