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

First round bust isn’t going to leak the trade, is he?

Auston Matthews? He’s probably asleep.

 

[JKG33]

Yup. Vancouver faced a much tougher situation with JT and a full NMC and got Chytil, Marcus Pettersson, Mancini O'Connor while dumping three contracts.
Then immediately re-signed both UFA's, that's making the best out of a shit situation!

Vancouver could've handled their tough situation last year by getting Necas+ for EP. They don't get a free pass for being stupid and letting the Miller situation get outta hand and losing the better player for pennies on the dollar

 

[hangman005]

Dallas, Colorado and Vegas are the trash

Well the first two anyway

 

[Reality Czech]

And you’re just stuck with the Binner

Happy to have him.

man they can't tease us like this and then not announce the trade till tmrw, that would be just foul

Yeah just drops 2 mysterious tweets and then radio silence. I'm going to bed!

 

[WPGDEVILS]

Yeah i wouldn't either, but IMO the Canes are dumb for doing anything less. Looks like its Stank+. Not good for the Canes if ya ask me.

Stank is a promising young player, fits in with the Jarvis timeline, I think Canes started panicking when Rants did not mesh with the core.

Dallas was never gonna move a core piece and make the canes better, no contender would

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Because when everyone on this board is overwhelmingly riding the move one team made, it often turns out the opposite of how most people anticipate.

Kind of like when the Avs were being clowned on for trading Rantanen, and Carolina immediately became the favorite in the East

That's because 80% of the league didn't know who Necas was, he was the perfect linemate for MacK if you watched a single second of a Canes game this year

anyone saying johnston or harley in return you are stupid and need to watch more hockey

Would have been possible maybe 20 weeks ago (with extension), not 12h before deadline. Canes have no leverage at all.

Still gives me hope it falls through

Bischel too. Not cause hes on the level of those two, but because of how thin Dallas is on D even when healthy

Lashing out because of your season ending today?

This witty guy is not the Avs fan you want to see reply to one of your Avs bashing posts

Canes are not a team that panic-trades. Clearly, if they are trading Rantanen instead of holding him as a rental, they must be getting someone that they really covet.

 

[Soundgarden]

Woah.

If Canes get Stankoven that’s huge

 

[BleedBlue14]

Im expecting either Johnston or Robertson. Anything less or along the lines of Stankoven/Bourque+1sts simply isn't enough IMO if you're Carolina still trying to contend and make a playoff run.

Why would Dallas do that? Carolina has 0 leverage in this situation with how this has played out.

 

[SI90]

There's one other time where this happened: Thomas Vanek.

Sebastian Colberg!! Isles legend!!

 

[thefutures]

Stank would be a sweet piece to walk away with after everything for Carolina

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Blues

 

[JKG33]

He's actually pretty small

..ok, ill see myself out

 

[eojsmada]

If Canes get Stankoven that’s huge

I honestly think he will do really well in Carolina.

 

[BKarchitect]

Damn it. Not happy seeing Moose back on a Central rival. Fughhhh.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

The 2025 Rantanen trade tree is going to be wild.
