Confirmed Trade: [DAL/CAR] Mikko Rantanen (signs 8 years, $12M AAV) for Logan Stankoven, c. 2026 1st round, c. 2028 1st round, 2026 3rd round, 2027 3rd round

Borderline fireable offense by Tulsky and how he's handled all of this.

Not if Necas wasn't going to re-sign with the Canes for a reasonable amount. I actually give credit to Tulsky for pivoting to trade Rants, rather than be stubborn and stick to something that wasn't working out.

As much as it’s crazy to me that he didn’t know that he would sign after guentzel.

I appreciate not losing the player for nothing.

Wonder what la is going to do.

I thought mikko would go there.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Longer this drags on the more chance he doesn’t sign. I mean at this point why wouldn’t he go to UFA

Because he can get 8 years if he signs now

Necas was having a great season for them and is under contract till next summer. Saying this deal had anything to do with Necas, seems like a bit of a stretch since they could have moved him this summer and gotten a return that isn't bolting after 10 games while still having Necas for this year's playoffs.

1st , Stankoven , Marchment is my guess

 

[McFlyingV]

Will be interesting to see how Rantanen does in Dallas. He's clearly struggled without Mack and Makar. Dallas is a lot like Carolina. A lot of good players but no superstar. Do they have the players to bring the best out of Rantanen or are we going to continue seeing him struggle?

 

[LemonSauceD]

lmao Carolina

He should do much better. Maybe not Avs level production, he was in the best possible environment to produce in Colorado, but still lethal.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Let's say the Canes make this Rantanen trade, get Stankoven and Bourque out of it, and pivot the deadline to Marchand. Is this forward group still a Cup Contender? I think it is.

Marchand-Aho-Stankoven
Hall-Kotkaniemi-Svechnikov
Martinook-Staal-Jarvis
Robinson-Bourque-Blake

 

[Zbynek]

Rantanen would be absolutely nasty in Dallas.

You would think, but I also didn't foresee him struggling that bad in Carolina. The Stars definitely have a little more offensive firepower, but there's no one on that roster close to Mackinnon or Makar, and Rantanen's value comes in his offence because his defensive game is very poor.

 

[lawrence]

lmao Carolina

they haven't learned yet. Their location is not really popular among players wanting to extend there, Jake Guentzel, Now Rantanen,

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I heard the Canes owner was offering mostly deferred money for the extension. Its a cheap owner move I know all to well about (MLB Washington Nats). Players do not like this and its rare they opt for these contracts.

I think the coach is liked , the organization not so much, mainly because of the owner.

 

[StlBill]

The Canes have almost $50M in cap space this offseason with no major RFAs. This proposed trade has nothing to do with Carolina's ability to pay.

Very respected former NHL’er I know says that Tom Dundon is viewed very poorly “actually a clown” by a lot of the hockey community. I think there may be something to not wanting to extend with that franchise

 

[unicornpig]

if stankoven is the centerpiece. carolina got bent over

 

[User13452]

if stankoven is the centerpiece. carolina got bent over

A lot of people said the same thing when Colorado made the trade but doesn’t look so bad now

 

[lawrence]

if stankoven is the centerpiece. carolina got bent over

its that, or lost him for absolutely nothing.

 

[Grigowski]

To sum up:

Carolina traded Necas (signed for another year), Drury, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, Rantanen for Stankoven, Dallas 1st and maybe Marchment.

Tulsky better have a hell of a TDL today because right now, imho, he looks like a fool....

 

[Scoresberg]

This whole situation is a massive blunder by the Canes.

It’s gonna be more then just stankoven and a first if there’s a extension

 

[M88K]

This is brutal

nobody knows the return yet, if the trade is even going to happen

 

[Mirinho]

Yes i know, but it'll be something like that I'd say ... and that's crazy

 

[canuckslover10]

Was this a master move by Tulsky to trade a signed Rantanen? because there is no way Necas returns you Stankoven lol.
