This is some seriously funny shit.

Pettersson for Crosby, who says no?

Crosby, I doubt he waives his NMC for a team struggling as much as Pittsburgh.

This is amazing.

This guy was the GM of the Islanders for two months back in 2006, not sure how credible he actually is.

Neil Smith was the GM of the Rangers in 94.

Unless something changes -- and at this point I have absolutely ZERO reason to believe it will -- Sidney Crosby isn't being traded out of Pittsburgh. He's an untouchable as far as the pens are concerned, plus he's got a no-movement clause and no desire to be dealt. - Chris Johnston

Rantanen trade came out of left field. Everytime there’s rumors the trade doesn’t happen lol

Whats a reasonable return for JT if Colorado made an offer?

Avs-Canucks-Pens trade where somehow we get Necas and Marcus Pettersson?

 

[SopelFanThe3rd]

Is it me or is it crazy to trade Rantanen?

 

[I am toxic]

Sometimes I wonder what my life would be if I wasn’t a Canucks fan

 

[M2Beezy]

Starting to agree with those saying hold onto Miller til the offseason when the ask will probably be more than now. No point in trading a player of that quality right now well the offers are garbage. This season seems to not be it for us, let him and Pettersson sulk it out... probably wanna trade other expiring assets tho..

UFA

Avs aren’t winning the Cup and the were not going to re-sign him.

Makes complete sense.

But none thought it would be this early.

 

[Bobby9]

Elliott’s on Sportsnet said the Canes were talking to Van about both JT and EP today so they’re both available

 

[Big zZz]

Yeah

He'll have much more value going into the offseason in a slump or injured.

Gary Mason referring to himself in the 3rd person.

Gary should know better than giving his twitter password to Francesco

otoh, it eliminates the middle man

This will be good for team morale.

bonding moment.

 

[rypper]

Pettersson for Crosby, who says no?

Me. The team isn't a crosby away from doing anything with this D core.

 

[me2]

WTF

Chicago is retaining rantanen

And they only get back their 3rd round pick

That is a dog sh)t return

They are retaining for about 1/3 of the season. He's owed $6m in salary, right$1m cash for a late 3rd. It's not good but it's not dog shit.

I don’t really know what to think of it.

On the one hand, Necas is a big step down from Rantanen and only has one more year left on his deal. And by all accounts, the Canes didn’t sign him long term because he was asking for the moon. So I don’t really get the trade from the Avs side from that perspective.

On the other hand, Rantanen was asking for Draisaitl, and he really isn’t in the same tier as Drasaitl. And I am thinking that Colorado must feel his stats are largely inflated due to playing with MacKinnon, and so weren’t going to pay him too dollar. But even if this is the case, they could run into this same problem with Necas who they can’t extend until July.
