Yeah, if we can find a Muzzin/McCabe trade that is worth it, let's go. But no more firing picks down a hole on rentals pls.

Also, like if a C upgrade isnt there ( Schenn and Laughton i think are overpriced for what they are) spend on one of the W that are actualluy good, like a Palmieri

The way this whole Rantanen thing has gone down is pretty weird.

I can understand making the trade for him if you’ve already discussed it with him ahead of time and worked out a contract extension. I can understand acquiring him as a pure rental for this year’s playoff run. And I can understand acquiring him with the hope that, by the time the playoffs are done and he’s had a few months to settle in, you’ve sold him on the idea of staying in Carolina.

But yanking him totally unexpectedly out of the only NHL city he’s ever known and his home for the past 10 years to a city on the other side of the continent he has no connection to, sticking a contract under his nose and then telling him “Hey, welcome to Raleigh! Commit to staying here for the next eight years right now, or we’ll start taking calls for you and ship you off to some other place before the deadline.”…again, just a very weird way to handle things.

yeah.

I thought the key dea was that he and Aho were buddies and that was supposed to make it easy to work on and off the ice.
 
i guess they've lost both Dougie and Siegenthaler to injuries....but i thought both were projected back before the end of the year?
 
honestly everything about NJ is overrated to me. one surprise super hot season for a young core and suddenly they were an expected dynasty.

though to be fair the one move that has worked out way better for them than i expected is Markstrom.

Their goaltending was soooo bad last year. It would have been hard for Markstrom to not be an improvement, and i think Hughes is legit too, but he's dead an so are they and all the Dumoulin's in the world cant solve that
