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)

Just because you come from a small town doesn't mean you always want to live in one though. In fact that drives many to want to live in bigger cities.

Also, Ismo Lehkonen said Mikko spent most of the summer a couple years ago partying in Helsinki, and we've all seen the photo from years ago of him smoking while out on the town in the off season.

I was just speculating though, he could very well re-sign in Carolina with his Finnish buddies. Dallas makes a lot of sense too.

This is I hope he has enough success Carolina never allows him to test the market. Keep him out East lol. He's probably going to have a reset level off season after this wakeup call.

The only name allowed to wear that number apparently.

Jack Drury owns, guy is a menace out there.

I'm hoping they eventually put LOC and him together. A smart, fast forechecking LW would really tie things together and give us a relentless 3rd/4th line

LOC is a RW.

Please, he’s the only right handed guy we have in the bottom 6. Don’t make him play his off wing.

This is why the 3rd line should be Colton Drury LOC. You know, the 3rd line caliber players on the team..

I think you misread that. I want ???-Drury-LOC, I want a LW that is smart enough and fast enough to play with these two. Wood is fast, but too dumb. Colton seems like he and Wood just broke up and is miserable.

Drury will get Landeskog or Lehhky eventually.

God, that would be beautiful. I almost feel like it would be best for Landy to come back with Drury and LOC since they can do so much of the skating and pressuring.

Yes, or they should listen to me, and flip Colton to NJ and use that return to get Crouse.

5 goals + 2 assists in the last 27 games since coming back from the broken foot.

Incredible 21 point season pace.

If it wasn’t for his hot start where everything was going in, his season would look way worse.

This is all 100% true and I can't deny it, but let me spin you a tale of light fantasy:

8 goals in the first 10 games playing top line wing. Let's just say his hand doesn't get hurt in late October - could he have scored 30 this year and made our depth issues look different? Shit luck.

This is all just me coping, and I'm aware of it lol. He gone.

If they can convince NJD that a swap around Colton and Nemec is a good idea I'd be laughing my ass off the rest of the season.

It was his foot that broke not his hand.

And no, he was shooting at an incredibly high % and was never going to maintain that pace.

He just isn't very good tbh, wing or center. It is what it is.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

It was his foot that broke not his hand.

Well I know he broke his foot, but I could have sworn he also hurt his hand early on. Maybe that was just a stinger and I conflated the two. I try to not think about this team's injuries much lol

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Talking about hand injury.....anybody noticed yesterday that Makar's right hand was wrapped up? I wonder when that happened.

 

[Hasbro]

Yeah, it depends on a person. But I mean, even Raleigh would be the 2nd biggest city on Finland by population. Denver has more people than Helsinki, so idk, we'll see. Dallas has a bigger population than 3 of the biggest Finnish towns combined.

There’s a joke in Veep where the very jaded Finnish PM’s husband compares his wife’s job to being the mayor of Cleveland.

The only name allowed to wear that number apparently.

That name being “Trade Bait”?

Mr. Meseeks being asked to improve our power play would make for an entertaining episode

Haha Bennett as Jerry makes too much sense.

 

[Pokecheque]

Drury and LOC on a line together with, like, I dunno, Colton?...would be interesting to say the least.

Although that effectively leaves a 4th line of Wood - Kelly - Kiviranta, I dunno about that one.

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Hey, couldn't find fantasy thread but would love to hear anyone's thoughts...

Would you trade rantanen for Schieffele in a H2H cats league? I've got pretty strong wingers and also have Svechnikov and Jarvis on Carolina so I don't really think I want Rants too, plus. I kind of think he doesn't hold as much value on Carolina... I could use a top tier center and he would fetch the best.

Thoughts on the below? If not, who would you target instead? I don't want to go for J. hughes as I already have Hischier...

G. A. SOG. PP. H. BLKs.
Rants
26 40 19 152 29 33
Schiefele
31 30 20 123 41 43

Interestingly, consensus on dailyfaceoff seems to be no but no one seems to want to elaborate... I lose a bit of assists but gain in hits and blocks...
