Rantanen vs Necas points race to end of season.

[Coffey]

Absolutely showing how much Rants was a Mackinnon merchant.

That assist was pretty ridiculous. Threw it right between Georgiev's legs for an empty net goal from Drouin:



Beautiful passing play

Probably just me being pedantic but why is the thumbnail of Drouin wearing an away jersey when it was an Avs home game and, sure enough, they were wearing burgundy?

Maybe. But I want to say there must have been with something with the thought that Rantanen really didn't want to play for the Canes. Especially his last game as a Cane he was super bad and looked unmotivated. Maybe the trade to Dallas is what he needed.

So the real race here is between Drury and Mikko

 

[Ozakar]

So to summarize:

Rantanen for Avs 2024/2025 season
49 games played
25 goals (0.51 gpg)
39 assists (0.80 apg)
64 points (1.31 ppg)

Rantanen for Canes 2024/2025 season
13 games played
2 goals (0.15 gpg)
4 assists (0.31 apg)
6 points (0.46 ppg)

Necas for Canes 2024/2025 season
49 games played
16 goals (0.33 gpg)
39 assists (0.80 apg)
55 points (1.12 ppg)

Necas for Avs 2024/2025 season (ongoing)
14 games played
5 goals (0.36 gpg)
10 assists (0.71 apg)
15 points (1.07 ppg)

Now a brief comparison:

Rantanen for Canes/Necas for Canes (per game)
Goals: 0.45 (55 % reduction in goals)
Assists: 0.39 (71 % reduction in assists)
Points: 0.41 (59 % reduction in points)

Necas for Avs/Rantanen for Avs (per game)
Goals: 0.71 (29 % reduction in goals)
Assists: 0.89 (11 % reduction in assists)
Points: 0.82 (18 % reduction in points)

It’s fair to say Canes have done a big down grade. Rantanen simply haven’t managed to produce at the rate Necas did for Canes. Now they trade Rants for 5’8” Stankoven and (late round?) first round picks. This will really hurt the Canes. Did Rants even want to go to Canes? You almost get the feeling he intentionally played bad to get a trade. His drop in points production is just massive.

Avs may have done a slight downgrade short term, especially on goal scoring, but it’s noticeable however that Necas have already improved his goalscoring (gpg) after only playing 14 games for Avs. It may very well be that Avs will do just fine without Rants.

True, he may have felt very betrayed.
Let's see how he does when entering a team on a positive note.

Rantanen mentally weak confirmed

 

[Coffey]

Rantanen mentally weak confirmed

Would have fit in perfectly with the Oilers then.

 

[DeathSniper]

Hold up guys. Rants has to make a pit stop and change his tires and oil. Hope he works out for Dallas

 

[elmaco]

Apparently Rantanen decided hes not staying a month ago already, explains the lackluster play.

 

[Ncit3]

Still like Necas better. Gonna be funny watching him fall down a ton in Dallas.

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Much better team to play with for Rantanen, i expect higher production than in Betonlina Windblockers.

Possibly but I think it was more of the style that Carolina played versus Colorado

That’s a long post to confirm that a guy who is just standing around waiting for his contract to expire will score less than the one playing with the highest scoring F and highest scoring D in the league.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Are we going to add StankOnYa?

 

[behemolari]

should we reset Rantanen counter?

No I don’t think rants was bombing it. His metrics was fine his point production though took a hit

 

[piqued]

Worth pointing out that Colorado and Dallas are both rush offenses while Carolina is as far away from that as you can get with pure offensive zone cycle/possession/shot volume.

Can't wait for his first Dallas game.

 

[Czechboy]

My hunch says rants point total about to go up.

I will say though.. a lot of blame is on the canes system. Necas was .ppg in same system and led NHL in scoring for a week or so in that system.

As an Oiler fan.. I expect Dallas to tear shit up. If they meet avs.. that will be a bloodbath. And this thread will be fun as well. Imagine a direct head to head playoff scenario!?? I would geek the f*** out lol

 

[Valushkin]

I think this thread is irrelevant now. Need to start a Rantanen vs Stankoven point race

 

[benfranklin]

Stars looking like a loss in Rants game 1. He has a pp point though.

 

[CashMash]

Now, it might get more interesting... I hope. Lol.

Necas will definitely still win the end of season race, but maybe Rantanen can retake the season total? We'll see!

 

[Czechboy]

Necas with 1 point in a 7-4 win???lol

 

[twostroke2023]

Necas with 1 point in a 7-4 win???lol

Honestly that top line was trash most of the game save Mack’s ppgwg
