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

Damn this is late for a leak

i am guessing Wyatt Johnston, Oettinger, Heiskanen, Harley are not in this deal. I also doubt jason robertson is in this deal either

i doubt it's granlund as they just got him

this leaves any picks, stankoven, bichsel, bourque on the table from an outsiders perspective

should be interesting to see what carolina gets

Could see Dadonov go the other way if they need to make the salary work.

I'm pretty sure he's agreeing with you. But I could be wrong. The 2 firsts from Dallas are easily handed over instead of Robertson.

@M88K I know you are agreeing with me , im sorry that's not what I was trying to say. All I'm saying is since you guy's are the ones who are going to win the trade, can you do the courtesy of finding a good plus to the 2 1sts?

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Looking forward to that Rantanen video montage next year in Carolina.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I never want this team to trade for a rental ever again.

This is the type of thing that will get the Canes clowned on nonstop but in the end DAL & COL will flame out by the 2nd round and Carolina will make their cup run

 

[LeProspector]

Carolina need players, NOW. Not draft picks. It has to be roster players going back, and a good one/ones since you’re dealing Rantanen

I mean...the great Kotkaniemi saga will endure forever

 

[TheFamousFart]

Stank + 2x 1st

Canes can easily still get clowned if he extends in Dallas regardless of the length of run in this upcoming postseason

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

If it's happening it's like Dadonov , younger roster players that aren't the big guns , picks and other prospects. I can't see Stars moving Robo , Hintz , Johnston or Harley . They're the ones carrying the team. Also no defensive roster player going back like Bichsel because we're paper thin on defense and can't afford to lose anyone back there right now.

Keep in mind that Carolina traded Necas for him, and prices have only gone up. Prepare for something that’s going to hurt - Rantanen with an extension is an upgrade on someone good, not a deal on futures.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

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

At least they’re getting a return. If someone’s getting fired it should’ve been for Guentzel last year

What on earth would lead you to that conclusion?

marchment might be headed the other way as part of the deal

makes 4.5 and has 31 in 44 this season and in general is a good 50ish point player for dallas

maybe marchment + picks/stankoven/bourque/bischel?

 

[WPGDEVILS]

No way it’s Robertson or Johnson, Canes don’t have leverage he hasn’t been playing to his standard with Carolina and I don’t think the stars can resign him, I’d guess Dallas best prospects and a contract

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Uuuuuhh.. it's going to be insane to face Mikko, if that happens.

 

[eojsmada]

If this happens...the Colorado-Dallas playoff matchup is going to be insane

Jim Nill does not do big roster disruptions this late in the season. He's been Stars GM for 12 years now and no trade he ever made at the deadline involved big roster changes. If Rantanen is added the return will be dissapointing for the Canes and this only happens because they started to panic .

 

[JKG33]

Uuuuuhh.. it's going to be insane to face Mikko, if that happens.

WCF pls. None of this 1st rd heavyweight BS

 

[The don godfather]

Canes win the deal . Why ? Mikko stank in Carolina. The end.

 

[a mangy Meowth]

So did it actually happen or is this the biggest clickbait I've ever seen Fridge do?

 

[TomKosto]

Said yesterday Robertson for an extended Rantanen makes the most sense for both Dallas and Carolina. Would not be shocked if that is the deal here.

Lmfao not a chance they get a better return that they paid 16hours before the end of the deadline.
