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

[BB88]

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?

All the adv stats have said he’s dominated and done a lot better than he did in Colorado this season

So I wouldn’t say exactly he struggled withlut Mack

& his history with Mack injured and still keeping the production suggests the same as well

 

[Grigowski]

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

So Stankoven, 1st and maybe Marchment or Bourque....

I dont see Dallas giving up Wyatt Johnston.

 

[DrunkTurtle]

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

Necas is significantly better than Stankoven though.

 

[OrrNumber4]

To sum up:

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

You can't double-count Rantanen.

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

Too much change to really threaten.

 

[StickShift]

Beyond being a weird series of events for Carolina—this is beginning to feel like a bit of a disaster for Colorado too.

I doubt they had any intention of ever trading Rantanen to their chief Central division rival Dallas. Now they’ll have to go through him each playoffs.

Such a strange trade to begin with. Especially if you believe the original trade with Carolina was predicated on a JT Miller trade that was never approved.

Could see Bischel

To be fair the Hurricanes are an advanced stats machine and have been for many years. I think its probably just an adapting period for him for sure, but he needs to find that elite level production again and soon.

 

[Coffee]

This whole situation is a massive blunder by the Canes.

Unless what? There’s always a “unless..”

What has to be the package from Dallas for this to be considered a Carolina win?

Wyatt or bust

That was just said by many that his underlying numbers were bad.

& with watching Rantanen in Carolina he’s been a scoring chance machine there, Carolina just has been slumping the last few weeks and he has pretty little to show for it

Of course in Colorado there was 10 years of chemistry of everyone knowing where to go and what passes to expect

Also in the beginning I believe like in Doncic trade with LA his heart was a bit broken by the trade, by everything it sounded like he expected to stay and spend his whole career in Colorado and didn’t want to get traded& was given no warning

But I absolutely agree that those excuses work for awhile and all the adv stats are nice but it’s time to get back on the scoring board and be a consisten 90-100 point threat

 

[dez]

So Rantanen wins big in the end, will probably get the term, dollar and low tax bonus.

 

[serp]

Could see Bischel

We can't trade NHL defenseman right now

Wyatt or bust

Thats not happening.

 

[Coffee]

Could this happen within the next two hours ? Is anyone else pulling a nighter ?

Thats not happening.

Agreed

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

You can't include Necas and Rantanen together in this summary when they were traded for each other, dingus. Rantanen was the return for Necas and Drury

 

[Zalos]

Excited for a Dallas/Colorado matchup in the playoffs if this happens!

Did this make sense in your head when you typed it? Delete Rantanen from your equation or put him on both sides.

 

[StlBigFly]

State taxes are real.

The banger of the 1st round.

The Wild could still get 3rd in the central, but I expect it's going to be the Avs.

What?

It’s literally the same thing. The OP isn’t actually wrong in amalgamating the trades.

 

[BB88]

State taxes are real.

That’s not why he’s leaving

It’s about fit and looking at window during that contract

Dallas has all Heiskanen, Harley, Oettinger, Hintz, Robertson either in their early prime or mid prime and Johnston hasn’t even started his

Carolina plays a ”boring” style and have multiple major holes in their lineup. No 2C, Burns cooked, Orlov cooked. Staal at the end of his career.


If he was willing to go to UFA market after the trade and lose 1 year in term it clearly shows you it’s about fit, where to begin to raise family and not about the most amount of money

 

[wunderpanda]

I thought we were friends Carolina

this could be the greatest gift to colorado if rantanen is just a .5 ppg player without mack & makar

 

[Grigowski]

So Rantanen wins big in the end, will probably get the term, dollar and low tax bonus.

He would have won either way....

100 mill from Carolina
or
UFA, every team in the leauge who can making a pitch and big money
or
Dallas and big money and tax bonus....

Did this make sense in your head when you typed it? Delete Rantanen from your equation or put him on both sides.

Yep. They gave up Necas, Drury and the picks for what, 10 Games of Rantanen?. Then they have to gave him away for, rumored Stankoven, 1st and Marchment (?)

Carolina, you and Sota Popinski can call it whatever you want, and i respect your opinion, but this trade-tree doesnt look pretty for them right now.

This is the 2nd year in a row a big UFA they traded for doesnt want to sign with them. They have a very good team, cap space, so whats the deal here?....

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Carolina about to end up with a late first and 2 bottom 6 player for giving away Necas and Rantanen in less than 3 months.

Lmao
