Exactly. That's how I see it too. It might pay off for them if they win one Stanley cup but then he becomes too happy to score those points but not do much else.
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)

Of course he isn't, how could he be? You win a Cup with any guy and you are going to be shaken up to loose him. But MacK more than anyone knows this is a business and could for certain see the issues with the contract, it's just these guys like to only think about that stuff in the off-season

Bedsy sounds down in the dumps over the trade as well. Sounds like a broken man. Looks disheveled. 5 o'clock shadow isn't something I ever recall him sporting before.

Holy fishsticks Batman!...we traded Drury back to Carolina after one game?
Looked like some combination of hungover and running on 0 hrs of sleep

And this is why people don't trust media and journalists anymore.
He lost a player who was playing almost half a game. Of course he is sad. His system of overplaying top guys isn't as effective anymore when one is gone.

Last time we had a coach "blindsided" by a trade was when Sakic traded Nick Holden to the Rags for a 3rd rounder.

A little surprised that the FO didn't speak to their leaders about an important trade like this. But I suppose it explains why Lando is on the trip.
Lol I remember Patrick Roy apparently called someone within the Rangers after the trade and said something along the lines of "congrats you just got one of the Avs' best players.
Yikes.

Lol, what? "Grow up"?
Jesus man one of his closest and most skilled teammates just got traded like 18 hours ago.
He even acknowledged it was the business side and said he wants everyone to get paid. He essentially just said he's sad to be losing a close friend. You lost respect for him over that? It doesn't take much for you.
His friend Drouin didn't get "paid" yet he stick around.
If there's a will, there's a way. Mikko had no will to stay.

You’re right, it doesn’t take much.
You can go cry in the shower away from the media. You don’t need to moan about it for an hour in front of the media.
This is our best player sounding like his boyhood dog just died.
“Yeah, obviously it’s always tough to lose a great player and friend like Mikko, but this is a business and I’m really excited about the guys we’ve added to our lineup.”
Done, that’s it.
Nobody needs to know they spent 20 minutes on the phone crying with each other.

I really don’t find anything wrong with what Nate said there. It was a shock for everyone. Whatever some folks here may think of Mikko, he’s a big superstar, top 10 player in the NHL, and probably a future hall of famer, and he was traded mid season while the team is in the battle to position themselves for the playoffs. Not to mention Mikko is a good person and was close friends with Nate and others on the team

Im surprised to hear Mackinnon is surprised. Definitely thought he was at a point where management would keep him up to speed on decisions like that.
He was too fast for the management so they got Necas to catch up with him.
MacKinnon got over Tyson Barrie getting traded he'll be fine.
