Out of Town Thread - New Year’s 2025 Edition

Avs lost all their dogs Kadri, Byram, Rantanen, Landeskog(ltir)

0 bite left Drouin & Necas in LaLaland on both Bruins goals.

Close their window now it's over.

I would give Nate some time to bully Necas into being a man

He isn't a big goal scorer though. Rantanen was the big goal scorer for MacKinnon to set up.

I know it's one game and I get Avs didn't want to give Mikko 14 mill, but my God, Drouin and Necas are both periphery-playing cupcakes. Nate and Makar are amazing and it looked like a pp when they were on the ice...hopefully it turns around for them...
as for the B's, lol, just call them the Boston Pastnaks - and whoever is playing with him. Such a garbage team that plays low-event hockey, but hey they get it done. They'll keep patching the holes, but may their descent be long, slow and painful.
I also never ever want to hear a bruins fan bitch about the officiating; two egregious calls missed in the last 4 mins...marchand reverse interference on Colton in front of the ref with the puck nowhere to be seen, and a trip in the offensive zone that was ignored.
ok whining over

Bruins now lead 2-1, Geekie with his 2nd of the period

Won the game with 15 shots on goal.

And Rantanen ain't scoring 50g and 100 pts without Mack and Makar either lol and the Canes have to pay him 14M to keep him, but they'll now be overpaying for 8 years

I'm pleased with the entire outcome on all sides honestly lol

Geezus, Bruins scored 3 goals on 15 shots (1 ENG). Avs lose 3-1.

Stupid Colorado just can't do the trade after this game. It's less than 24h.

Hoping Sloth goes bar down for an ENG tonight and sparks another Mo meltdown

He isn't a big goal scorer though. Rantanen was the big goal scorer for MacKinnon to set up.

Overall it should be a “fun” trade to watch for the next few years

 

[Pickles]

Rumor was KK was part of the Rantanen deal but wasn't included in the deal. Buyer remorse I guess.

I love the trade for Carolina.

But looking back on the past two trade deadlines, why the hell didn't they sign Guentzel?

All things considered Guentzel at 9m per for 7 (maybe carolina could have got him for 8x8??) is a way more valuable asset than Rantanen at 12-14 or whatever he gets.

If they're just renting these players just to lose them in the offseason, thats pretty dumb.

We know which side would have nixed that.

Lebrun posted that the Avs preferred Drury's upside

CH Fans : we can't trade Armia is too important for this team's chemistry
MacFarland : hold my beer

Doubt it's true. Drury is almost half a year older than JK and has not done much so far. They prefered the contract imo.

If they could not sign Rantanen trading him was the right move. But i'm not sure the right trade was made. would not like it if i was an Avs fan.

From Lebrun's article :

Tulsky was thrown into the fire last offseason after taking over as GM for the departed Don Waddell. He had a short runway to get pending unrestricted free agent Jake Guentzel re-signed. There were probably some valuable lessons in that exercise for a first-time GM like Tulsky. The Canes ended up getting to the number that Guentzel’s camp more or less wanted, but it took so long that July 1 was days away and it was too hard for Guentzel to resist talking to other teams. And, well, we know how that ended: with Guentzel’s rights traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning during the draft.

The lesson isn't too difficult to learn, you have no leverage on a UFA player. Doesn't surprise me though, given Carolina's owner.
