Speculation: Roster Building Thread : Part XVI (Playoffs or Retool?)

[Mugless]

Weekes teasing Pens. Crosby to Av’s???

For some reason, Weekes tagged Cally in that tweet.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Chicago retaining 50% of rantanens contract plus trading taylor hall and only getting back a 3rd round pick? That seems pretty light

 

[Tob]

Zib for miller back on.

 

[noncents]

Pottery class? Dude, you're kiln me.

the glazing is insane tho

 

[jerseyjinx94]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Necas and Rantanen flipped point totals

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

What the heck I go to one pottery class and all hell breaks loose?

Where’s the invite though

 

[Greg02]

For some reason, Weekes tagged Cally in that tweet.

They were in the studio doing the ESPN game and Cally jokingly asked for some credit for helping break the Rantanen trade.

I don't possess such high tech talents. This is a job for @will1066

Give me some time

 

[lakeshirts37]

I swear if we trade for a 32 year old Miller and give up more than the Canes gave up for Mikko.........

I dont think its even possible

Chicago retaining half of Rantanen but only getting a 3rd for Hall and that retention is nuts…

Hall is so washed but yeah Im surprised they didnt get a late 3rd or 4th in addition

 

[lakeshirts37]

Crosby to Avs

 

[Alluckks]

Rather than this boosting the odds of Miller to the Rangers for a deal that we like, I think those odds stay the same as they were. But rather what is boosted is the odds that the Canucks don't move Miller at all right now because of a stubborn and self-inserting owner.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Shit.

I’d take Hall for a 3rd and retain half of this sandwich?

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

First person to put Mika and kreids into that gif I will legitimately Venmo you $5

Please don’t ban or infraction me it’s just a joke

 

[UnparalledPark]

So you're telling me the Islanders sign Tony DeAngelo which forced the Avs to panic-trade Rantanen?

Once Tony D was off the table, Carolina was forced to go after the next best player available.

"Trade official: Colorado trades Mikko Rantanen to Chicago in return for UDC Nils JuntorpChicago trades Mikko Rantanen (50% retained) and Taylor Hall to Carolina in return for Chicago’s own 2025 3rd round draft pickCarolina trades Martin Necas, Jack Drury, Carolina’s own 2025 2nd round draft pick, and Carolina’s own 2026 4th round draft pick for UDC Nils Juntorp"

Nils Juntorp is one of the hottest commodities in the NHL right now

Feels a little like this is the first very large domino to begin knocking down progressively smaller ones.

It's glorious. PM me the venmo info and $5 is all yours

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

I don’t think we are going to win anything this year anyway. The whole point is to transition to a new core, we need to move Kreider, zibs, lindy and bring in the right type of guys.

 

[Boris Zubov]

I would hold out for Will's version.

We say that every year. And then nothing until deadline…if anything lol!!! Tempering my excitement

 

[McRanger92]

I think Drury is playing this well.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Deals a deal. Will does these for free out of the goodness of his heart

 

[AirGut]

Jack Drury involved in a trade? You just know Chris is ready to fire.
We're at COCKED PISTOL

 

[Guyute]

He’s going to play with Aho and Svechnikov. That line is going to COOK

Maybe. But trading Necas puts the pressure on Carolina to re-sign Rantanen much like trading for Trouba put pressure on NYR to re-sign him.

That line better cook if it’s going to cost Carolina $14 million in cap space to extend Rantanen.

 

[Alluckks]

I think Drury is playing this well.

Honestly, you can look at Vancouver as to how bad it could have been keeping a locker room malcontent for longer than you should.
