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.
I’m kinda to the point where idk that going after someone like that and trading 2-3 premium assets +…. Is really beneficial for us. I think we’re kinda in that grey area where it’s not to think about it…. But idk how worth it is long term.
3 way trade maybe where Ducks get Rantanen and a goalie, Ducks unprotected 1st goes to a rebuilding team (and maybe a prospect?), Carolina gets a good player or two from the rebuilding team and Gibson? I'm not sure what good players are available from rebuilding teams... they might be able to get someone with term with our 1st.
In free agency? Sure. As a trade? Not so much. If I'm Carolina I'd be asking for Terry with an add.
What kind of player do you think the Ducks will get with a pick in the 8-12 range? A middle 6 player or a mid pair D probably that's years out probably. At some point, the Ducks need to start pushing for the playoffs... at the moment they are 6 points out with a game in hand. If they're in the 4-7 point range at the deadline and they can acquire a legit star (assuming he'll re-sign here) they should go for it. There is no guarantee he'll sign here in free agency. If he's not going to sign a contract either before or right after the trade, don't make the move. It's not for a rental, but a long term piece.
I don't think Carolina gives a rip about the Ducks 1st in the 8-12 range. They're going to want to make a hockey trade that still positions them to win the SC. The name that stands out is Terry. As for the Ducks, they are a rebuilding team with outstanding goaltending.
Only if he can get a contract from us that he doesn't think he can get anywhere else, which would also be concerning.
I'd argue that no one is going to offer an asset like that and neither should we. I do agree they will want to roster assets. But they're not getting a roster player with term at that level of play. Especially if it's just for the opportunity to sign him.
Yup, Carolina got themselves into this mess (again). If they want to they can keep taking these risks, but nobody is bailing them out unless Rantanen comes back extended.
Carolina doesn't, but there are rebuilding teams with players that Carolina might want who might still be looking for picks. Cane's are not getting a player back as good as Rantanen in a trade, so I don't think they'll move him.
Sign me up. The reason Terry wasn’t made captian let alone given a letter at all. I assume verbeek always felt that he might be the odd duck out/ and or the piece in a trade to upgrade. Between Leo, Zegras and Terry. That’s 1 or 2 vanilla core to many forwards for a guy like verbeek is my guess. Given Zegras has “ done what’s asked “
