Nobody is giving away two players like that for a rental.Big oof if that's all it takes. I'd expect something more like:
Quinton Byfield
Brandt Clarke
Mikko Rantanen
Jaden Chatfield
Rumor: Hurricanes could look to flip Rantanen if he doesn’t extend by the deadline

Talking to some people somewhat in the know here (Winnipeg), a deal around Ehlers + 1st (and a minor plus) for Rantanen is something the Jets are trying to get done. Gets Carolina a replacement player and some futures.
Personally I don't see it since I doubt Rantanen re-signs here, but if Ehlers walks anyway thats at least a nice playoff upgrade

i was moreso referring to the past two times that the Hurricanes have faced the Rangers. Do I really think they make it in? Sure because the east is horrific this season.

Why would they give up a 1st? Ehlers should be plenty enough, along with some lesser pick. Carolina should be thrilled if Ehlers is on the table, because I doubt they will get an offer with another player of that caliber.

Wonder if this is just about getting the most money for Rantanen or he does not think that the Canes are a good fit for him long term? But outside of the Avs, is there really any team he would know he is a better fit for?
I am pretty sure teams will be happy to hand over assets to the Canes if they know that he will be willing to sign long term there. That could be the best case scenario for both the Canes and Rantanen. However, if this is just about money, it sucks for the Canes.

For a few months who cares where you play if you go on a playoff run looking good. Cash elsewhere.

There is no universe where a 45 point player like Byfield is worth more than Rantanen. I don't care about age or contract.

We can agree to disagree. 55 points last year. 48 pace right now.

Yeah, Rantanen is a playoff beast while Ehlers has been, let's just say, snake bitten in the playoffs.
They are; it's been widely reported Carolina made an 8 year offer over $100M total (at least $12.5 AAV). The question is whether Rantanen is ready to commit to 8 years in Raleigh after such a short time here.

true longterm, but not so big a gap if they are both valued as strict rentals and both teams are losing the player they trade this summer.
if the jets know they have lost ehlers it makes sense with an add from the jet and the canes can take a crack at him and try and salvage something. anything.
How so? They're basically the same age, one player is a game breaker that can carry a line, the other is a 2nd line passenger. There's still a gap in value even if it's just for a playoff run
Just trade him for some picks. Give a first and a 4th to us for Zucker. You replaced his production and still get a great rental to go for the cup.
Hmmmm. I’d a
Rants has not displayed he can drive a line since being away from Mac and Cale.
Ehlers drives the second line completely.
Playoffs are a different story, regardless your description is pretty inaccurate.
That being said Rants is still >> Ehlers. I think 2 arrows is the right number.
Hmmm, I’d actually say we have proof of the opposite.

right. he needs more time to decide about raleigh or he'll have no choice but to move on to another city without ever living in it for 5 minutes. nothing personal to raleigh. great city. he just has not had enough time to get used to the place.
Rantanen could carry a 2nd line in Colorado when Mac was on the other line. I could see the Jets keeping the top line together and putting Perfetti and Rantanen together on line 2.
Ehlers also hasn't done anything in the playoffs, thats where the real upgrade is

the value of the gap between rantenan and ehlers both signed to reasonable deals for 5 years is bigger than the value between them both as 3 month rentals valued with no expectation of re-signing.

Wouldn't Rantanen still gets the most money if Carolina offers anything near market value, just due to the extra (8th) year? If the Canes offer $12m per for 8 seasons, that's $96m, so for another team to match that in 7 years, they would have to offer something close to $14m per for 7 years.
The Canes had reportedly already offered $100m, so for another team to beat it they will have to offer over $14.2m, that's a lot especially since Rantanen hasn't been as productive away from MacK and Makar.

his point totals are pretty disappointing, I wonder how much MacKinnon effected his game. he's suppose to be one of the best players in the league isnt he
