Roster Building XXV: Winning Rantanen's Undying Love

[Borsig]

Simple you move off Orlov for a good haul today seeing as he’d be the best defenceman available now and teams would want him. You run Slavin Bischel Ghost until Nikishin is here and then you move ghost in the offseason and you’ve got your left side for the next 5 plus years

I'd be ALL about moving orlov at the TDL, but they won't do it. Hell send him to Washington LMAO. IDGAF.

Lol wut?

You're off your Fruit Loops mate

You think Rantaen has been giving it his all? DId you see the game last night?

Jarvis,Blake,stankoven,Bourque,Nadeau that’s a lot of small right handed guys if they were to be getting Stankoven and Bourque

Its probably stank and bish. Maybe marchment as an add. Stank and bish are on LM ELC IIRC.

Necas was asked a question in media scrum after practice and voiced what the majority were saying. I don't think it was out line. The rest of the interview is positive about his friends and times with the Canes..blah blah.

Like I said earlier..some mirrors are needed when the same failures happen over and over. You didn't mention all the near trade misses and why they didn't land either. So, it's everyone else's fault except our owner, GM, coaches, style of play?

When I was a younger working guy I always asked of myself and my teams I managed what did we do right and wrong after every win or loss. Always important to analyze and grow plus learn from successes and failures.

Canes, RBA-Dundon-Tulsky-Borg will need to do same after this “fiasco” and profile players needs better. Tkachuk-Noesen types are only types of fits unless canes style/profile changes. Plus, player leaders of Staal and martinook need to adapt to & welcome creative types and not always hammer home the N/S BS.

Finally, if this trade haul is good we get Necas for young player control and that’s not bad.

I want guys who wanna be here like Hall not interested in keeping Rantanen if he’s already got 1 foot out the door

 

[the halleJOKEL]

i see it is going to be an extremely normal and cool-headed day on the hockey internet

Guys I got a leak of Tulsky's letter to the fans:

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

What a tease.

 

[User13452]

Well we gotta move him now F*** sakes this is not great at all

 

[the halleJOKEL]

snip snap snip snap snip snap

This was illuminating last night.

Today is going to be a turtleneck and fanny pack type of day

Idk if he’s not trying out of shape or doesn’t care but his skating is brutal

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

We are such an unserious organization.

 

[whiskers]

Why Dallas they dont even have 1 top 50 prospect , i sense this will be an awful day , full of Cliff Pu assets
Montreal Canadiens' Ivan Demidov rated No. 1 on Craig Button’s Top 50 NHL-affiliated prospects list | TSN

 

[robbieberns]

Happy that deal is dead, another smaller right handed skill guy with Jarvis and Blake on the team plus Nadeau in the A would’ve been a disaster return.

Canes don’t want prospects they want guys who can step in and play Sunday

 

[The Faulker 27]

Hope the return is decent but based on his time here and watching him in the 4 nations, I’m not gonna cry myself to sleep. I don’t think he fit here regardless. I’m glad they’re pursuing some type of return instead of seeing him walk for nothing.

 

[CandyCanes]

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Should be able to get a Brock Nelson + level return as a rental. Tell him to pack his shit

 

[User13452]

I bet it gets done dreger just seems to like to try and clown on Carolina when he gets a chance

 

[A Star is Burns]

Probably best not to live and die by every update on this one.

 

[HisIceness]

We should have kept Guentzel.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Exactly. It's becoming a theme of high profile players just not wanting to be here. We trade for Rantanen and he mopes around and never gives us a shot? And we say Guentzel wanted to be here, but he's not wearing our jersey right now. Trocheck couldn't get out of here fast enough. Pesce didn't return our calls.

At the end of the day, maybe the problem really is our front office, owner or coach.

Pesce's doesn't belong on this list. We basically ignored him until all the other plans went kaput, kind of hard to blame the guy for going elsewhere. Especially for more money. It's not like he was playing with one foot out the door for his last year.

 

[The Faulker 27]

We should have kept Guentzel.

Guentzel situation sort of sucks. I really liked him, but I think the silver lining is maybe the org learned a thing or 2 from that situation.

 

[CandyCanes]

Probably best not to live and die by every update on this one.

Best case scenario is still out there guys, don’t give up hope yet. Rantanen can still go on to win the Conn Smythe in Carolina after defeating the Colorado Avalanche in the Stanley Cup Finals.
