Something surrounding Stankoven and Bichsel would be excellent, too. Not as proven but they're both really talented youngsters.

Probably Stankoven but Rantanen gonna come with extention.
bringing up Wyatt Johnston here is laughable wishful thinking lmao

McDavid watching Edmonton overpay for a depth d-man while the rest of the West goes all in.
Even before the last couple weeks, the top 5 cup contenders were always Florida, Tampa, Dallas, Colorado, Vegas. The first 4 all just said hold my beer, I'd imagine Vegas is next up.
The east was always filled with pretenders north of the state of Florida

I'll go with something along the lines of Marchment, Stankoven, and a pick.

Can’t see this given Heiskanen isn’t healthy but never say never.

It's gotta be Bourque and/or Stankoven.
Johnston or Harley...no way.
My guess is Tulsky looked at his team and felt they were not going to win the Cup without a real #2 C. He then did not want to pay the huge price for Nelson and ultimately decided they could not take the risk of losing Rantanen for nothing when they aren't a true Cup contender without that #2 C.

I just don't get this from Carolina's view. Why wouldn't you make sure the guy wants to play for you long term when you give up a very good player to get him? Way too big a risk if they didn't get to talk to him before the trade. To me at this point, just keep him and hope he gets going and helps your playoff run. Dallas or another not likely to give them something really amazing that equals him right now anyways.
Yea, they need more D not less. As scary as that forward group is, a D core with both Dumba and Ceci is equally scary.. for the wrong reasons
Who doesn’t play the right side… so now the Oilers have to force a left d who isn’t good on his left to his right. None of Ekholm, Nurse, Kulak and Walman should be on their left side.

The caterwauling is insane as far as the hockey world is considered when it comes to the Hurricanes. Necas only had one more season of team control and rumors were flying for years that he wanted to play elsewhere. The Canes made the best out of a difficult conundrum.

If the Stars would add Rantanen to their current squad and Seguin comes back for the playoffs, as it stands they would have a 2nd line caliber talent for the 4th line, lol
I know something is going back so it's not going to be like that, but there's certainly players to pick from for Carolina.
My guess is Granlund has to pack his bags again, he played C for the Sharks and the Canes really need a 2nd line center. And they get either Stankoven or Bourque as compensation for the gap in these rentals.

Thatd be a tough draw for Marchment, downgrading from Florida to Dallas just before Florida won the cup, then downgrading to Carolina when Dallas has their best roster yet
I really don’t see why Carolina would trace him unless they’re getting a legit difference maker back. I know Dallas wouldn’t give up Robertson and obviously not Hintz or Johnston but what else would really interest Carolina that Dallas would be ok departing with? Also Dallas can’t afford to resign Rantanen unless they get rid of one of their young players due for a contract or find a way to dump Seguin but he probably has trade protection and trying to get a team to take him at 9.85M for 2 more years wouldn’t be easy.
