Roster Building XXV: Winning Rantanen's Undying Love

[Oogie Boogie]

Marner for Rantanen, both with extensions in place. Do it.

Yeah but will Rantanen want to do it where we won't get screwed is the question, because I'm assuming Toronto will be like the others and not trade for him unless there is a guaranteed signing for him.

I like Cory's retort.....but, it could make sense because both locations offer Rantanen a C that is a better fit for him than Aho/KK, etc.

Cozens anyone? Seems to be available.

Officially to Ottawa for Norris and Bernard-Docker

 

[User13452]

Florida has nothing they won’t deal lundell and Toronto won’t deal knies so if it’s not Dallas I guess he stays

Part of me wants Carolina to say f*** it, offer Rantanen an 8x15, and reset the market. The Canes have the sort of cap space to do such a thing, and I think it would be amazing for the Canes to not be second-fiddle to teams like Vegas/Dallas/Florida/Rangers for free agents.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Boeser could be a nice pickup. Scores goal and has some physicality

SN guys suggested that he is not a "line mover"; then again, MR doesn't appear to be one for us either.

 

[To Be Determined]

f*** we've seen this in this franchises own f***ing history. Kevin Weekes only ended up in New York and New Jersey because his agent flat out didn't f***ing tell him we offered a contract both times.

i remain firm in my belief that nino's agent oversold him on his value, f'd around when we had an offer on the table, and found himself without a seat when the music stopped. then took what was available.

So Dreger says Dallas has offered 12 million and won’t go any further and Rantanen camp wants 13 so I guess this isn’t gonna happen unless one of them budges

here's a crazy crazy crazy idea - what is rantanen's value, extended at 13 million per, with the canes retaining 1 million per? a million a year isn't much, fixes dallas' concern with upcoming cap needs, and should bump the return. but how much?

Overpay the guy that clearly has no interest in being here? Are you Rutherford?

Only if he actually seemed like he was capable of playing beyond an Andrej Nestrasil level here

I don't think it necessarily that he doesn't want to be here, but rather that people in our organization need bigger d*cks to overtake the Florida and Original 6 wall.

Kypreos says Dallas deal seems likely now

 

[OG]

Hopefully it’s for all their Finns

I was about to take a nap under my desk at work and now I have to stay awake. Wtf.

 

[User13452]

Here we go

 

[OG]

DUNDON is CHEAP!!! Fire Dundon!

 

[Rad ChaLose]

 

[andy500]

If you believe the insiders, we already offered more than that. Weird he just didn't want to be here.

Big mistake not being more sure before trading Necas, but hopefully we get a good deal from Dallas...

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

The return might actually be massive enough to make it worth it, then. That's great news for Carolina.

 

[User13452]

Return has to be pretty good for them to do this imo

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Idiot or savant

 

[chaz4hockey]

wow, that's a big retraction from $14M ask....maybe Canes suggested they would ship him to Siberia if he didn't take the deal or MR just told agent stop with the BS

 

[Buenos Necas]

Alright let's see how well we did on this return. Tulsky seems to have salvaged the best case scenario, expecting a significant return.
