We need a 2C.

Beck saw very little ice in the 3rd.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Apparently Rantannen’s ask is $14M AAV, Dal offered $13M, Canes $12.5M, and Avs $11.5M

Recall, negotiations for current expiring contract w Avs was a hassle - missed portion of training camp while negotiating..

Rantanen definitely isn’t Jake “I don’t give a shit” Evans

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Well he’ll get his 14 mill, but it’ll be for a crap team lol

 

[GEEMAN]

Dont get concussed on the way out

Hawks will get desperate and still be 2 years away from being 3 years away

SJS - Celebrini’s wing man…

 

[Sal_Butera]

I take it Hughes’ strategy is to wait till 2:59pm in anticipation sellers ask prices will drop to liquidation sale levels?

Is another Vanek situation going to present itself (Rantanen)?

Doubt Grier goes that route this quick

Unlikely
Current Rantanen stock holders are not dummies

Rangers will give it to him. That's Draisaitl money and he's been reported to want similar. Question is though do you want Rantanen as your highest paid player. Draisaitl is a no brainer.

Hughes has already set his prices. It's how he works. When trans can't find battery they call him right before 3.

Rantanen better find a way to produce for the reminder of the year or he’ll live with regrets. He’s one bad playoffs away from losing ten of millions in potential revenue.

Rants is never going to a Canadian team. And we have plenty of wingers already.

Hell no , Rant is the star support piece not the line driver or franchise player

Rags are done with an aging core

He will see soon enough that Nate/Makar top 5 players in the game carried his ass

Expect a huge playoff disappointment

Yeah, even Drouin is close to PPG and we all know about Lehkonen... looks like my Nordiques/Avalanche fan buddy who liked the trade knows what he's talking about.

Good player but he's overestimating himself big time. He's not a 14M player. And he's going to be 29 this year. Someone will regret that contract in 5 years, maybe sooner.

 

[AH$$$]

Whoever pays Rantanen is going to be stuck with a suck. Even in Colorado in some of his briefings you could tell his sucky attitude. Dude looks unhappy all the time.

Lehkonen and Selanne were rare Finns with an actual smile and welcoming demeanor.

 

[AH$$$]

As for the Habs we are lacking 13/14 fwd and 7 D types. Look for those to be picked up on waivers or some minor acquisition.
