Someone suggested Vegas as an option. Not sure who they could trade that would be enough… Maybe Barbashev + Howden + pick? Don’t know if those players would be enough because those are 2nd/3rd line players.

Carolina has absolutely no hand, if they move Rantanen. The only reason they would move him is if they can't sign him, and then he is a pure rental, and they have no time. They will be selling him at 50 cents on the dollar.
As for Byfield, no way LA does that, IMO.
