Confirmed Trade: [CAR/COL/CHI] Mikko Rantanen (50%), Taylor Hall, Nils Juntorp to CAR; Martin Necas, Jack Drury, '25 2nd, '26 4th to COL; '25 3rd to CHI for retention

[Szechwan]

It’s the only reason. And even then…what are you doing to your chances this season?

I think they're betting that Necas alongside Mack isn't a huge drop-off, and they get him for an extra year. Wonder if there's another shoe to drop though.

 

[BKarchitect]

I mean. Whatever the pieces are. This is a big balls trade. For both (or all three?) sides.

This level of trade in-season is insane.

Mikko is one of the 3-4 superstar wingers in the league. Full stop. And his playoff record is insanely good.

 

[tucker3434]

Oh shit.

 

[eviohh26]

Carolina bringing in 15m in players, Chicago and Avs both retaining?

Could see Chi retaining and getting draft picks for doing so .

 

[MMC]

Thought this was only my second beer but based on what I’m thinking I’m reading here I guess this is my 7th or 8th

 

[bleedgreen]

Pounced.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

this has to be one of the best players to be traded in years

I mostly agree with you, but just this summer Edmonton traded Ceci.

 

[Leafshater67]

I guess they don't want to pay him? But why on earth would you trade a 100 point 28 year old? They better be getting some monstrous compensation.

Sometimes the best deals are the ones you don’t make. Maybe he wanted 13.5+. If he did, it’s hard to fit that in and win.

 

[Spilot23]

I blame HFAvs for saying that CMac is always asleep !!

 

[red devil]

I would say Jarvis and Nikitin... I pray not Necas, dont like the DNA

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Canucks are never making a trade

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Nathan MacKinnon:
"Damn, Carolina acquiring Hall from Carolina - Rants wanted to be updated, I'll just give him a call quic-oh what's th-"

 

[kerrabria]

The ? is the deactivated Coyotes retaining salary, isn’t it Squidward

 

[Czechboy]

Necas leaving?

 

[milehigh11]

Um that would be makar. Mikko can't drive his own line but yet wants to be paid like a to tier superstar.

If he wants 14 million+ on next contract it was gonna be elsewhere

I don’t understand why the Avs do this???? Isn’t he their best player after MacKinnon?

 

[Theodore450]

Deangelo trade was the domino

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

 

[Michoulicious]

Col gets: Necas, Nikishin
Car gets: Rantanen re signed 8 x 13, Hall (50%)
Chi gets: 3rd

 

[red devil]

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

 

[Joe Sakic]

I don't care. I. DONT. CARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing we could get in return would be worth Mikko. I'd have signed his ass. Dude it the real fricken deal.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Carolina going for a cup but seriously...why Taylor Hall? Lol

 

[maroon 6]

Wowzers

 

[Captain Mountain]

Holy shit, this is the biggest trade since Eichel.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

Trade and Extension?!?!
