I'm still processing this.

Necas has been my favorite Cane to watch and is a rare talent. I'll miss watching him in OT.

Also tell me Aho has EVER looked happier LOLOLOL:

 

[FinPanda]

Rantanen looks massive next to Aho lmao

 

[Justicebork]

f*** it, I'm ready to bring back Poolparty too.

They got the better player but also are taking a bigger risk, sounds like they could have Pettersson if they wanted him:

 

[Justicebork]

Necas is in his own head right now.

 

[Slapshottothehead]

Can the Canes now Jettison Svech and pieces for a Center?????

 

[MyLuckyPuck]

Canes players all minus lol

I don’t think that would be wise, but I could be wrong?

Probably involved KK, Morrow and/or a 1st rounder.

I'm guessing Tulsky and co. got cold feet over EP due to the downturn in production and not thinking it was worth $11.5M. Had his contract been around like $9.5M I think we pull the trigger there.

All rumours point to Miller being the one to go and have been

Like during yesterday it was mentioned Carolina wasn’t willing to put Necas on the table for Miller

Rants is also more of the type they need/lacked
He brings that physical element with grit on top of elite production. Pettersson has become too much of a surfer

 

[robbieberns]

anything interesting from the Tulsky presser?

 

[behemolari]

recipe of Aho and Rantanen is very high chance to make till the end

 

[Justicebork]

Marty settling in, better shift there

 

[Blueline Bomber]

anything interesting from the Tulsky presser?

Nothing too unexpected. He did say that “Until we have the best 20 players on our team, we’ll always be looking to get better.”

So McDavid, pack your shit. We’re coming for you.

 

[Justicebork]

Tulsky said he thought it might take a while to convince Rantanen to defer $30M of salary until 2035-36 but he's confident they'll get there.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Hot take: I think Colorado got a great piece in Necas, he will be happier and more productive there, and he will love Denver.

 

[Unhinged Finn]

Very high chance of ded goalies is not the recipe to make till the end. It's like space shuttle coming back with damaged heat shield.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Hot take: I think Colorado got a great piece in Necas, he will be happier and more productive there, and he will love Denver.

I don't think that's a hot take. Necas will thrive in a system that will allow him to ignore his defensive responsibilities.

 

[Brock Anton]

With reports that have come out, the more it feels like our interest in Miller was only as a backup plan if the Rantanen talks fell through and/or if Vancouver wouldn't trade Pettersson.

 

[MinJaBen]

Hot take: I think Colorado got a great piece in Necas, he will be happier and more productive there, and he will love Denver.

Counter point: he has seemed to struggle under the pressure of performing during contract years, and this trade basically puts him at the start of a an 18 month contract negotiation. I think he will struggle a bit and then the internal pressure will build, then the comparisons will be made…and he will walk at the end of next year.

All that said, I really like the kid and his game and hope I am wrong.

My guess is that it was Petterson -> Rantanen -> Miller in the cost to acquire, but Van wouldn't come down on EP.

 

[Shocker]

KK going to him and saying "MITÄ MIES?" which is like What's up man? made me laugh, bro was so happy.
