Confirmed with Link: [Col/Chi/Car] Rantanen (50% by Chicago), Hall, Nils Juntorp to Car - Drury, Necas, 2nd, 4th to Avs, 3rd round pick to Chicago

[HisIceness]

KK has been hot as of recent but by and large the experiment didn't turn out well. This frees up cap space too.

 

[spockBokk]

They’re getting more than a 3rd…

 

[Chrispy]

KK is fun because… who’s playing center? It’s just Aho/Staal/Drury now!

Roslovic?

Jost ready to come back?

Suzuki finally gets a shot??

 

[Ben Grimm]

Playoff teams are gonna have to play 4 road games in Carolina. The Hurricanes will win the President's Trophy and the SC.

 

[Unsustainable]

I guess if this a 3 way, need to get the 2 threads merged,

 

[hangman005]

And by major, I don’t mean @hangman005 going live on OnlyFans.

Yes you do.

 

[Slapshottothehead]

Necas and KK... lol. Just gotta extend Rants....

 

[Wolfpuck]

We’re going to have oodles of cap space this offseason, so we should have little problem re-signing him.

This is massive.

And wtf is up with the HF hamsters??

 

[Unsustainable]

@hangman005 Can you merge the 2 rumor threads under 1, since its a 3way?

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

definitely sad about Necas and even KK as frustrating as he was at times is a very likeable player and a guy I would've liked to have on the team as a long term 3C for a low cap hit, but no brainer to ship both out for a player of Rants' caliber. Legit top 10-15 player in the league. f***ing incredible and it finally happened. Eichel and Tkachuk both resulted in cups for the teams who traded for them, think we're next?

 

[Brock Anton]

We just can’t make the same mistake we did with Guentzel. He’s gotta be signed long before the draft.

The answer is yes.... but only slowly Really really slowly

 

[tarheelhockey]

Holy ****, this might be the 2nd best threeway I’ve had in 2025

New GM, wont be fooled again

[dogbazinho]

Defending Avs a bit, this is what you do with players that won't resign. IE Hamilton, Trochek, Pesce, Skjei etc

 

[bleedgreen]

Well. We got rid of KK.

Not sure about the whole Rants as a rental for Necas part….

Rants will be more consistent than Necas and presumably have much better chemistry with everyone.

Drury is our 2C….feels like something might still need to happen if we’re making this run with Rants. I can’t see Drury being the game plan after an “all in” move like this.

 

[chaz4hockey]

OP's got merged but can someone explain the Hall deal to me. Isn't he washed up and very costly (albeit this is his last year of contract)?

Well. We got rid of KK.

Drury is our 2C….feels like something might still need to happen if we’re making this run with Rants. I can’t see Drury being the game plan after an “all in” move like this.

Agreed....do we still have the assets/cap room to acquire Miller?

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Defending Avs a bit, this is what you do with players that won't resign. IE Hamilton, Trochek, Pesce, Skjei etc

lol, comparing a top 10 player to those guys. apples and oranges my man

 

[tarheelhockey]

The fact that they waited for KK and Necas to finally score a couple of points and then traded them both is hilarious.

If Rod sees this, Rantanen will be on the fourth line.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Well. We got rid of KK.

$12m long term for Rantanen and the whole thing gets simpler.

We didn’t give up much in the grand scheme of things for Guentzel. Feels like we can’t have this be a rental, truly can’t.

 

[spockBokk]

No Kotkaniemi?

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

well it sounds like we will actually come out of this deal with more cap space than we had before it so there could certainly be another move on the horizon. what rental 2Cs are there? or is Rants gonna play C for us and just pair with Aho on the PP?
