Confirmed with Link: [COL, CAR, CHI] Rantanen-Hall to CAR, Necas-Drury-25 2nd-26 4th to COL, Chi 25 3rd to Chi (Ret 50% on Mikko)

[The Pwnerer]

Necas is very fast. He's going to fit right in on Mack's wing.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Stupid Mittelstadt sucking caused us to lose mikko.

 

[Balthazar]

Necas 55 points in 49 games

6’3”

Right handed shot

Still has untapped potential

Very fast, excellent skater

If we end up with Jones (retained) and Necas IMO it's a win. Necas will thrive next to Mack.

 

[Avs_19]

Wow wow wow. Can't believe it. Never believed for one second they'd do it. Figured Mikko would be here for a long time or they'd just play it out.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

 

[Foppberg]

Trading for somebody who's in line for a fat contract next year, brilliant.

 

[CharlesPuck]

Avs tried loading up with all Finns and Mikko had enough.

 

[Foppa2118]

I don't like that

Also the most likely scenario though.

 

[pont]

Means mitts will be traded as well ?

We may have our third line center.

 

[Avs425]

Necas and Jones would help a lot, but losing Mikko Rantanen feels like death and a funeral. Can i get a refund on my three headed monster t-shirt?

 

[Hornstar]

If it’s just Necas coming back from Carolina, we lose the trade badly

Not really

 

[AegonLeConqueror]

Avs tried loading up with all Finns and Mikko had enough.

Mikko: I want Aho to go along with Lehky.

Avs: Best we can do is Innala and Kiviranta.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

How pissed are people going to be when they see that the Canes sneak Tyson Jost back to the Avs in this deal?

 

[dmac7719]

Even if this trade doesn't involve Jones, Avs could turn right around and go after him. Cleared some cap with this move, downgrade on wing, upgrade on d

 

[Foppberg]

Losing Mikko and Landy in only a few years is brutal. No way we'll be a better team without him.

 

[Foppa2118]

Trading for somebody who's in line for a fat contract next year, brilliant.

Yeah, I had preferred Svech in part for that reason. Will have the same problem next year.

Waiting on the final details though. I'm cautiously optimistic given the position they were in with Mikko.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

If Mikko truly wanted 14m annually even on an 8 year deal, none of us can be upset with trading him.

Loved Moose, but you can’t honestly watch him game in and game out and say he’s worth that.

 

[Avs9296]

There's still more to this. Why would Chicago be scouting us if they were only sending Hall to Carolina

 

[amigo]

Well it seems there was more behind this than just a contract.

 

[Joe Sakic]

Well it seems there was more behind this than just a contract.

HOW?!?!!?!?

 

[Vaslof]

How pissed are people going to be when they see that the Canes sneak Tyson Jost back to the Avs in this deal?

We were looking for a 2C..

I'll be a bit disappointed if a retained Jones isn't coming back.

Rantanen for Necas with minor pieces going both ways is a huge loss. If we got Jones the defense would be revamped.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Wow. I go truck shopping and come back to Mikko being traded.

OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!

 

[JoeSakic13]

Well it seems there was more behind this than just a contract.

Yeah Mikko seemed extra lazy lately

 

[Balthazar]

Remember that Mikko has a NMC, he had to say yes to the trade.
