This Rantanen stuff is fun. I only wish Carolina hadn't gotten two first round picks and then it would be truly delightful.

They gave up Necas, Drury a 2nd and a 4th to get Rantanen from Colorado.

Traded him to Dallas for two 1sts and 2 3rd round picks.

Brindamour mouths off that he never intended to sign with the Canes but his agent comes back and says not true, it was more about playing style.

So in other words he didn't like playing Brindamour's style of hockey.

As long as this makes the Canes worse and an easier out in the playoffs I say "well done!"

The Bruins - Panthers game has been fun. Good appetizer for the main event at 10pm!

Jarry's back in goal for the Pens. They're up 2-1 over Vegas, 6 seconds left in the game and....

oof. Vegas scores

Zudorab just beat the shit out of Bennett. Bruins come back from 2-0 to win 3-2.

Don't forget Stankoven. While obviously not currently on the level of Rantanen or Necas, he is not an insignificant piece.

I do think this has weakened Carolina a bit, but they'll still be a tough out.

Yeah I did forget Stankoven - I think he will do okay with the Canes, maybe get a look in the top 6 and some PP unit time? He's put up some decent numbers in the CHL and played okay early in season for Dallas
