No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[zeke]

iirc rantanen was used at C a good bit in colorado, it's just that they rarely wanted to split up mac/rants.

 

[zeke]

rants has a $4.6 caphit for carolina. we could easily fit that in with max retention. or with some other minor moves.

 

[Artnes]

Maybe Rantanen is holding all the cards here and only willing to go to a team he's zoned in on.

Seems to be being pretty stubborn about signing

 

[zeke]

I'm fine with renting tbh.

 

[Artnes]

I don't expect them to pull it off but that's a big dick move by Tre if he can make it happen

 

[axlsalinger]

Not for Knies though. But yeah, if you start with Robertson and a 1st and they don't hang up the phone, giddy up.

Maple Leafs Insider Lays Out Potential Trade Package for Hurricanes' Mikko Rantanen

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been linked to Mikko Rantanen for some time after it was reported that the Carolina Hurricanes would be looking to deal the Finnish superstar.

thehockeynews.com

If that's the cost then you make that trade yesterday

2026 1st, Timmy binford and Robertson for a signed Rantanen?

Fuck yes

 

[leafman101]

without doing anything crazy they have enough cap space to add Rantanen and Schenn/Nelson at 50%, or Lauhgton by trading Knies, Holmberg and Dewar/Timmins.

 

[Slinger 48]

I want this fucking team to win, I've been waiting too fucking long for this fucking team to win.

I'd really hate to see Knies go but if that's what it takes to win, then see ya later. I'd far rather lose Robertson than Knies though.

Thing is, I doubt whatever they come up with will be sufficient to win and I, along with everyone else, will still be waiting for this fucking team to win.

Fuck it's discouraging.

Rants or bust for me

 

[leafman101]

Whats a "little unique"? Marner, Berube and Tre for the nerd and Rantanen.

You'd have to throw in the proverbial second rounder

 

[Artnes]

Ill give Pizzaboy credit, he's looking for a big swing if they are entertaining Rants long term

at 28 years old:
Shanahan - 788 gp, 363 gls, 743 pts (82 gp, 37 gls, 77 pts)
Rantanen - 631 gp, 289 gls, 687 pts (82 gp, 38 gls, 89 pts)

I’ve been falling for this shit over 20 years. I was in high school when we got Leetch. If I’m remembering right I think that’s about the last time we got an impact add at the deadline. Nolan same year? Or prior?

Rantanen would be huge.

 

[trujaysfan]

Same year but nolan was either broken or was soon broken.

 

[Artnes]

Remember the hit. Went into the corner on a forecheck and his knee buckled.

He was never the same

 

[leafman101]

There was the year in between we got Francis, Gilmour and Housley and they all got hurt.

Edit: it was Nolan, Gilmour, Wesley and Housley and they all got hurt
