Unless he loves Carolina, I don’t see why Mikko would re-sign with them without at least testing free agency. Money appears to be Mikko’s priority and Carolina has a reputation for not being huge spenders.

With that being the case, he’s almost certainly going to get higher offers in FA and there’s no reason for him to rush to sign.

Apparently the facilities are kinda bad there(rated one of the worst in the league )and the city is boring.

Mikko will pass. Especially after this bad start. If he doesn't get going soon, no way he stays imo.

What will they have to show for Necas, Drury, and two draft picks? Two months worth of Rantanen and a futures package in a year they're supposed to compete for a cup?

That's a fireable offense.

I am not so sure they couldn't salvage it to some degree. If they retain another 50% on Rantanen to $2.3M, even less for deadline cap almost every contender could fit that in. Even as a pure rental they could get a 1st + + or up to 2 2sts from a team going for it all looking to make a splash as Mikko level players dont usually come available often even as a rental.

Notebook: Could Mikko Rantanen Actually Get Traded Again?

Seventeen days ago the hockey world, and fans around this team in particular, were stunned when Mikko Rantanen was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes — suddenly ending his storied 10-year stint with the Colorado Avalanche. Seventeen days ago it was the biggest news in the NHL. Seventeen days...

What happens with Rantanen remains to be seen. Important context however, Necas was 95% getting traded this offseason the latest by Carolina. So for them he was almost like an own rental anyway. So they could've received a futures package in the worst case anyway.

I still think it's a nothing burger - just other people jumping on the 'story' for clicks.

It will be an interesting story to follow if he's not signed by the deadline, but I have a hard time believing the Canes are going to flip him. They got him to get over the hump in the playoffs, and will likely throw a bag at him before July 1 to save face. Whether or not he accepts it is the bigger question.

It's kind of funny seeing Tulksy get a lot of praise but finally the Canes make a big swing and it could really blow up in their face. People were applauding him for not giving up a 1st rounder in either the Guentzel or Rants deal but forget that they gave up a top 10 league scorer instead.

I know there were different cap implications this year but FWIW I thought Guentzel was a better fit for them and a bigger fumble, considering the cap savings between him and Rants. Who knows though, maybe there was no way he was signing there either.
