Confirmed with Link: [DAL/CAR] Stars acquire Mikko Rantanen (signed 8x$12m) for Logan Stankoven, 2 1sts, 2 3rds

[Smelling Salt]

It's nice to have an elite EN point merchant like Rantanen. The Stars have been missing one of those

This bum isn’t even at a 2 p/pg pace with the Stars. Definitely overrated and can’t produce without Mackinnon and Makar….

Uhh... we already had Esa Lindell

Carolina: We're a bunch of jerks, deal with it.

*an actual jerk shows up*

Uh, why don't you like us Mr. Mikko? What could we have done to change your mind?

Not surprised at all.

The Stars are the anti-Mavs.

Till they trade Jrob

Till they trade Jrob

Any real fan will know it’s not the same. JRob is no Luka (Johnston, Miro, or Rantanen would be the only ones comparable). Especially if we get a good package for him.

There's probably a component to this as the Mavs send themselves into self-imposed irrelevance.

If we trade JRob, it's going to be a futures heavy package, because of the limited cap space we have. Which means it isn't likely to be a good package.

We don’t need to really trade him until the following year when the cap increases. Then we will have space to acquire a good d man or a couple of younger forwards.

Let’s wait for the playoff run before talking about who is out the door. We might have some new heroes emerge…. or might have some prior disappointments confirmed. But let’s focus on the positive and say you don’t get rid of your Conn Smythe winner.

Vegas begs to differ

Vegas begs to differ

Vegas is probably the only team in the league that would do that, and it was more to do with him being a ufa and asking for iirc 7m
