Proposal: CAR-PIT-WSH

[um]

Canes fan perspective, no to EK and in a trade with Washington I would want Protas not McMichael as one of the main pieces. But odds of Rantanen winding up in Washington are about zero anyways.

Canes would be lucky to get any young top 6 forward for a rental.

Teams probably aren't lining up to make the same mistake ya'll made with Necas.

I sure hope the Caps aren't.

I don’t think Canes would trade him unless he extends as a part of the deal. Return wouldn’t be worth it if he’s being traded as a rental.

What's funny to me is, as a Hurricanes fan, the most objectionable part is swapping out Burns for Karlsson. Not because I think Burns is better-he's been rough this year, as expected of a guy on the cusp of 40- but I don't think Karlsson is that much better to risk messing up the chemistry between Burns and Slavin. Devil you know, innint? I'd love to see the team get Karlsson though, their powerplay has been atrocious (playoff form in January, baby!), but as a 2nd/3rd pairing guy.

That's fair. I think one of him, Hall, or Kotkaniemi has to be involved in any deal of this magnitude for them in order to make the cap work.

Rantanen wouldn't extend in Colorado or Carolina, why would he suddenly want to resign in Washington with no connection and no Finns?

Rantanen wants the big July 1 payday and to choose his destination.

Not trying to get on your case. I just think it's very unlikely.

Missing one of Ivan Miroshnichenko or Ilya Protas going the other way?
