Rumor: Hurricanes could look to flip Rantanen if he doesn’t extend by the deadline

Ryder, Halak and a 2nd

Opposing offer of Bozak and a 2nd

I don’t think Colorado was concerned with Rantanen’s future once they had that offer for Necas on the table from Carolina.

It was very risky on Carolina’s part to trade for him without some form of commitment for Rantanen to stay there. Maybe they thought having Finnish guys like Aho or Kotkaniemi would help the transition?

Necas had a hot start. But he is in no way near rantanen.

There is no way the Canes are looking to trade him before the TDL. That would make them complete imbeciles and they seem to be a pretty well run team.

Of course Necas is not as good as Rantanen, but he’s pretty good and they have him for one more year at a very affordable $6.5M. With the cap going up, I can see Colorado using some of the money that would’ve gone to Rantanen to add another solid player near the $7M mark.

It’s kind of crazy Carolina didn’t ask for permission to talk to his agent before the trade considering they went through this last year with Guentzel

And how do the Canes look if Rantanen walks on July 1 like Guentzel did last year? Is moron higher or lower on the DSM?

Then they shouldnt have traded for him. Or added in another asset to see about doing a sign and trade, but you dont trade for a guy and flip him if he doesnt sign with you. Have you ever seen that happen before ? Ever ? No, you havent because nobody is stupid enough to do it.

The Canes are a team thats not afraid to go for it and Im sure they just decided to go all in. They will be a team to watch.

Islanders and Vanek in 2014.

Chronically injured goalie for prime 1st line power forward... seems legit.

Rantanen playing like a 1st line power forward for you guys?

 

[Coffee]

Could, but of course won’t.

why not ?

 

[KCC]

I mean, yeah, it's common sense. You have to try and get something for him if he doesn't want to stay. lol.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

The Islanders had the 4th worst points percentage in the league the day of the 2014 deadline. The situations aren’t comparable.

 

[Coffee]

No way they do this

Drury should be in on this
