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

[Soli]

So far it sounds like we've got:

To Carolina: Rantanen and Hall

To Colorado: Necas

To Chicago: ?

lol

 

[Paralyzer]

lol

Probably from the Oilers for tampering Chicago for Stan Bowman. Count on it.

 

[McDNicks17]

The Hall part still seems so odd.

Trade a center for a winger, so you trade for another winger?

 

[dem]

I gotta say..

Colorado is fn nuts to trade Rantanen for Necas

Should have just paid the man.

 

[McShogun99]

This trade makes it that much more important to finish 1st in the division. The Avs are now a 1 line team without Rantanen, Minny is severely hampered by their cap penalties and Vancouver, Calgary and STL would just be happy to squeeze into the 8th spot.

[Paralyzer]

SUCK IT VANCOUVER. No one wants your sloppy seconds

 

[McDoused]

Holy shit. Rantanen to the Canes.

 

[McDNicks17]

Oh wow.

 

[Tarus]

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.

 

[North]

What is Colorado thinking?

 

[TB12]

No need. Our stars like it here.

This. I wouldn't want the Oil to do something this reckless/stupid with our stars.

 

[McDNicks17]

Seems odd for Carolina. Trade for a winger and trade every guy on your team that can/has played #2C for you.

They should have just paid him

 

[McDNicks17]

 

[OilerTyler]

That seems like a lot for a third round pick.

 

[syz]

MacKinnon must be pissssssed.

 

[Tarus]

Maybe

Rumors were he wanted 14 mill, I can see why the hesitated on that. He's a great player, but he's not on Drai's level.

 

[Messrules11]

What is Chicago doing? I know this deal isn’t finalized but it sounds like the Hawks have lost their mind

 

[Paralyzer]

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.

 

[McSpecial DraiBlend]

Probab

Getting some good picks.
Why not.

 

[McHelpus]

This is stuff that pisses me off, nobody would ever help the Oilers like that.

 

[LevelingSolo]

I don't see how this helps Colorado at all

 

[Shanahanigans]

Unless Colorado is setting up another trade, like acquiring Crosby, this seems like a pretty bad move on their part.

 

[Mr Positive]

Crosby is going to retire having only played as a Pen

It seems pretty clear that the only plan Colorado had here was to avoid paying Rantanen what he wanted. I don't think the Avs are going to be a problem in the west
