That's looking to be the greatest mid-season trade in history

People in Colorado gonna start losing jobs if this keeps up

 

[Rebels57]

Rantanen scored or assisted on the last 12 Stars goals.

They should regardless. You dont let a player like him get away from you when he has no desire to leave.

 

[Magua]

“But like I said, when you’re not spending $12 million on a player, or even two like Edmonton does… Colorado has three or four high-end guys. We’re not going to be built that way. So depth will be important to us.”

Rantanen making $12 million. No thanks!

Mark Stone is right up there recently.

Yeah, in terms of assets given away that's significantly better.

edit: older, Ron Francis to Pitt

Didn’t the owners refuse to pay what he was asking?

 

[JojoTheWhale]

Other names I’d prefer as far as midseason deals:

Roy to COL is likely never being beaten.
Thornton to SJ
Eichel to VGK

 

[FLYguy3911]

Thompson and Grant to Philly too.

I don’t think it was owners. I think they made a decision that they could get 80% of the production at 50% of the cost.

Yeah it was reported they were 0.25m off in their offer/ask

 

[Curufinwe]

I was pulling for the Jets but the fan whiteout with their players in dark blue is too stupid to support, and Dallas are much better. Could be a sweep.

 

[Curufinwe]

Rantanen is back into god-mode

You can see why Carolina traded for him. Sucks for them he hated it there/was totally blindsided by the trade.

THIS is your reason?

It's just a stupid gimmick at this point. Was especially hilarious against St. Louis where the entire crowd looked like they were supporting the Blues.

Can teams petition to play their home games in their white jerseys? If not the whiteout makes no sense.

 

[ajgoal]

I love the whiteout. It's not the fans' fault the league decided to swap the home and away sweaters.

Then the team need to ask the league to be allowed to play in white.

It’s as stupid as if a Flyers crowd showed up all in orange with the team in their predominantly white jerseys and the Ducks wearing orange sweaters. There’s a reason no other sport in the world does this.

[DancingPanther]

We're saved.

Anyway, Tocchet is coming

No it isn't

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

We're saved.

Even though I really don't want Tocchet, I didn't want Q even more so. f*** Q.

 

[DancingPanther]

Oh for f***ing sure

Apes together strong. It is the stupidest shit. It can very easily be a blue out

 

[DancingPanther]

Thompson and Grant to Philly too.

Jori

Edit: wait that was in the offseason.

 

[Fire Tocchet]

Gross.
