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

[HabsMD97]

you love to see it

 

[Ace]

West is going to be something else in the playoffs.

 

[LeProspector]

Lol he's probably the second most untouchable piece of the organization

Maybe, but is Rantanen an upgrade? Probably.

 

[Rudy Russo]

Regardless the return, someone in Carolina should be fired for this Rantanen fiasco.

Note to Canes front office staff:
Before trading for a "big" name player make sure you come to a contract agreement before the player puts on a Canes jersey.

 

[JKG33]

Would Granlund get traded again? Stankoven+Granlund? Gets Carolina a cheaper rental

 

[MasterMatt25]

If its not Wyatt Johnston, Carolina is f***ed

 

[shello]

As a certified Carolina Hurricanes hater, I love this (I’m expecting this comment to age poorly)

 

[Czechboy]

Please include Blumel! My Oil are losing a trades race right now.lol West is getting unreal!

 

[Boud]

My guess is Wyatt Johnston as the centerpiece

Really?

That would be a very high price to pay. You can probably lock in Johnston at a much more reasonable cap hit and he’s not far off. Rantanen making 13M+ would handcuff Dallas. Johnston probably makes what? 9?

I don’t think I make that trade if I’m Dallas.

I assume it will not be Johnston.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Haha if Johnston is moved out after declining that horrible 8x8 offer that would be a huge fumble by Dallas

 

[TomKosto]

My guess is Wyatt Johnston as the centerpiece

Not a chance, they are not getting a better return than Necas.

 

[Zirakzigil]

If its not Wyatt Johnston, Carolina is f***ed

Dallas wouldnt do that.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Will the Cowboys be making a blockbuster move next? Seems like a trend happening in Dallas

West will be brutal, Rantanen will fit way better in Deboers system

 

[SimpleJack]

If its not Wyatt Johnston, Carolina is f***ed

This

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Wyatt Johnston only makes sense if the Stars and him were miles apart on a deal which didn't sound like at all in recent days.

 

[dez]

Low tax state wins again.

 

[Coffee]

the Central is a bloodbath

How bout now ?

 

[ponder719]

Eric Tulsky, Puckdoku players of the future thank you for your service.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

No f***ing way....

 

[Divine]

The Rantanen to Colorado thread was Carolina wouldn't have gotten him if they didn't know they could extend him even though they did the same thing with Guentzel last year!

Well...they did...again.

 

[Coffee]

are you f***ing kidding me

I hate life

Lol you guys won the Matthews lottery and still have that player. Simmer down.

 

[eojsmada]

BOOM.....Dallas. Love it

 

[leafsfan5]

Dallas has 2 superstar wingers
2 #1 defenseman
like 15 top 9 forwards
a good starting goalie

God damn

 

[LeProspector]

Not a chance, they are not getting a better return than Necas.

They had to give up Drury, too.

If he goes there with an extension, he’s an upgrade on Johnston for sure so I think it isn’t out of the realm of possibility given the prices we’ve seen for lesser pieces

 

[TheBeard]

Maybe Wyatt Johnson because he won't extend?

Did he say he wouldn't? I mean he's an RFA so he's still under team control, and it wouldn't make sense for Dallas to move out their best playoff performer at this juncture.
