GDT: Flys v canes. 7pm est.

If you can speak for the whole fan base, what’s the general feeling about Rantanen among canes fans?
We love him just about as much as Columbus fans love Jeff Carter. I've never seen a player so talented look so lazy and disinterested. The fact that the team has been absolutely smacking around their opponents since he got traded is not a coincidence.

Genuinely, I hope Stankoven has a better career than Rantanen the rest of the way. The picks can be gravy on top of that.

Sounds reasonable. I feel stupid for not realizing the similarities with CBJ and good ol Jeff

He's looked good so far. Rod is trusting him to play with Staal and Martinook, which is a good sign. A lot of people are freaking out over the optics, but Tulsky did a great job of pivoting once he knew Rantanen wasn't interested in staying. Turning Necas (who is a UFA next offseason), Drury, a 2nd and 4th into Stankoven, Taylor Hall, and two 1sts and 3rds is a win in my books.

In your defense, that was well over a decade ago now. Ancient history as far as hockey is concerned.
