GDT: Trade Deadline: f*** Rantanen/His Agent

[FreshSeabass]

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Wouldn't this be the funniest year for us to just go nuts in the playoffs and win the Cup anyway?

 

[Justicebork]

Late rumors are Rakell to us, Marchand to Florida, VGK buzzing about

 

[Brock Anton]

FLORIDA??

That is wild considering what happened the past two years.

 

[DaveG]

Rakell's got a good bit of term left and was a guy I really wanted at the deadline 2-3 years back. If it's not stupid expensive that's a good add.

Hopefully no girlfriend baggage unlike a certain Finn.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Rakell doesn't really get my juices flowing, but it all depends on the return. Won't say no to another top 6er for a few years.

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I mean.....

Once Orlov leaves we're going to be such good friends. I just know it.

 

[FreshSeabass]

 

[Brock Anton]

Tkachuk and Marchand the most hated duo ever?

 

[FreshSeabass]

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Drink!

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Marchand and Tkachuk on the same playoff team, like truly it's impressive how much playoff nastiness they've been able to acquire.

IMO the Cup favorites. Gotta hope they get knocked out early because they'd sweep us in the Conference Finals.

(Yeah, I said Conference Finals. This may not be the best team we've ever brought into the playoffs, but the Metro is winnable this year. It's not out of the question.)

 

[TheBigLetowski]

Canes done per Seravalli. I am pretty angry.

 

[Stickpucker]

Rakell still has 30g potential. I'd take him here for a few seasons.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Not doing anything else today seems odd. I guess no one wanted Roslovic?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Kind of shocked that they actually punted on the season, in terms of trying to win the cup. That’s defeatism I expect from pessimistic fans, not NHL management.

 

[Borsig]

Guys ffs we barely beat the flames and bruins. We're gonna get cleaned by Florida if not Toronto or even jersey or Columbus.

Stop and think about the retool and new window

 

[Nikishin al Gaib]

Yeah the shine is firmly off the Eric Tulsky era in Raleigh

 

[Rad ChaLose]

Florida vs Carolina playoff series would be an absolute bloodbath

 

[Brock Anton]

Guys ffs we barely beat the flames and bruins. We're gonna get cleaned by Florida if not Toronto or even jersey or Columbus.

Stop and think about the retool and new window

Then sell off the other UFA's. Just don't trade Rantanen then do f*** all else.

 

[Joe McGrath]

If they were fully punting they would have traded Orlov and Roslovic and maybe Hall. I think they are just giving the team a chance to compete as is. Don’t want to lose the room entirely.

 

[whiskers]

This Trade hasn't been finalized yet. Per TSN.

so Stanky and 2x1st rounders? what about the 2x 3rd rounders?

 

[OG]

Canes Facebook admin is in for a wild evening.

Someone f***ed up along the line if this team is not a real competitor whilst being second in the division. Like I said in the other thread - Aho turns 28 this offseason and you’re losing two top 4 D. Nikishin is an absolute must. Any fumble there and it’s time to torch the FO. Has to be a significant f***ing re-tool. No games.

 

[Borsig]

Let's take these 1sts to the draft and see if we can steal some talent with term. We've still got nikishin coming in. Literally the only thing we have is less necas playoff vaporware.
This is a random dice rolll year and we shouldn't burn assets on this one.

Our best shot was last year and the pp blew it.
