Confirmed Trade: [DAL/CAR] Mikko Rantanen (signs 8 years, $12M AAV) for Logan Stankoven, c. 2026 1st round, c. 2028 1st round, 2026 3rd round, 2027 3rd round

Dallas just made too much sense. Sakic must be pissed, there's a reason he traded him out of conference.

 

[pb1300]

Yeah because in Carolina and Colorado do spot Rantanen everywhere he goes . Let's be honest now

Oh boohoo. There are ways to work around the tax issue, just like Matthews has in Toronto. It’s funny how this was NEVER brought up when the Panthers were irrelevant for 20 years. Or when the Lightning were bad. It’s not taxes fault as to why a player would rather play in Florida than Montreal or Edmonton.

Players can no longer play where they would prefer, as taxes is always at the forefront if they choose certain cities. God forbid a player wants to play for an organization like the Panthers, who are one of the best run teams in the league, with all the best amenities and great weather. The nerve of them.

 

[Schennanigans]

I don’t know how you stop Dallas with that team. God damn they are stacked

 

[Mestaruus]

Dallas Finns:

Granlund
Hintz
Heiskanen
Lindell
Rantanen?
Hemming
Hyry

Sending Dallas Stars to the Olympics next year. First NHL team to win Olympic Gold?

Is that defence really that good though?

 

[5cotland]

Where was the mention of Stankoven as part of the deal?

 

[Peasy]

Heisk, Harley, Lindell isnt a good top 3?

 

[GKJ]

Rantanen’s 10 games in Carolina gonna look so weird in 10 years.

Him wearing Whalers green is going to be the first response in all the ‘players in wrong jerseys’ threads

Silver lining for this Wild fan

VGK already looks good, and will probably add.

Even with Rantanen(and minus Stank + whatever else it ends up being) I don’t think Dallas is any more stacked or looking any more unstoppable than FLA, COL, VGK, or EDM in a potential 7 game series. TB might be close to being in that discussion as well.

[sd1976]

Let's say the Canes make this Rantanen trade, get Stankoven and Bourque out of it, and pivot the deadline to Marchand. Is this forward group still a Cup Contender? I think it is.

Marchand-Aho-Stankoven
Hall-Kotkaniemi-Svechnikov
Martinook-Staal-Jarvis
Robinson-Bourque-Blake

Yuck

What?

It’s literally the same thing. The OP isn’t actually wrong in amalgamating the trades.

lol, yes he is. You speak to the players you started with and the end result. The middle that you no longer have is irrelevant and actually muddies the waters

 

[Tbaybruin]

God damn it. f*** you Dallas

Not His fault

I don’t know how you stop Dallas with that team. God damn they are stacked

Praise the Lord

Hope for my Canes the return is good.

I like Dallas hope for them Rantanen actually looks like a NHLer because his games in Raleigh and the 4N turney didn't. And last night he may have been the worst player on the ice in either team.

Watched a bit of the Canes game last night and Rantanen seemed like he was dogging it the whole game. He was down right awful and lazy.

 

[BB88]

He’s signing in Dallas because his take home pay will be about 12 % higher which will end up being more than 10 million dollars.


It’s entirely about the money and you’re being delusional imo to deny it. Weave whatever narrative you want.

No it isn’t

If he was willing to go to UFA market and sign for 7 years instead of 8 years he’s not making up that money….

Carolina was willing to give him 8x 13+, he wasn’t getting that money from UFA market but keep being delusional all you want

 

[BringTheReign]

Dallas' defense still ain't championship caliber, but it might not matter if they add Rantanen on top of Granlund.

 

[Derailed75]

Watched a bit of the Canes game last night and Rantanen seemed like he was dogging it the whole game. He was down right awful and lazy.

Was definitely his worst game but his best wasn't a whole lot better. He had a game where he was first star but it was a token gesture because he scored his first goal.

 

[Zbynek]

It just feels like Rantanen was never Hurricane material from the get go.

 

[Peasy]

So first they lose Guentzel because they were low balling him and now they do the same with Rant

 

[Zirakzigil]

That aint a no state tax discount Timmy

 

[SnS]

???? Between 12 and 12.5 is around 100 million. He just didn’t want to be in Raleigh.
