Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread | With Klingberg in the Mix Who Are Our 7D After the Deadline?

[McDNicks17]

Saw another tweet that said Colorado isn't done.

I liked the suggestion that they're flipping something for JT Miller now.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

What the f***

 

[FlameChampion]

Obviously Colorado thought Rantanen didn’t want to sign or wanted too much.

I’ll wait for full details but interesting trade.

[McDNicks17]

Rumours are that Kotkaniemi isn't in the deal and the other roster player going to Colorado is Jack Drury.

 

[Mr Positive]

I almost feel bad for Colorado.

This is the kind of deal the Oilers might have been forced into if the Oilers weren't able to resign Drai.

Can you imagine a deal like Drai for Necas and Kotkaniemi? Holy barf. McDavid would demand a trade

 

[dem]

So... will Necas be playing center?

I have to figure the Av's are about done with Mittelstadt

 

[Messrules11]

Probab

Getting some good picks.
Why not.

I read it as a 3rd round pick and nothing more, plus retaining on Rantanen.

 

[syz]

Ah, not getting out of the Kotkaniemi deal is less of a W for Carolina. Also gives Colorado more room to replace Rantanen.

 

[Oilhawks]

Better be a great return for the Avs. Rantanen is almost Draisaitl level good. Avs are now down to being a 2 man team.

Hard disagree with the bolded

Hmm, I wonder if Colorado is trying to make a push to acquire Sidney Crosby...crazy thought I know...but I didn't have Mikko Rantanen to be traded before trade deadline.

Must have told them he wasn't going to sign. Good on them for getting return. Crazy still.
I don't think Rantanen will be as good in Carolina.

I read it as a 3rd round pick and nothing more, plus retaining on Rantanen.

Jesus
That's brutal

Rantanen is definitely not a Draisaitl though.

He's closer to Podkolzin in 5v5 points than he is Drai so far this year.

 

[FlameChampion]

Wonder how many points Rantanen will put up without MacKinnon and Makar

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Hard disagree with the bolded

He doesn't drive play like Leon imo.

 

[McHelpus]

I firmly believe the Oilers beating the Avs after coming back from 3-0 is the reason for this

 

[McDNicks17]

 

[oXo Cube]

Fun fact Rantanen has 29 career empty net goals, good for slightly more than 10% of his career 287.

 

[TheSuperElite]

We spent $1.75M in cap on this player, plus directed the time and effort our pro scouting, management, and presumably medical staff for... no clear high upside. It's a total waste of resources if the player ends up only a bottom pairing defender.

you don't like the signing because you're worried about how we're allocating our medical staff's resources??? brother..

 

[Paralyzer]

Holy f***...this is just ridiculously juicy. I hope we get in on the craziness somehow...obviously not TOO crazy

 

[Sanchez]

 

[McTonyBrar]

COLORADO f***ED UP BIG TIME

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Well that escalated quickly

 

[McDNicks17]

Yup. He's got 13 points on empty nets this year alone.

His 5v5 production is pretty meh.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Boy, Bowman is sure going to be surprised by all this activity when he wakes up from his nap after hours of scouring waivers for his next big add.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

I'll lol if they get guentzald
