With who?

Oha

 

[North Cole]

I'm just going to track how the points race ends between these 2. They both have 32 games left.

Right now it is (updated after games)

Rants 3gp - 1G, !A
Necas 4gp - 1G, 4A

Damn. Dude has a factorial number of assists. Is that a new league record?

 

[Czechboy]

The race rages on today as Necas plays again.. against the Flyers.

Rants 4gp, 1G, 1A
Necas 4gp, 1G 4A

Necas is still very comfortably holding the plus/minus lead as well.lol

-3 for Necas
+2 for Rantanen

So Necas is winning at golf but losing at hockey in the coveted +/- battle.lol

Pasta is on fire and Necas has everything playing for him to produce alot of points too. Pasta is Hart material because what is he doing for last 3 years with Boston is something unbelievable, they would be cooked without him. Pasta is best winger in the world and it´s not even close, he can carry his team on his own. It would be so cool to have 2 Czechs in top 10 of point leaders of NHL.

Rantanen has played better than the stats show imo. I think same could be said about Necas. Will take a bit longer for Rantanen to adjust but easily could say the trade was good for both teams.

Are you now a Cane's fan? Aho and Rants on same team must be a dream. I was dying for Necas to go to Bruins for the same reason. Although, I'm not minding watching Avs games a lot more now.. they are fun to watch.

Canes have always been my top team to follow and I guess even more so now. I haven't missed a game since the trade.

Limp Rod Brind´Amor will make defensive player out of Rantanen, whether he likes it or not. I feel sad for every offensive player in Carolina.

 

[Osakahaus]

Marty Necas is the better player and I think that the Hurricanes made a huge mistake trading him away for Rantanen. This is a problem if you're Carolina because you not only lost your most creative playmaker, but you substituted him for a dude who works as a bulldozer. I think Rantanen is gonna leave Carolina if the Hurricanes bottom out in the playoffs.

No one who has watched Rantanen would say his passing is "underrated". He has always been elite at everything offense related. Make no mistake Rantanen is the biggets reason MacKinnon has Hart trophy. Give McDavid Rantanen and no one would win individual trophies outside of him.

you do realize I’m an avs fan who misses like 4 games a year. Right after reading this thread his passing hasn’t been noted as a positive and I merely pointed it out

That guy is a notorious Avs hater, I wouldn't think twice about what he said. He's just going for the easy dunk. Why else would he include that part about Rantanen being the reason why Mack won the hart? lol we all know that's horse shit

Rantanen has regressed, only 0.5ppg since the trade. Colorado clearly dodged a bullet here not signing a 2nd liner to a massive contract.

Agreed. A lot of posters who saw Carolina as winning this trade have no clue how hockey and a cap world work. Carolina gets a rental. If rants does as expected, Carolina is on the hook for his 12 mil plus caphit. If he doesn’t do well, they sign an underperforming rants to a similar caphit or lose him. Avs got a good depth player in drury who is good at face offs as well as necas under contract for 6.5 mil caphit. Sakic recognized the thing that he needed to address the most was depth. He did that and didn’t lose rants for nothing.

The Avs PP has been looking a bit better lately with Necas. Rants has a great one timer on the PP but with the puck on his stick he's always been an iffy PP player. Forces cross seam passes that aren't there constantly.
