Confirmed with Link: [Col/Chi/Car] Rantanen (50% by Chicago), Hall, Nils Juntorp to Car - Drury, Necas, 2nd, 4th to Avs, 3rd round pick to Chicago

Well. We got rid of KK.

Not sure about the whole Rants as a rental for Necas part….

Rants will be more consistent than Necas and presumably have much better chemistry with everyone.

Drury is our 2C….feels like something might still need to happen if we’re making this run with Rants. I can’t see Drury being the game plan after an “all in” move like this.
Never mind….KK is our path to greatness still. I could see us staying there because we might double down on the KK plan.
 
Honestly I'm looking at this wondering how the hell we ended up coming away looking like we fleeced the shit out of 2 teams at once

on espn now seems like the deal is "officially:"

Avs receive:
- Necas
- Drury

Hawks receive:
- 3rd round pick
- 50% of Rants salary

Canes receive:
- Rants 50%
- Hall


So did we pretty much just get Hall for free? that 3rd seems like a decent return for 50% on Rants alone...
 
Canes have done a good job on the aho Jarvis Svech deals that they can afford to pay a guy 14 million now and rantanen is that guy

The thing is that the Canes gave up little in the way of futures. Even if Rantanen chooses to go elsewhere, the Canes are going to have an absolute s**t-ton to spend this offseason and no 1st round pick was surrendered in order to make that happen.
 
They finally got the “guy” after missing on Eichel, Tkachuk and Meier (not counting Guentzel). They really don’t have an excuse to not keep the “guy”. I don’t see them making this trade without being reasonably sure they keep Aho’s best bud around.
 
so yeah, right now:

Svech-Aho-Rantanen
Marty-Staal-Jarvis
Hall-KK-Roslovic
ERob-????-Blake
Jaaska

welcome to the show (til Jost is back) Ryan Suzuki?
the wolves actually had suzuki at wing for at least the last couple games. until proven otherwise, i choose to believe that was to see their c depth without him in case he got called up for just such a situation.

We sent a 2nd and 4th to Colorado
that seems more likely but do you have a source? I saw this



What is Rantanen’s play style? I never pay attention to the West even though I live out here now.
big power forward fast capable of literally everything offensively and can score goals in any way. elite player

Just pay him what he wants no need to go searching for someone to replace him again. Only other guy would be marner but I’d prefer rantanen

Elite shooter and puck protection, above average vision and passing, ridiculous patience/poise with the puck. Rarely makes puck mistakes. Impossible to knock over or off the puck. Not really fast. Strong like Staal. They call him Moose and he kind of skates like one.

He’s that 50ft player we’ve talked about. Reasonable defensive effort usually.
