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

Carolina is a pretty soft team. Adding Hall and Rantanen doesn't really add to it. The problem they have is center depth and goaltending. This trade doesn't help those areas.

Oilers fan in Hurricanes territory here...

The Canes are like the Gaudreau / Tkachuk-era Flames. Fully-loaded top line, solid defensive structure, but not a whole lot after that. Just a lot of tweeners who overachieve in the regular season only to flame out in the postseason.

That said, they have absolutely missed Teravainen after he went back to Chicago. Rantanen could be really good for re-energizing Aho.

Kyle Davidson just lapped Barry Trotz for worst GM.

Oh give it time, this race isn't over yet lol

I wonder if Chicago is thinking about an offer sheet this off-season.

I thought that as well, but it'd be 2026 picks as compensation.

 

[belair]

I appreciate how complicated and silly this deal is.

Also Chicago did f***ing horrendous.

Did they? They got a 3rd and I believe they actually saved money.

I mean fair, but also, lolz.

So Jeff Skinner goes home with a 2026 4th round pick for Taylor Hall @50%?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Can we take advantage of one of these GMs?

 

[syz]

Carolina's problem is that they inevitably get beat singlehandedly by a goalie in the playoffs every year. They need to find enough offence to push through that.

Agreed. They don’t really have enough game breakers. Question is how much of a game breaker is Rantanen away from MacKinnon and Makar.

Will be an interesting trade to look back on a few years.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I like this Rantanen trade even more now because it eliminates a trade partner for the Canucks and might diminish whatever return Vancouver gets for Miller/Petersson.

Feels like Miller will go to the Rangers for a garbage return at this point lol

Seems like Carolina was willing to give up Necas, so it’s very good the Canucks weren’t involved.

Now watch Drury do something stupid for Miller, ugh.

Watch it be something like Drury, Mitttlestad, Cal Ritchie and a 2nd for Miller and Desharnais lol

Millers value is in the toilet. He was acting pretty pathetic last game.

Now TJ Pilsner will get traded for an actual 15 pack of pil

Don’t want Colorado getting too strong though

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Don’t want Colorado getting too strong though

Sure, because MacKinnon and Miller will work so well together lol

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Its crazy cause Necas was leading the league in scoring at like game 30 and has gone back to his norm since so who knows what you're getting. I like that this makes them a lot less dangerous good thing to look for in a potential wild spot opponent. Its funny because Mackinnon took his last deal to keep a competitive team and the first chance Rantanen has he prices himself out.

 

[Cloned]

Canucks fans are saying this is a botched trade, basically coming so close to a trade publicly reported then having it fall apart. They’re worried about the effect it will have on the room.

They’re right for once and it’s hilarious.

 

[belair]

I get the feeling that Colorado is going to end up with Brad Marchand at the deadline. Calum Ritchie is a very Boston Bruins-like prospect. And they have a big need at center.

 

[iCanada]

I think we should be trading with the Hawks, based on what we were shown here tonight.

Davison is ripe for a fleecing.

 

[Cloned]

Sure, because MacKinnon and Miller will work so well together lol

At this point I think most players will do better away from the dumpster fire that is the Canucks.

 

[dem]

Big risk trading Rantanen out and hoping another player can come in and replicate that chemistry mid season.

Gotta do what you gotta do I guess.


Crossing my fingers that it blows up in the Avs face!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Sure, because MacKinnon and Miller will work so well together lol

I think they would, because they're both ultra competitive, unlike frail EP.

 

[Louis Cypher]

Rantanen and Hall for a 3rd. Chicago making big moves. LOL

You’re really gonna pretend Rantanen was a Hawk?

You think the Hawks were gonna try to steal him by shutting off the fax machine mid transaction?

Don’t be stupid
