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

[chaser17]

Feel bad for Carolina, he's gonna test free agency so kinda gotta trade him to save face here.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

There’s basically no way VGK does not acquire him

I would actually be surprised if they don’t

LeBrun on a podcast:

In his opinion, 2 most likely options for Rantanen are:

1. Traded to Dallas
2. Stays in Carolina

What pressure is on him exactly? "Oh you don't want to be here long term so we'll trade you?"

Don't threaten him with a good time..

To sign before the deadline.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

The Canes can keep him, use him for their playoff run and if he still doesn't want to stay they can recoup some assets by being able to give that extra year on a deal getting them a little bit back

 

[JKG33]

To sign before the deadline.

Yes but what's applying the pressure? Like with EP last year, it was "sign or we'll trade you to Carolina." What're threatening Rantanen with to apply the pressure?

Wonder if Carolina is interested in Petterson plus something else and Canucks sign Rantanen.

You would be surprised how many people want to get to places that are as nice as possible for the longest amount as possible all while still experiencing all four seasons.

You guys have it a hell of a lot better than places like Florida/Texas.

So Texas- agree. Florida- I miss living there. Yeah, the summer is longer than here but not much more brutal. But November-May was worth it.

Then again maybe I forget how shitty it was to only have July-Aug being the only reliably warm months.
