Roster Building XXV: Winning Rantanen's Undying Love

[whiskers]

too bad Karlsson still has too many yrs for pits to pay half his salary , love to see him on our pp and play with slavin ,

 

[TheBigLetowski]

i mean...we gotta do something, right? Maybe they're waiting for the summer to use the picks and just rock with what they have? What kind of message does that send? Maybe the group is actually happy they got diva Rantanen out of the room?

4 1sts to offersheet or move upm

Mikko being interviewed on TSN ... gave some non-answers, but sounds said it came down to both "on and off the ice" and "fit" for not signing with Carolina

Marner offer sheet. 5D chess man.

Also said it was an "easy decision" to sign in Dallas. Ouch.

Man - I was really in the "I don't care department" but those quotes kinda chap my ass.

 

[Stickpucker]

This team probably didn’t have enough on the roster to win even if it had a firing Rantanen. Boeser, Rakell, Peterka, none of them really move the needle whatsoever. Why burn assets when they should double down and acquire them?

Peterka is a 23 yr old rfa.

 

[FreshSeabass]

15 minutes. Looks like were WLOGing this piece

 

[moses malone 12]

I don't get it but there is something that creates a less than ideal picture of this team and organization. the coach, players, atmosphere, facilities, commitment to winning are all positives. Dundon needs to reflect a bit and figure out source of this negative perception is. the whole Dallas versus Carolina argument doesn't add up to me.

If we end the day thinking Stillman is a solid 7D option going, the ownership group has given up in a year where the east is still wide open. Tail between their legs.

Or Jost is a 4c

 

[Buenos Necas]

Give me a Peterka and Dobson pls and TY.

Curious what happened with the potential Peterka to NYR deal that fell through yesterday. He's someone I would've dealt Necas for last summer.

 

[Rick Davis]

I’m totally OK with the return if it’s Stanky and 2 firsts. Only question is do you flip the firsts now or wait till the summer? Personally I would wait for the summer and just kinda write this season off and concentrate on retooling in the summer for long term success…

 

[User13452]

Man if we’re writing off this season Orlov shouldn’t be here last 3pm let’s be serious

 

[Chan790]

I'm certainly in the minority, but I don't consider using the picks to improve this team.

This one ain't got the juice. We've got more holes than Swiss cheese.

 

[dogbazinho]

I'd say we should always be looking to improve the team for the medium and long term. Skjei was the ideal deadline move and we should be approaching every deadline similar. (i think he was deadline)

His GF didn’t like Crabtree Valley mall and the nightlife on Glenwood

I read “diva” when I read “my camp”

 

[To Be Determined]

i know it is petty, but it is annoying the shit out of me that (at least the last time is saw the trade rotate through) tsn is still showing it as rantanen for stank and 2 firsts. add the two thirds, dammit. they aren't much on their own, but they have value.

As valid as this may be, it’s still a blown year in the contention window where you’re probably finishing second in the division. If the team has glaring holes, someone blew this one. It’s pretty inexcusable. Hold em accountable.

Aho turns 28 this offseason. You’re losing two top 4 D. Better be a monster f***ing re-tool.

 

[User13452]

Ya we ain’t getting anything else

 

[User13452]

Maybe???

 

[Rad ChaLose]

Maybe???

Trade hasn’t been officially announced right? Maybe something else in the works
