Flames are in a dilemma with Wolf getting too good too quickly. They finally get their potential franchise goalie in his prime, but that means they won't ever bottom out, but they won't be good enough to be contenders until they wait for prospects to pan out. But if you continue to trade away players for picks to be less competitive, how will that impact Wolf? Last thing we need is for him to turn into Gibson because the rest of the team sucks so much.

Do they start supplementing their core with UFAs to try to compete then?

I assume he will chase money for sure, but I doubt it’s at any cost.

Location will matter as well.

I don’t think Rantanen is the right player to add to our already aging core.

Be curious if just for rental

But he loves Kadri and mountains

[FlamesAreOne]

Good.

So 12m is fine all of a sudden. Logan Stankoven, you are a Hurricane.

[Tbull8]

Stankoven, Aho, Jarvis. Thats a small forward core

[Rejean31]

Sounds like it is a done deal. Rantanen to Dallas.

Sportsnet says it’s done

Wonder how Colorodo is feeling about all of this. I'm sure they traded him over to the eastern conference thinking he would stay there. Will be a fun playoffs in the west.

Wonder if it was originally 7 x 12mil, now it's 8 x 12mil?

[Mattman]

So 8 x 12 (96 mil) is what Dallas is offering reportedly

Weren't the Canes offering 100 mil plus?

And why the heck wouldn't Rantanen take 8 x 12 with Colorado?

Even though that's true, time and time again the players have shown that it does in fact have a major impact on their decisions.

It's a serious problem in the NHL.

His agent must have schooled him on tax rates.

Not from us, but 12m x 8 could be a decent deal, especially in a place like Dallas vs here. Interested in seeing what the return is.

Will be interesting to see what Marner gets cause I'm not seeing how it will be better value than Rantanen at 12m per

If he goes UFA why not? Bidding war

Good question. Maybe he just had a change of mind and wants it done.

Sorry, I agree with you that Marner will get more. I meant that Rantanen's value at 12m likely better than whatever someone will pay Marner
