I have a feeling one of the young guys goes (Bourque or Stankoven) and someone like Marchment...

All speculation on my part.
They should just do that and try and hash out a contract over the next few weeks. Sucks to Lose Bourque or Stank, but f*** it we'll cry ourselves to sleep with the cup in a few months

Yeah. Nill said he's gonna hold onto the young trio but I think it would be tough to pull off a Rantanen trade without giving up Bourque or Stankoven. They'd probably need a third team involved to do it without those guys as the Canes are looking for players who can help them now, not picks or prospects.

the belief is, they flip the assets they get from us to Van for Boesser

That could potentially work, yeah. The question is though whether Vancouver has already given up. They're only one point out of a wildcard spot. If they trade Boeser for picks and prospects that's not gonna help their playoff chances.

Tough to lose any of the 3 but upgrading two of them into Rantanen is huge. Would be amazing if they could manage to keep Stank and Mav, but that seems unlikely.

Remember when we were all watching Wyatt, Stank and Mav in juniors? Those were fun days watching a ridiculous amount of CHL highlights. Would love to keep our CHL MVPs together.

I don't think that would be too much of a problem as the Canes are most certainly gonna want players with term in return. Canes are a playoff team, they're looking for a hockey deal, not picks or prospects.

Not entirely true, they were decimated in the offseason, they're a good team but they might be trying to retool a bit here too, Necas was not staying after next year either way.

They're not gonna get a fish as big as Rantanen back in that deal so of course they're gonna be looking for young guys like Stankoven or Bourque as part of that deal. So we're talking retool for sure but I'm pretty sure they only want players they can slot into their lineup right now. If they get picks or non NHL ready prospects they're most certainly gonna want to flip them in a different deal.
 
Rantanen striking me as a “me” player. Giving hard times to the Avs, Canes, and now us. The longer this circus drags on, the more I don’t care for him anymore.

Meh, if I was looking to sign what could be my final contract and I had already won The Cup, I'd be trying to maximize how much I took home as well, so I don't hate him for it, lol.

I said it a few times already but I think he just wants to test free agency. Just a guess but I don't think he wants to sign a deal now. I think he wants money. Could be overplaying his hand though. If he has to stay in Carolina and doesn't get going he might be surprised to find out he won't get a better deal than previously offered.
 
LOL the Sportsnet panel asking Stars legend Luke Gazdic what deadline day was like. Might as well just ask me I'll tell you for free

Pretty sure he played more for the Oilers than the Stars lol . DId he even ever dress for an NHL game with Dallas ? I don't think he did ?
 
An interesting note is that Nill and Co. are negotiating with the same agent (Andy Scott) for Rantanen as they were and will be with Johnston and Harley.

don't think the agent is the issue here, but the prima donna who thinks he's a top 5 player in the league

If that money is not acceptable than he's not signing here because thats very good money
