Aaaaaaaaaand - despite having undergone a recent server upgrade, a trade shuts down HFBoards. Same as it ever was.

Doritos are fine. If you get the taco flavored kind like I do that is actually a health food. Don't eat them while biking though. That is not safe.
I just saw your wife is 27? You are my hero. I really need to learn more about you. I used to like posters like Zubov, Will1066 and BHamill but you are now my favorite poster by far!!!

WAAAAAAA!!!
The only reasonable scenario is they wanted to dump Hall for some reason. 1 year $6M on that contract. Kinda weird they just gave him away. The 3rd is purely for the retention.

That's what I'm saying. A 3rd for Hall AND 50% retention on Rantanen seems like a pretty weak return.
Hall does seem like like the kind of player someone would pay at least a 2nd for at the deadline usually.
Will be interesting to see how Rantanan fits in Carolina, and how much they are prepared to pay him

I've been pedaling slowly, maybe 9 or 10 mph, while watching Lord of the Rings. This movie has been running for what feels like 107 hours. I needed to eat at some point.

Hero lol. I know you're joking, but I'm as messy, broken, and crazy as everyone else.
I vacation/live in Asia a lot of the time and met her by chance. She and I clicked well and age disparity seems more commonplace and accepted over there. Not much more to it. I mostly mentioned her age as an illustration I don't feel old. I got married (2nd marriage) and had my first kids in my 50s and it's been a total blast.
If my wife were my age, I wouldn't feel any different. We have very similar values and outlooks and complement each other exceedingly well.

I know a lady from the Philippines who has a similar story. Love is love. Happiness is happiness. I'm glad you found it at 50. That is a great story imo!

Rantanen is a rental. That's a steep price to pay. He got traded because he wasn't taking less than MacKinnon on a long term deal in Colorado (12.6M per.) He wants the 14M that Draisatl got or more. Carolina's owner is notoriously cheap. Will they really offer 14M x 8 years for Rantanen? Not so sure but we'll see
How did Carolina's big rental work out last season? They still lost to us in Round 2.

I don't know if I don't like Colorado's end of this more than Carolina's. I think Taylor Hall has declined a lot the last 2/3 years. Rantanen's the best player in the deal but Necas is really really good and Jack Drury is probably a solid 2nd liner for years to come. Plus they get a 2nd and a 4th and if you weren't going to re-sign Rantanen anyway you got Necas for one more year and a good 3/4 more years of Drury anyway.
If the Canes get Rantanen to sign that's at least $10.5 and maybe more. They have Aho at 9750, Svechnikov at 7750, Jarvis at 7420, Slavin at 6396. That's about $43 mil tied up in 5 players with Rantanen giving them a team friendly.....which he might not do. They have 13 roster players for next year....a bunch of UFA's probably going out the door and I don't know if their goaltending situation is quite there with Kochetkov. He can be pretty good but he's not going to carry a team and it's best if he has a really D in front of him--something I wouldn't say the Canes have now and it might be worse next year.
