Speculation: 2025 Trade/Free Agency Thread

[Hey234]

Ive been saying this. He is good at faceoffs too, so stick him next to Carlsson and Zegras.

But what realistically could the Ducks offer that Carolina would want? The Hurricanes are in win now and would want players to help this version of the team. If it was a sign and trade, it would be a lot more. I love the idea of Rantanen, but the cost seems to high and the match seems wrong. The Ducks need trade partners looking for picks and/or prospects.

I would give up someone good for him, if he comes with an extension. It would probably cost someone like McTavish/Luneau and a first though. Its certainly a gamble.

A sign and trade could be great for Anaheim and Carolina, but why would Rantanen agree to sign if he can just go to UFA in a few months?

At some point, the record when scoring 3 goals or more in games isn’t a fluke. At some point it feels Verbeek owes it to this team to get them closer to a team that consistently do that night in and night out and see where it ends up

For whatever reason, I’m just not that big on Rantanen. Very good player obviously, but I get the feeling he’s benefited from playing with great players that we don’t have.

I won’t complain if we get him obviously though
