Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

[HuGo Sham]

Ooof would’ve preferred KK to Drury. I assume Colorado has something else cooking.
This will force an arms race in the east now. JT Miller to rangers, Boston, NJ …we’ll see

 

[YukonCornelius 5thOA]

Healthy Laine for 9 million or Rantanen for 14M?

 

[Victoire HuGo]

I wish we traded for Rantanen. Would have thought long and hard if ask was Slafkovsky

If he doesn't sign with Carolina (and I don't know why he would) sign him as a UFA.
He isn't a centre though and the Habs don't need 14 mil wingers.

 

[Redux91]

Come onnn Chicago

 

[Skip Bayless]

Crosby to the AVs, I did not expect this friday night.

Not sure what Chicago was doing in that trade.

TB ties it with 40 seconds to go

Hawks are so bad. Soderblom almost stole the game but the team in front of him is absolutely putrid.

 

[Redux91]

Yeah
There is no God lol we *actually* needed that one tonight lol

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

TB ties it with 40 seconds to go

What a surprise. Given a PP late in the game and anothetr one to ensure the win in OT.

 

[gusfring]

What a surprise. Given a PP late in the game.

And in OT

 

[zx81]

What a surprise. Given a PP late in the game.

Easy call though. The Hawks player had his stick stuck in the TB player skate.

 

[Redux91]

Ahhh horses ass!

 

[zx81]

TB wins. That sucks . It seems to me that in the last 2 weeks the EC teams only play the worst WC teams.

Guaranteed it wouldn't always be called.

 

[the valiant effort]

First of all: lol at me thinking this would be a nothing trade when Taylor Hall was the first name

In no universe do I prefer Necas to Rantanen, but would I make this trade? Hell no. This is Jersey falling in love with the Swiss connection. Watch Ranty struggle to float above 1.1 ppg

 

[No More Subban]

Holy crap. Is Rantanen really asking for 14 million? Would love to have him but not for that much

 

[Schooner Guy]

I can't believe the Avs traded Rantanen. I thought for sure they'd re-sign him. Wow!

 

[ottawa]

McDavid (1047 points) passed Henri Richard (1046) with his latest point, he's now 80th overall in all-time rankings.

McDavid (692 assists) also recently passed H. Richard (688) in assists as well for 65th overall.

 

[sampollock]

And fans thought Rantanen would be a UFA

This is a super smart move by Colorado in my opinion. Rantanen’s next contract is going to be paying him for what he’s done the majority of it in my opinion.

 

[Weltschmerz]

It's still possible, or do you think canes will pay him?
