This doesn’t make sense.

Why would the Hawks be scouting us like crazy? Why have we scouted their last two games?

Davidson came to two of our games, for what? To agree on how much they retain of Rants? That’s a phone call.

I’m waiting.
They wanted to see Mikko's retention in action before the trade.
 
He literally broke the Rants trade tonight

Yes credit where credit is due. He was seconds ahead of everyone else, while getting Kotkaniemi going to the Avs, Gabe's knee blowing up with swelling, and probably other things wrong this year.

He's overly aggressive in his reporting to try to be first. Occasionally he's first. Other times it leads to being wrong.

It's a bad habit for reporters. Like saying Mikko is close to signing with the Avs. This is what separates them from guys like Friedman or Lebrun who couch what they say appropriately.
 
Anyone who has ever bought a house that depends on them selling their current house knows how hard these multi team deals must be. Damn. This one is a beast.
Interesting tidbit - sometimes what happens is that the players in the deals house swap. I knew an Avs player’s wife bout 10 years ago and when he got traded, they swapped. Not a long term solution but it works short term.
 
How can we get both Jones and Miller? Let’s trade everyone!!!!!
Why not get Ovi too so he breaks the record with an Avs jersey on?

Yeah Mikko is special but so is every kid in school. I like this deal, we're stale and everyone knows it. Hopefully it shakes up the PP too, everyone in Canada knows Mikko is hanging out in the right circle for a one timer.
