I have a bit of a controversial take: if any trade that the Canes make is conditional on an extension, that means the Canes are not exactly desperate to trade him. They're probably OK with an own-rental if it falls through. I would be, as well. It's not like the Canes don't have a white whale's worth of cap space this offseason.

Ya but it’s clear now he doesn’t wanna be here if he’s willing to talk extension with Dallas so he’s as good as gone after the season. I’d be much more happy to keep him if this team actually played like they’re a true contender but I don’t see it with this d core

I'll give you the Guenztel snafu but how does this trade look bad on Dundon? They offered the man 100millon+ as an OPENING OFFER! Per Weeks they were willing to go up to 13/14 a year. From the sounds of it Mikko's camp never made a counter offer so we don't know that they'd lose him to Dallas for a few million more.

Not making a counter offer is a complete f*** you by Rantanen and his agent

If that's the case, he's not signing here. And we should look to unload him for whatever we can get today. And then have a serious come to Jesus conversation in the front office about the way we operate, because we can't keep doing this shit over and over again.

It’s really on the player at this point to sign a deal all the agent can do is present the offers being made

assuming the agent isn't doing a full-on Freddie Freeman situation.

You guys know how the emo kids make a suicide pact? I say we make a Bojangles pact. If the Canes end up with Crosby, ship out Orlov, or trade for another Finn we all must eat Bojangles for dinner.

I'm sorry I wouldn't be able to make it and I'm fairly certain that I would be in jail for public nudity because my pants will be lost.

Seems like they absolutely have to trade him at this point. I mean I know they don’t “have to”, but were I RBA or the front office, no way I want this guy on my team for the rest of the season and playoffs based on how things have gone since he was acquired.

It’s tough after watching that game last night and I bet that left a bad impression on Tulsky and Dundon watching that effort.

I was willing to write the last couple games off as Rants being in his own head with the deadline looming. But yeah fact if the matter is that he just hasn't really produced here even if he had some really good stretches of play early on. This is entirely on his camp for being unwilling to negotiate and string things on this long, and on Tulsky for making the trade to start with without having an extension in place.

Someone will deal with him, but The avs, canes, and stars are all balking at 14x8 which is what he apparently wants.

Maybe play like you earn it first, Mikko. Prove to us you aren't a product of MacKinnon

If the worst case happens and we don't trade him today and he walks in FA, we will forever regret using our best trade piece in Necas for a rental in a year where we were nowhere near good enough to go all in like that. Pissing away assets is a very poor way to run a franchise, and that is going to be Tulsky's reputation unless he can eventually win a Cup.

No Florida team has the cap for that. Nashville is in the toilet, he will play worse there than here. Dallas offered less than us.

Good luck slick. You'll be lucky to see 10.5x7 if you keep sulking here and walk to ufa.
