2025 NHL Trade Deadline

He's probably asking for 8 years at $12+ million / year when he's about to turn 29. That's a disastrous contract.

On our Toronto radio shows , I think it was Ferraro who mentioned closer to 14 mil.

Thats the shit part of the industry , as soon as your a contender or winning cups cap hell and roster turnover is around the corner

My opinion of that deal for Colorado changed very quickly.

Yup this is a similar cap type deal that TBay did with Sergashev , time to pounce was now .

Different dynamics but required to balance the future cap for Colorado.

But the Canes will probably lose him in the summer like Guentzal

No way the Canes pay him 12m let alone 14m

I think it's a virtual guarantee he'll be a free agent in July. Virtually no chance he re-signs there.

They're basically upgrading Necas with Rantanen. They were going to lose Necas anyway, and I don't think any team was going to give up anything they wanted (roster players) until Rantanen was available.

I totally get why Carolina's doing this. Colorado's return is a little underwhelming, to be honest, but I can understand their reasoning as well.

Chicago, on the other hand? Does the GM know what asset management means, or is that a foreign concept over there?

Good post and totally understand what both teams were thinking

Necas at 7ish is an easier resign and 3 years younger for Colorado

But the Hawks held the hammer here to facilitate this deal and needed more in return.
